Destination: Mesquite, NV
Mesquite, once known as Mesquite Flats when it was founded by the Mormons in 1884, is the fastest growing area in Nevada, thanks in large part to its burgeoning golf scene. The population of Mesquite, located in the Virgin River Valley 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas, has doubled in the last decade to nearly 20,000 as some of the best names in the golf course architecture have painted canvasses on the desert landscape.
Destination: Mesquite, NV
Located 80 miles north of Las Vegas in the Virgin River Valley, Mesquite is the hub of the fastest growing golf destination in the West. Here, you'll find a selection of championship golf courses, luxurious resorts featuring action packed casinos, live entertainment, tasty dining options, soothing spa/salon treatments and all the resort amenities required complete the dream vacation.
The newest member to the Golf Mesquite Nevada family is the Conestoga Golf Club in Mesquite, Nev. Conestoga is a scenic golf course artfully interwoven with the character and contours of Mesquite’s spectacular landforms. Undulating through canyons with gentle elevation changes, rugged rock outcroppings and tranquil water elements, Conestoga is a dramatic golf experience.
Adding to the golf excitement are the remaining course options on the Golf Mesquite Nevada menu; CasaBlanca Golf Club, Falcon Ridge, The Palms, the Canyons and Palmer courses at the Oasis Golf Club. Then after a quick but stunning drive through the Virgin River Gorge, Coral Canyon Golf Club and Sand Hollow Resort in nearby St. George, Utah offer more chances for effortless swings, smooth putting strokes and spectacular photo ops.
On virtually every one of these highly rated golf courses, golfers are treated to breathtaking scenery, impeccable conditions and country club service. From the forward tees, all are extraordinarily playable with spacious scenic fairways. The Palms Golf Club is perhaps a perfect metaphor for golf in Mesquite. Its front nine consists of gently rolling holes and plenty of room to roam while the back twists up and down through the hills and canyons and requires far more precision than power.
When the precision is found to be lacking, virtually every one of the area courses offers comprehensive instruction from top PGA Professionals who can fine tune the swing into tip top shape on immaculately groomed practice facilities.
Planning a perfect Golf Mesquite Nevada vacation is simple!
