About Pala Mesa Resort

The ranch-style Pala Mesa Resort in Fallbrook is just minutes away from Temecula wine country. All 132 rooms have either been renovated or will be soon. A heated outdoor pool, four lighted tennis courts and fitness room are available to guests. The golf course starts out narrow but gets more scenic with more elevation changes later in the round.

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.

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

We had not played this course in years.We finally decided to pay the premium fee and were very disappointed because when I booked on line it wasn’t disclosed that the greens has just been lined and sanded.

Pace of play

This course was in great condition. We were the first ones to tee off . We finished round in 31/2 hrs and layout was great and everything was nice and greens. If you play here try to tee off before 8am as the jr kids show up to practice . Overall great course to check off the bucket list .
