About Palms Golf Club
The Palms is a William Hull design and a Mesquite original. The par-72, 6,818-yard layout (73.2 rating / 131 slope) pairs a flatter front nine - wide fairways with water on all but one hole - with a back nine of dramatic elevation change, including drops of more than 100 feet from tee to fairway.
History
Palms Golf Club — History
The Palms Golf Club opened in 1990 as the first golf course built in Mesquite, designed by William Hull.
Design
Palms Golf Club — Design
Hull split the course into two characters -- an open, water-laced front and an elevation-driven back -- for variety across the round.
What Sets It Apart
Why Play Palms Golf Club
The course that started golf in Mesquite (1990) -- a two-character William Hull layout still worth the trip.
The Round
The Journey at Palms Golf Club
I.
The Opening
The Palms opens on its flatter, water-laced nine. The par-5 1st runs slightly downhill past a large palm on the right to a green with deep bunkers left, right and behind. The 2nd doglegs left along a pond, and the par-3 3rd has water left and an island bunker right. The par-5 4th bends right toward water hidden from the tee, and the club recommends a lay-up and a short wedge. Water sits right of the 411-yard 5th and right of and behind the 6th.
II.
The Middle
The par-3 7th has water in front of and behind a two-tier green, with a bail-out to the left. The 8th doglegs left around a pond, and the long 9th heads back to the clubhouse between water on both sides. Then the course changes character: the 518-yard 10th sweeps downhill to a green ringed by palms, the par-3 11th is all carry over desert, and the 12th climbs steeply to a long, narrow green that plays one to two clubs longer.
III.
The Finish
The 13th is a short dogleg left to a green hidden from the tee. At the par-3 14th the tee shot must clear a ravine, with only a small bail-out area. The par-5 15th is the signature: a drop of about 115 feet from tee to fairway, a canal right and desert left. The short 16th has water right within driving range and a canal left, the 17th turns right from an elevated tee, and the 18th runs uphill to a large green bunkered on both sides.
How to Play It
Palms Golf Club — Playing Strategy
Beginner / High Handicap
Water is in play across most of the front nine, so learn the drop areas the club card provides on the 7th, 14th and 15th before the round. On the par-5 4th, follow the club's advice: lay up and leave a short wedge rather than chase water hidden from the tee. At the 7th, the bail-out area left of the two-tier green is the sensible target.
Intermediate / Mid Handicap
The two nines ask different questions. Going out, the danger is lateral water, so position off the tee matters more than distance; coming in, it is elevation. Take one to two extra clubs into the uphill 12th and 18th, and remember that the 11th and 14th are carries with little room short of the green. On the 15th, finding the fairway is what avoids a big number.
Advanced / Low Handicap
The 15th rewards a long, accurate drive from its elevated tee, with a canal right and desert left. The short 13th and 16th tempt driver, but water on the 16th is reachable from the tee and the 13th's green is hidden from it. On the front nine, the club itself steers players to lay up on the par-5 4th.
