Oasis is Mesquite’s only 36-hole club and the one with the longest history in the town’s golf boom. Arnold Palmer’s course opened in 1995, and the second eighteen, the Canyons, was completed in 2005. Golf Channel filmed all but one episode of its Big Break Mesquite series on the Palmer course. Both layouts share one clubhouse, one range and one booking desk, which makes Oasis a practical base for a group that wants two different rounds without moving the cars. The club also runs a membership, so expect some tee times to be held for members.
Oasis Golf Club (Palmer and Canyons) green fees and tee times.
Book through the online tee sheet on the club’s website or call the golf shop on 702-346-7820. Visitors paying the rack rate can book 60 days ahead. Golf packages, which the club can combine with hotel rooms, open 180 days ahead, so a spring group should use that route. Residents of Clark County, Nevada, and Washington County, Utah, get a lower rate with proof of address but can only book 30 days out. Cancel no later than 24 hours before the day of play or the card holder is charged the full green fee, and some booking fees are not refunded. Oasis does not publish a rate table online, so the price appears against each time when you book.
The courses at Oasis Golf Club (Palmer and Canyons).
Palmer Course (par 71)
Arnold Palmer’s original 18, opened in 1995. Five tee options make it the friendlier choice for a mixed group, though the canyon walls punish a wild drive. Golfbreaks singles out the 6th, a 367-yard par four from a raised tee to a narrow fairway hemmed in by rock.
Canyons Course (par 71)
Fully opened in 2005. The club credits the back nine to Arnold Palmer, and listings name Dave Druzisky for the newer front nine. The club calls it the more difficult course. Its 9th is a par three of about 173 yards from an elevated tee across a creek and waterfalls, so take one or two clubs less.
The round, in perspective.
Both courses play to par 71 through red-rock canyons above the Virgin River valley. The Palmer has five sets of tees, canyon-lined fairways and heavily contoured greens, and the club notes that Golf Digest once listed it among its Top 10 You Can Play. The Canyons is rated the harder of the two. Its front nine plays much like the Palmer; its back nine asks for length and accuracy into narrow targets. Directory listings say the Canyons combines a remodelled older nine, the Vistas, with a newer nine called the Arroyo, which is why its two halves feel different.

Las Vegas Harry Reid (LAS) is about 80 miles south-west on I-15, roughly an hour and a quarter. St George Regional (SGU) is about 45 minutes north-east. The club is at 100 Palmer Lane, on the north side of Mesquite, a short drive from Mesquite Boulevard.
Oasis has no hotel of its own, but its package desk books rooms with golf. In town, the Eureka Casino Resort and the CasaBlanca are the largest casino hotels, and the Virgin River Hotel sits beside the interstate. The Best Western Mesquite Inn is a simpler motel option. Timeshare owners at Master Villas can get the local rate by calling the golf shop.
Make a trip of it.
Wolf Creek is a couple of minutes away in the same canyon country and is much harder, so play it after a warm-up round on the Palmer. Conestoga, in Sun City Mesquite, is about ten minutes north-west, and Coral Canyon and Green Spring in Washington, Utah, are around 45 minutes up I-15. Away from golf, the Virgin River Gorge on I-15 east of town is one of the more dramatic short drives in the region.
Find your season.
October to May is the main season, with the busiest weeks in late winter and spring. Summer days in Mesquite regularly pass 40°C, so book the earliest times from June to August. Mesquite courses overseed in early autumn; ask the shop which of the two Oasis courses is open before booking a September trip.
Up to 60 days at the rack rate, online or by phone on 702-346-7820. Golf packages open 180 days out. Local residents of Clark County and Washington County are limited to 30 days. Cancellations need to be made by 24 hours before the day of play.
Which is harder, the Palmer or the Canyons at Oasis?
The club rates the Canyons as more difficult, mainly because of its back nine, which demands length and accuracy into tight targets. The Palmer has five tee sets and is the better first round. Both are par 71.
Was Big Break filmed at Oasis Golf Club?
Yes. The club says all but one episode of Golf Channel’s Big Break Mesquite were filmed on the Palmer course, which opened in 1995 and was designed by Arnold Palmer.
