Conestoga features Mesquite’s beautiful rugged rock and water elements. In addition to the feeling of being on Mars, the design carries golfers through canyons with elevation changes for a calm and secluded round. No matter the golf level, all players will enjoy the natural beauty as they play through the Sun City community in Mesquite. Golf Magazine has rated Conestoga as one of the top five golf courses in Nevada.

Owner Phil Timothy says, “Course designer Gary Panks created a masterpiece here at Conestoga Golf Club. Using the natural landscape’s unique characteristics, you would think this layout only needed some grass to be planted. The design is so natural. It’s a stunning layout. It’s scenic, picturesque, and a true test of every club in your bag.”

Coyote Springs is one of the best Jack Nicklaus-signature courses in the game. With eleven lakes in play through rolling fairways in a remote destination, many consider the golf course to be one of Nicklaus’ top creations. The surrounding Nevada desert at Coyote Springs makes golfers feel like they are well off the beaten track while being less than an hour from both Mesquite and Las Vegas. Although the golf course is not in Mesquite, the challenging greens and club service make Coyote Springs a mustvisit on a Golf Mesquite Nevada itinerary. The course is the ultimate golf challenge. From the tips at 7,471 yards but with four sets of tee boxes, it can also play 5,349 yards from the forward tees. Coyote Springs has been recognized on the “Best of” lists of many national golf publications, including Golf Digest, Golf, and Links.

The Canyons Course (left) is molded perfectly to its natural setting at the Oasis Golf Club, offering a wide variety of challenging holes and elevated tee boxes. The generous fairways and smooth Bermuda greens make the course player-friendly and are a refreshing change of pace.

The Canyons is player friendly at 6,400 yards from the tips, and good scores are in the offing if shots are placed in well-defined landing areas. Risk/ reward opportunities present themselves on both the outward and inward nines. The back nine was designed by Arnold Palmer.

The Arnold Palmer-designed Palmer Course (below) at the Oasis Golf Club offers emerald green fairways cradled in isolated canyons, a box canyon enshrining a lush green, four unique signature holes, elevated tees with majestic tee shots, and numerous hazards created by Mother Nature. The Palmer Course played host to the Golf Channel’s Big Break: Mesquite and has been ranked as “One of the Best You Can Play” by Golf Digest

This par-71 course with five different tees provides a stern test of golf skills as well as some of the most scenic desert panoramas in southern Nevada. The course can be played from 4,500 yards to 6,700 yards from the tips.

Falcon Ridge boasts a 6,550-yard, par-71 rolling layout, spectacular elevation changes, numerous water features, and high mesa views. Scoring opportunities come fast on the opening nine holes before the course stretches out, while more strategic golf shots are required on the inward nine. The golf course sits high on the cliffs of Mesquite and flows through the hills and canyons, providing one of the most picturesque golf venues in all of Mesquite.

Brandon Howard, Falcon Ridge Director of Operations, says, “Falcon Ridge has been a favorite of local and visiting golfers because of its fun challenge, great condition, and friendly staff. When you think about what you want from your ‘home course’ or even a course that you travel to, Falcon Ridge satisfies all requirements and becomes an easy, must-play decision.”

A quick drive north on Interstate 15 through the Virgin Valley gorge, which is a scenic wonder by itself, leads to two more championship-style Golf Mesquite Nevada partners in the nearby St. George, Utah, area.

Coral Canyon Golf Course works its way around some of the area’s most stunning red-rock formations and provides a resort-like layout with a variety of shot-making opportunities. The course’s character and beauty are only outdone by its variety of risk/reward chances.

Coral Canyon’s 7,029-yard, par-72 layout provides a unique golf experience with two par 5s as the opening holes. Birdies are available right at the start, so be sure to warm up on the multi-tiered driving range and practice putting areas.

A fun challenge that players face at Coral Canyon Golf Course is the short par-3, 122-yard sixth hole, which is situated in the natural red rock outcroppings and is one of the most unique holes on the Golf Mesquite Nevada menu.

Are you ready for an unforgettable golf experience?

The Championship Course at Sand Hollow is an unforgettable day of golf. Any definition of a “mustplay” course should include the unmatched beauty and excitement of Sand Hollow.

The Championship Course at Sand Hollow is a John Fought-designed masterpiece. As visually stunning as it is challenging, the layout moves in and around the worldrenowned distinctive red rock formations of southern Utah.

With a par-72, 18-hole layout, the Championship Course features an unsurpassed blend of sand, water, sun, and turf. Elevated tees, wide-sweeping cliffside fairways, and challenging greens will keep golfers on their toes. The 7,315-yard course plays along steep ridge lines, negotiates deep canyons, and weaves through lush rolling fairways.

In 1960, well before golf courses became ubiquitous in this area, St. George was just a sleepy town of about 5,000 people. Outside of a natural increase in population through childbirth, there wasn’t much in the way of residential growth—nor was there any impetus for significant growth.

In 1965, this began to change with the construction of Dixie Red Hills Golf Course and the emergence of residential air conditioning. Soon, St. George became a tourist destination and a regional golf mecca that fueled the city’s growth potential. No longer just a desert gas stop with triple-digit summer temperatures, St. George became known as an outdoor recreation destination year-round!

All these years later, golf is enjoying a level of popularity in St. George that it rarely—if ever—has experienced. The four golf courses in the City of St. George hosted more rounds than ever before in 2022.

“Golf has had a resurgence in popularity since the pandemic—and we continue to ride that wave,” says Colby Cowan, Director of Golf for the City of St. George. “As it has been for centuries, golf is a fun, safe outdoor activity for people of all ages, and we have four nice courses that provide these opportunities for our residents and visitors.”

The four city-owned courses—Dixie Red Hills, St. George Golf Club, Southgate, and Sunbrook—offer a balance of difficult and beginner-friendly holes that provide something for every level of golfer.

The following pages offer a glimpse of each city course:

HOLES: 9

LENGTH: 2,775 yards

AT A GLANCE: Picturesque Dixie Red Hills was the first golf course in St. George, setting the tone for what would become one of southwestern Utah’s hallmark leisure activities. On a cloudless day, Dixie Red Hills dazzles with its majestic backdrop of red rocks, shimmering above a blanket of green grass. Each hole on the 9-hole course has its own unique design. No. 6 is a par-3 between 60 and 140 yards based on the tees you play.

Whichever distance you start from, peril awaits—your tee shot must carry over water. In 2019, Dixie Red Hills completed construction on a new clubhouse with great views of the city. “Dixie Red Hills is very popular with people of all ages and skill levels,” says Allen Orchard, PGA Head Professional at Dixie Red Hills. “To this day, it is one of the most-played courses in the area and has created memories for many people.”

ADDRESS: 645 West 1250 North

PHONE: (435) 627-4444

HOLES: 18

LENGTH: 7,238 yards

AT A GLANCE: Challenging holes and terrific views characterize St. George Golf Club, which sits atop Bloomington Hills. No. 5 is a hot topic of discussion. It’s an intimidating par-5 with a water hazard sitting just in front of the green. Water is a factor on all the par-3s as well.

“The golf course has a very good layout— challenging, but not tricky. You can see what’s in front of you, so it is just a matter of hitting good shots,” says James Hood, PGA Head Professional at St. George Golf Club. “It is also a very walkable course. Other than the hill to No. 1 and the way back to the clubhouse at the end, it’s pretty flat.”

ADDRESS: 2190 South 1400 East PHONE: (435) 627-4404

HOLES: 18

LENGTH: 6,134 yards

AT A GLANCE: It’s a tale of two courses within 18 holes. The front nine are flat. The back nine have significant elevation change. The front nine have water hazards on eight of the holes. The back nine have just two holes affected by water. No. 8 stands out with its high-risk, high-reward characteristics.

Spanning only 278 yards from the white tee as a par 4, it carries allure for players dreaming of an eagle. To accomplish that, a drive must carry almost the complete distance over water to the green. That challenge aside, Southgate is more delightful than it is daunting.

The course recently received a facelift in the form of a $750,000 renovation of its clubhouse in 2021. The project included a covered outdoor deck, an increase of 1,500 square feet, a pro shop with multiple check-in computers, and a sitting area with two televisions. The new Southgate Cafe will also offer a full-service snack bar that serves breakfast and lunch and will have beer on tap.

“It has a much more inviting feel, and golfers really enjoy it,” Cowan says. “Many golfers are also enjoying the deck areas that overlook the front nine and offer great views of downtown St. George.”

ADDRESS: 1975 Tonaquint Drive

PHONE: (435) 627-4440

HOLES: 27 (three 9-hole courses: Woodbridge, The Pointe, Black Rock)

LENGTH: 6,818 yards

AT A GLANCE: Sunbrook, the crown jewel of St. George City-owned golf courses, has three 9-hole courses, allowing play from the top of the bluffs to the desert floor and around black lava rock and red sand traps. With staggering views of awe-inspiring rock formations and nearby alpine mountains, players are awash in the beauty of the surroundings. Bridges, water hazards, and changes in elevation make every hole an adventure. There is even a par-3 island hole that sparks dreams of an ace. Golf Digest twice rated Sunbrook—the only golf club in southwest Utah to feature 27 championship holes—as the best golf course in Utah.

It was the second week of February 2005, and the normally calm Virgin River grew into a raging giant, severely damaging four holes of the newly built Coyote Willows Golf Course. Refusing to allow Mother Nature to win that round, Coyote Willows still managed to open, offering a five-hole game. Those who played it twice achieved their nine holes.

In 2008, just as the recession hit Nevada, the course became a full nine holes. Sadly, by the end of the year, all employees were regrettably laid off, and the bank foreclosed in 2009.

Coyote residents Gary Hafen, Tony Evans, and Chuck Horn rallied a group of dedicated volunteers, who, along with superintendent Saul Gutierrez, helped maintain the course until a buyer was found. CW Investment Group, LLC, purchased the course in 2017.

Today, the love in the hearts and souls of the many volunteers can be felt as you play the course. With beautiful fairways and views of the Virgin Mountains, Coyote Willows embodies the human spirit. It is a story of triumph and proving that bigger is not always better.

The nine-hole course can be played as 18 with patrons never playing the same game twice. Whether you are looking for a two-hour break in your workday or are squeezing in a favorite pastime, the benefits of a nine-hole game are apparent. As you balance family, friends, or prior engagements, “there's always time for a date on the green.”

In today's world, staying healthy mentally and physically is a necessity. Coyote Willows puts emphasis on a better you, whether it is improving your game, spending time with your friends, or getting the exercise you need. Coyote Willows also gives you the option to choose between walking the course or riding in a cart.

Coyote Willows offers a very affordable game, especially for Mesquite. The course welcomes everyone from beginners to seasoned golfers. No. 8, the signature hole, offers a great riskreward challenge.

Coyote Willows would like to invite you to come party on the greens! They proudly support the future golfers of the community, offering great youth incentives and family bookings outside professional time frames.

The golf shop at Coyote carries top brands and is open to the general public. It's a great place to dress to the nines at Mesquite’s ONLY nine-hole course.
