About
Pala Mesa Golf Resort is situated between Temecula wine country and the beautiful countryside of San Diego's North County. The course was carefully carved from the surrounding hillsides, providing rolling fairways and undulating greens throughout the layout. Towering oaks, sycamores, and elms blanket the course's landscape, providing the perfect complement to the stunning mountain views. The fairways are tight and lined with trees, demanding a fair amount of accuracy. The greens also play fairly quick. The golf course does provide a challenging round but it is seemingly much tougher than it actually is. Beginners should still feel comfortable taking on the course. The versatile layout in combination with the consistently good conditions have earned Pala Mesa acclaim as one of the best golf courses in San Diego County.

Nice course!
The course has been upgraded and is in very nice condition! However, many of the mature trees have died and fallen down. It has changed the entire dynamic of the course which I have played for 25 years. They need to hire and arborist to evaluate the entire course in detail. Lastly, they have been talking about improving (or tearing down and replacing) the clubhouse and restaurant. It needs to be done!
Excellent!
Very nice golf course with good amenities. Jason was accommodating and friendly!
Fun Course
Wonderful course - challenging layout and in good condition. As a Senior Golfer I appreciate the Silver tee box!
Great course that was worth the drive from SD
Great Saturday for golf. I would absolutely drive up here again for a round. Worth the trip.
Improvements Galore
The course was in great shape. The rough was longer than we remember so that added a challenge to our round. The greens were also in excellent shape. The cost for a bucket of balls was expensive. The balls were very old and many would not fly. Overall it was a great day and and the improvements made have made it very desirable to play.
beautiful views and fast/true greens
helpful and responsive staff
clean and well maintained restrooms
polite pro shop crew
well marked course
nice/smooth cart path
enjoyed the changes in elevation on the course and great views from a number of the holes
challenging but fun - no frustration playing this well laid out course

We always enjoy playing this course. It can be challenging with the deep rough. The course is in great condition. The course was not crowded so pace of play was great. Staff is very friendly and helpful. We will play again when back in this area
