Reviews
Handled the recent rains well.
Overall after record rainfall the course has held up very well. The fairways and rough were a little shaggy but the crew hasn’t had many opportunities for mowing. The bunkers while a bit damp were still in great shape and played very well.
Great course
Cart issue that day so it was backed up. Overall great experience.
Hi, philycheng. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Pala Mesa Resort.
Best condition I've seen here (except for the tees)
Tee boxes need to be bulldozed, other than that, the rest of the course is in the best condition since I first played here in 1989. Greens are absolutely perfect, although I'd hate to play here all the time, because my 3-putt% d skyrocket! On the expensive side, but for a sunny Sunday, my son and I enjoyed our round.
Thanks so much for the great review, JungleBob888. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Pala Mesa Resort.

Great Value
The area is dealing with a ton of rain. Course was quite wet but playable. It is a great layout. Very scenic. Course is tight in places, but fair. I would definitely recommend going.

Nice!
It had rained a lot lately so the course was soft. It’s a fairly narrow course so you need to hit it straight. We enjoyed the back 9 more than the front. Decent value for the money. Would play again.

Impecable Green Rollinghills
It truly made me have a new outlook on golf. For the price, it’s an amazing impeccable course, great views, and greens are challenging but so fun. Green Rollinghills make you feel like you’re in a fairytale.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Pala Mesa Resort.
Pala Mesa - Excellent After Rains - Carts Not So
My father, brother and I played a round together. We've played course many times over the years. One of the best conditioned courses around after heavy rains. It drains exceptionally well.
Weather, course conditions and tempo of play was ideal. However, could not get over the fact the golf carts are in really sad and poor shape. Mine made so much noise, had to trade it in for another at the turn only to realize in middle of 10th hole, the GPS wasn't functioning properly. Heard they are getting new carts, that would be a good thing!
Thank you for taking the time to review us, 4wfamily6. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Pala Mesa Resort thanks you!
Hello and thank you for your 5-star rating! We're delighted you enjoyed your round. Please book another round with us soon, and thanks for choosing Pala Mesa Resort!
Pleasantly surprised
After reading other reviews we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the course. Staff was welcoming and very insightful for first timers. Pace of play was great. Course was in good condition.
The front nine was easier than the back nine which had some incredible views. Course was fair but challenging. The greens are quick but fair. Deifinitely will play it again.
Stopped for lunch next door at Aquaterra which was excellent.

Price increase
We've been playing this course off and on for the last 2 years. A few months ago when the course was at its worse we still played. Now that the rain improved the course, the prices went through the roof. It is not a hundred dollar course. Not even close. Our carts front wheels were both going outwards which made driving it a challenge. The cart started to die on 16. We limped back. The Fairways are in good shape, the greens look average, but the cost....out of this world. Some of the staff give discounts to veterans, but the kids in the pro shop aren't really sure how it works. Time to move on.

Pala Mesa golfin
Pro shop very attentive to bad weather conditions thru the week. Started our round 10 minutes early and pace of play was great. Weather was sunny, very little wind, and in the low 60's. Had a good round. Very satisfied.
Hello, ajmgolf. 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!
For the middle of winter, Pala Mesa is looking great!
My son and I booked a “hot deal“ through GolfNow and payed $30 each less than the normal green fee so that was a definite plus to start with. It had been raining so there wasn’t a lot of golfers and we were able to play by ourselves, which we preferred. we got around the 18 holes in about 3 1/2 hours I would say. The turf looked fantastic for the time of year. The greens were fast, but not unfair. I played the silver tea boxes which were pristine because I am an old man! Mike Weir, the Canadian lefty played two groups ahead of us, so there’s that! Anyway, we had a great time, and actually played some decent golf!
Thank you for your review, danbhays. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at Pala Mesa Resort. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
We're glad you enjoyed your 5-star experience with us. Please comment or reach out to our team in the golf shop to let us know more about your round at Pala Mesa Resort!
Not worth the money
Overall course was in rough shape
Purchased a logo ball to add to my collection and and was charged $5 bucks, normally a mute issue, Torrey Pines, a world renowned PGA course charges only $4 (gouge)
Golf carts were falling apart. for the most part no parking brake (had to angle the wheels toward the curb to ensure cart didn’t roll down the hill
Again not worth the drive out there
