Overview

Mesquite, Nevada, is an hour’s drive northwest of Las Vegas and a world away. The community has the Eureka Casino Resort but is covered with golf course options and a short trip over the horizon brings you to the Grand Canyon hikes and Lake Mead waters. Visitors can do much worse than play outdoors all day in Mesquite and then hit the tables after sundown.

Where to Play

The nearby Oasis Golf Course features two 18-hole courses worth your time. The Palmer Course is carved out of desert canyons to give players a host of options. Arnold Palmer designed the par 71 track with five tee boxes and the course provides a challenge to all levels of player. Its sibling course, The Canyons, has a lot of elevation change as its holes weave up and down local terrain. The Canyons fairways and greens are generous and visitors can swing hard. Non-members can make reservations up to 90 days in advance. TheOasisGolfClub.com. The Jack Nicklaus-designed Coyote Springs Golf Club opened in 2018 and is one of the Bear’s finest desert creations. It is 45 minutes north of Las Vegas and 55 minutes south of Mesquite. The course winds through a new housing development and is intended to be the cornerstone to a desert golf community. CoyoteSprings.com. The Conestoga Golf Club is another great desert test. The holes are immaculately weaved across the desert floor and the course provides a full test for all range of players. Post-round celebrations or commiserations can be found at the 1880 Grille. ConestogaGolf.com.

Where to Stay

The Eureka Casino Resort has newly remodeled rooms and suites, but the place to be is poolside. The cabanas and lush landscaping make the ‘oasis’ reputation of Mesquite a reality. The new William Hill Sportsbook in the casino gives sports gamblers a new base camp from which to enjoy the games. The Rising Star Sports Ranch is also available, designed for groups and features 210 guest rooms and suites.

Things to Do

Cathedral Gorge State Park is a two-hour drive north of Mesquite and offers miles of trails to explore. Two hours to the south, Mesquite visitors can hit Lake Mead or the western edge of Grand Canyon National Park. There are rugged day hikes and places to visit throughout the region.
