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.

Getting back to resort status

New carts with gps. Good greens. Fairway and tee boxes coming back very nicely. Everyday value for green fees need to come down to make this course a regular rotation. Otherwise highly recommend this course.

Decent course but ridiculously fast greens

The course was decent but the greens were like putting on a hardwood floor. I like fast greens but i don’t like my ball almost stopping at the cup only to continue 15 feet past. Some holes had my ball coming to a stop near the cup and then rolling back. There are better courses near by for a better price.

Pristine course

I’ve seen some pretty rough reviews. This must have been before the casino took ownership. The casino has put in lots of money into improving the course. They drilled two new wells so the watering is great and it shows by how lush the course is. The sand traps are filled with new sand. The staff was extremely helpful. The course layout is fair. The first three holes are tight, but the rest of the course opens up. The greens are in great shape all be it fast. I’m scheduled to play there later this week.

A nice course, but attention to little details would improve the experience. There were frequent watering stations, but no cups to put the water into

A resort course with a muni feel to it. There was no starter at the starter's shack. The water coolers on the course were completely worthless, since there were no cups available to drink out of!

Basically, it is a nice course with a good layout, but not the resort course experience you would expect.

Price increase

Have played this course many times and always enjoy the course. Pricing has always been fair for a resort course. Noticed dramatic increase in price. New ownership? Course conditions have not been elevated to meet the new price point. While most of the greens are in good to great shape, the t-boxes are in need of leveling and seeding. The bunker and fairway conditions are inconsistent. I don't see myself returning to play unless I am able to get a hot deal or special rate given the price vs conditions.

Nice but Pricey

I think the course should offer Fallbrook residents a break in price or offer a deal to buy 5 rounds.

Good course but not for the price

Loved this course to play but recently the prices have gotten out of hand. I wouldn’t pay 90 or the 120 they normally ask to play here. Definitely not worth the price. Missed the days of $75 to play

Great course, it is a good challenge! Great greens, bunkers and fairways!

Cost should keep up with competition to have more people play the course. I believe 50-60$ would be a reasonable price. Beautiful course would totally play again!
