Sometimes the middle of nowhere is pretty good place to be. Just ask the developers who in the last decade have put little Mesquite, Nevada on the map as a refreshing getaway from the bustle of raging civilization. Situated near the borders of Nevada, Utah and Arizona, just 37 miles south of St. George and 80 miles north of Las Vegas, Mesquite has in the last decade become one of the fastest growing cities in the country and an irresistible lure for golfers, hikers and endless sightseers.

Casablanca is Mesquite’s finest destination resort, featuring an elegant casino and a championship golf course. The Palms was the first course built in Mesquite and gets credit for igniting the fuse that created the golf explosion here. The Palms provides golfers with two contrasting nines: the front nine has fairly flat wide fairways with small lakes providing a precision challenge. The Canyons course is 18-hole of spectacular golf, designed to compliment the already challenging and scenic Palmer course. This is a rugged, meticulously designed course, complimenting the character and charm of its natural setting.
