Mesa Country Club




About this course
Mesa Country Club, a fixture in the Valley of the Sun, whispers tales of early Arizona golf, born in an era when the desert was still being tamed. This parkland layout, dating back to the late 1940s, presents a surprisingly gentle contrast to the rugged landscape surrounding it. Generous fairways invite the bold drive, but well-guarded, modestly sized greens demand an exacting short game. A subtle test for golfers who can't depend on length alone. William "Billy" Bell, a prolific designer known for his work throughout the Southwest, sculpted the original course. While not a regular host of major championships, Mesa Country Club holds a significant place in the local amateur scene and has been the site of numerous state-level competitions. The club's enduring appeal stems from its unpretentious atmosphere and the genuine camaraderie among its members. Mesa Country Club is known for its thriving men's and women's golf associations. It is a place where friendships blossom as readily as the desert blooms after a monsoon rain.

Getting there
Mesa Country Club is most readily accessed via Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), situated roughly 30 miles west, a drive of approximately 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic patterns through the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. For those arriving by private aircraft, Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport (ASF) lies just minutes from the club, offering a more discreet entry point into the East Valley. The route traces eastward from Sky Harbor through the urban sprawl before opening into the high desert landscape of Mesa proper, where the transition from city to golf community unfolds gradually along surface roads lined with native saguaro and creosote, the Superstition Mountains rising dramatically to the south as a constant geographical anchor. The final approach to Mesa Country Club settles into the quiet residential corridors of this established golfing enclave, where manicured fairways and championship greens emerge from the Sonoran terrain like an oasis of order in the desert.
