Not in shape

I’m a big fan of this course. Unfortunately most of the tee boxes were low grade. The greens were decent but patchy. Fairways degraded as it turned into rough.

Miserably slow, course in poor condition

We have played here several times in the last couple of year. I have never seen the course in this bad of condition. Also there were 4 groups on several holes, Not only on par 5, but par 4 as well. Only 3 groups on par 3. No marshall. I will not be coming back.

WASNT used to seeing beaten up greens like this. Made for some weird bounces while putting. Some tee boxes were also dirt.

Conditions

The front 9 was not good at all. Fairways had very little grass. It may be because of drought conditions, but basically there was very little attention paid to the front 9. The back 9 was quite a bit better. much more grass in the fairways and the greens were smoother and better taken care of. I will not be coming back here in the near future

I want to like it

I like Pala Mesa Golf Course because I have many fond memories over the years. The last few times I have played there the condition of the course was poor. The fairways were dry, many places not having grass. The greens were beat up. Divot marks. Dead patches.. I want the course to be in better condition, which is why I am providing this feedback. I want to play there but unless there is a dramatic change in the condition of the course, I will be playing elsewhere.

Greens could use some love

This place is the best deal around North County. The fairways are a bit weathered and the greens are slow and look like there are several species of grass growing, but who cares? The course is in decent shape and any round of golf is better than not golfing!

3.5 hour round!

Great pace of play and back nine was wide open for us. Greens need a bit of work and fairways are patchy but manageable with the foot wedge. Great staff and decent refreshment pricing.

Worth the $$

Great value and fast pace which surprised me. Conditions mediocre on fairway and average to good greens. It's strange that although I thoroughly enjoyed my round here, I'm hesitant to return because of the golf carts. There are no cart signs yet I was forced to go in reverse on nearly every hole. It's basically cart path only which was extremely annoying. Governor kicks in going down the smallest of hills. My friends and I were losing our minds by the end of our round.

Great course - even better for the price!

This is a well-taken care of course and one of the best options for the money in North County. Especially nice for us beginners with wide fairways and not too many hazards.

What happened?

Greens were nice a couple months ago, now slow and bumpy, looks like another type of grass growing into greens. Fairways have always been marginal. Too bad. I have golfed here for almost 30 years, this could be a nice course, but seems to be going downhill while prices since Covid have skyrocketed.
