Pala Mesa Resort

This is a very challenging course in great shape. The staff is very accommodating.

The course is in very good condition with sand traps with playable sand. The rough is a bit long but they were mowing when we played the day after a holiday. Fairways uniformly consistent and greens very fast and challenging. Tee box options were good but a few consolidated due to wear.

Pala Mesa has such gacious staff and a most beautifully designed course !!

To enjoy !!

Pala Mesa is a favorite course for our 4 some.

The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the rough is too long make it quite difficult to find your golf ball even is you're only a couple of yards off the fairway. Getting into the rough is very penalizing almost as much so as at Torrey Pines. It really slowed our round due to the searches for golf balls that were difficult to find. You had to be practically on top of your golf ball to find it. I wish they would cut it 1" shorter to speed up play.

Whole course is cart path only. It was not on the app. I’ve never been so tired after golf. Twice the walk. Walk to the ball and walk back uphill. It should’ve been noted when I booked. It said 10/06-10/08 cart path only. Today is 10/27. What gives?

Don't go here. Fairways are shaved crabgrass right now with greens that literally putt like sand pits. I knew the greens were just punched when I reserved, but didn't expect the rest of the course to be destroyed with it. Horrible.

This course is never really that busy during the weekdays, when I usually play. The layout is quite wonderful, and the maintenance is always kept up. Staff at the pro shop are SUPER friendly and helpful. I try to make a point to play here at least once a month, but lately I’ve been revisiting at least every couple weeks. Well worth it!

Lane the cart attendant was very nice and professional. He located my club and brought to me during play. Thank You. Lane.
