Great course, great staff, Hotel right across the street. Windy and cold in the AM but storm blew thru and afternoon was great. Blind shots always gave you an aiming point.

Some really beautiful holes, but a few too many blind shots.

The day we played it was very windy. Combine that with the many blind shots that start at the first tee and get really hokey when it is combined with the slow play created by not knowing where to drive the ball to. Poor course conditions are a reflection upon the tough times, but the course marshals could have better attitudes, There are better courses in the area with fewer blind shots and better course conditions.

Excellent course. Great, attentive, and friendly staff. Very nice clubhouse with nice pro shop and excellent restaurant. Course is well maintained with interesting holes. Best course in Mesquite, even better than the more famous but quirky Wolf Creek. Will play every time I am in the area.

It is well laid out, the staff was extremely nice and helpful. Even though the layout presented a challenge it was still playable. I would play it again, and I would recommend it. It is now my favorite course in Mesquite, Nevada.

Falcon Ridge is a very intriguing layout, cut through the canyons that are typical of the Mesquite area. The course is not long but winds through the soft steep canyons and can present trouble for the errant tee shots. There are lots of elevation changes, especially on the back nine. (this is definitely a cart only course) In some ways, the holes are similar but in a lessor scale to the famous Wolf Creek course located nearby but Falcon Ridge gives you an easier course for a much more reasonable price. A few funky holes that you need to play at least once to know where to place the ball! Nice staff and the clubhouse has a great view of the surrounding hills. Don't miss this one on your golf vacation in Mesquite!
