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.

Don’t tell the people before they sign up that there is a massive kid tournament playing
Pala Mesa is a really nice course in decent condition, which is now charging a lot more to play… The big problem is when you host the junior world champions and you don’t tell people signing up for a teatime that that is happening and they jam players in behind it It’s like watching paint dry… But at least you have all the helicopter parents wandering around or kids running into bunkers to play in the sand when you’re trying to hit up because their sibling is playing… Super disappointed.
Great shape & staff
Played after 3 JC courses and was in best shape compared to those; the greens were all great and the fairways cleaned of leaves.. the staff were great...
Great day
Started early in some fog. Third hole cleared up and was a great day of golf.

Nice track. Course was in good condition. Very challenging. We enjoyed the day.
Nice course!
The day was perfect and course was a bit challenging but overall forgiving.
Greens are pure
Really enjoyed our morning round course is in greta shape! Fast greens!
Beautiful spot
Course was in great shape great staff good food awesome price for what u got
Course has improved tremendously.
I was pleasantly surprised at the improved condition of the course. New ownership, is keeping up with the Joneses. Native Oaks casino owned. Temecula Creek Casino owned, so Pala made their move. I’m so glad they did. We all benefit from the competition.
Hopefully the ordinary golfer won’t be priced out. I will continue to support Native Oaks and Pala, TCI is getting to pricey.
Pala Mesa Review
Very beautiful area. They had just seeded so was golf path only. People in group ahead were slow, so pace of play was off.
Pala Mesa Golf Resort
Had not been here for 4 or 5 years as the course seem to be getting in bad shape, and the rooms were run down and needed work.
We were pleasantly surprised as the golf course was in great shape, and all the rooms have all been re-done and looked like new.
