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
Would play again, not knowing the course, greens were challenging because most slanted back to front or front to back also left to ri;ght or right to left very few level puts made for a difficult day of getting approach right and then avoid 3 putt

Fun course, slooooow AF
Conditions are pretty good for this time of year. Great layout. Greens were pretty good. Some bunkers need sand, others were good to go. Back 9 was pretty slow. But I will be back.

Fine course
Frost delay so we started on #5 with a shotgun start. Got to #1 and 4 groups backed up so we left early. Staff only charged me $70 when I agreed to $83 on Golf Now so that was nice.

Good weekend pace of play
Tee times are every :15 which spreads the course out nicely. Had a slow foursome ahead of us for 9h, but passed them at the turn and had quick play for back half. Course in nice condition and surrounding landscape in Fallbrook always nice. Would play again.
Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Pala Mesa Resort. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
