History

The area in which Mesa Verde is currently located was largely unconstructed until the 1960s and 1970s when an influx of developments hit the region.[1]

The Mesa Verde Country Club opened in the northwest corner of the neighborhood in January of 1959 and has been home to numerous golfing events. The Orange County Opens and numerous PGA Tour events have been held at the course. The course was formerly home to the Toshiba Seniors Classic. Famous golfers such as Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods, and Chi-Chi Rodríguez have golfed at the course.[2]
