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.

Great Getaway!!!!
The course was in great shape, I love the lay out, green, fairways and bunkers were in great shape. The only issue was being paired with to beginners, I realized they need to pair people up for pace of play but they should probably ask for handicaps when doing so. Otherwise a great time was had.
Late Tee Time Surprise
We decided play golf last minute and reserved the 1:40 tee time thinking that we will be playing only 9 holes. When we got there around 1pm, we were able to start golf right away. Fortunately, we played whole 18 holes. What a good deal we had. The course is decent and the weather was perfect at Escondido. We will definitely revisit this course in the future.
$120 ALL DAY?!
Why are you charging $120 all day every day all the way up to Sunset? I used to play every week here. No more. You are not Arrowood. You do not get to charge that much especially for every single time slot. Another good course ruined by greed and ignorance.
Too expensive
This course is fun and I would love to play. I use to play more often when the price was reasonable now it’s too expensive too play. Since the rates went up I’ve only played once. It’s a shame being that it’s the one closest to my house but there other course near by that are just as good at a 1/3 of the price.
Slow Play
WE played behind a Juniors folg tornament. Play was very slow due to the tournament. We were not advised of the tournament and would of played somewhere else. Very frusturaing slow play, the first par 3 we aited 30 minutes to tee off. Whole round took 6 hours.
too pricey
the course is in great shape. but it's too expensive, esp. considering who owns it. they have tons of money yet charge too much. will only play on rare occasions. other choices nearby.
Expensive
The course conditions were good, but I don’t think it’s worth $90 on a weekday. Maybe for $60 I’d be interested in playing again.
Bit overpriced
First of all, the pro shop staff was very friendly. The course is tight for the first 3 holes. Back 9 definitely has more character to it. I am visiting from Michigan and we can play far better courses for the price of this one. Some of the bunkers had mud and no sand. Tee boxes not maintained. Hopefully the new management under the casino will work on it.
pala mesa
nice course. lots of slope. bit pricey. should be no more than $75, esp given the wealthy ownership. need a marshal on course. there were 7 yahoos playing together who teed off as a four and three and then combined. not good.
Great Outing!
A fun layout with some tight fairways and some that are pretty open. Overall fun course layout. Course was in great shape. Tee boxes, greens, fairways, rough and sand were all great. A little expensive but I would recommend and would definitely go back. Played on Sunday at 10:00 - great pace of play.
Lower the price. You haven’t done anything
I would play here entry week but now they are priced like Arrowood. You are not Arrowood. Get back to normal pricing and I will return.
