Mesquite Golf Trip Guide
9 championship courses. Casino resorts. Private golf mansions. 80 minutes from Vegas, a world away from Vegas prices.
Getting There
Fly into Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas, pick up a rental car, and drive northeast on I-15. Flat interstate, no mountain passes, 80 minutes door to door.
Groups flying in from the West Coast often skip the flight entirely — Mesquite is a 5-hour drive from Los Angeles, 4 hours from Phoenix, 6 hours from Salt Lake City.
Coyote Springs Golf Club sits right on I-15 between Las Vegas and Mesquite. Many groups book it as their first or last round — play a Jack Nicklaus course on the way in, arrive in Mesquite ready for dinner.
The 9 Mesquite Courses
Every course is within 15 minutes of every hotel. No 45-minute Scottsdale commutes. Pick your courses based on what you want to play, not how far you want to drive.

Where to Stay
Mesquite has two kinds of group lodging that no other golf destination matches: private golf mansions purpose-built for large groups, and casino hotels with 24-hour entertainment.
Private Golf Mansions
Three homes within a 5-minute walk of each other. Full kitchens, hot tubs, pool tables, wet bars, and enough bathrooms for everyone to get ready for morning tee times simultaneously. Split among 8–24 golfers, the per-person cost drops well below a hotel room.
Golfer's Paradise
11 BR / 19 Beds · Sleeps 12–24
Valley View
7 BR / 12 Beds · Sleeps 8–14
The 19th Hole
8 BR / 12 Beds · Sleeps 8–16
Casino Hotels & Resorts
CasaBlanca Resort
Hotel Rooms & Suites · Sleeps 2–4 per room
Eureka Casino Resort
Hotel Rooms · Sleeps 2–4 per room
Holiday Inn Resort
200+ Rooms · Sleeps 2–4 per room
A golf mansion split among 12 guys costs significantly less per person than a standard hotel room — and you get a private home with hot tub, pool table, BBQ, full kitchen, and the best post-round hangout spot money can buy. It is the single biggest value advantage Mesquite has over every other golf destination.
When to Go
Perfect weather, best course conditions, highest demand. Book early — popular tee times fill up weeks in advance.
Hot but playable with early morning tee times. Green fees drop 20–40%. Great for groups that want maximum golf per dollar.
The insider move. Warm days, cool evenings, value-season rates still in effect. Fewer crowds. Courses in excellent shape after summer maintenance.

Add St. George: 13 More Courses, 40 Minutes Away

A 40-minute drive on I-15 opens up 13 additional courses including Sand Hollow (Utah's #1 public course), Entrada at Snow Canyon (private Johnny Miller design), and Black Desert Resort (the newest marquee course in the Southwest).
Most groups base in Mesquite for the casino entertainment and golf mansions, then day-trip to St. George courses. Or split the stay — 2 nights Mesquite, 2 nights St. George vacation rental.
