Not worth it
This course was in the worst condition of any course I’ve played this year. Tee boxes are uneven with spotty grass, fairways are full of bald spots, and there were manual sprinklers running on every green.
I was very excited to hit this course, thinking I got a great deal online. Joke’s on me…if I would’ve known how messed up this course is I wouldn’t have paid half of what I did. So disappointed.
We would love to hear more about your positive experience on our course. Please contact us to share your favorite part of your experience and what we can do to earn that last star! Thanks for golfing at Pala Mesa Resort!
Tough Conditions and the carts are ridiculous
The pricing, pace of play, greens, staff and layout are great. The fairways were mostly ok on the back but need lots of TLC for the front. The greens do need some work and have several types of mixed grass but hey roll fairly true. The gps and carts are really frustrating. Mark the course so people know where to go! Fix the brake locks. Stop sending so many annoying messages.

Tale of 2 nines
They lost the front nne. Don't know if it is lack of water or the heat. The front nine has gone down hill considerably since the last time I played a couple of months ago.
And they raised the rates.
The back nine was in much better shape..
I wouldn';t mind paying the rates if the entire course was in god shape. I will not play here again until they figure it out and fix the frontt nine.

Pretty poor conditions
Course was in rough shape. A lot of bare spots and rough tees. Carts were pretty rough as well. Brakes wouldn’t lock and they had acceleration problems. The cart GPS was borderline obnoxious. The staff was very friendly. Pace was amazing, we finished in just under 4 hours.

Not associated with Pala Resort / Casino
Paid $90, was worth closer to $50. No frills, sun blasted, easier course IMO, lots of tough par 4’s, the food blows, fairways are fighting the sun, and the rough is deep fescue. Played well here none the less. Don’t pay more than $50 tho.

Expensive for the conditions
I’ve played here a few times and I’m not sure if it’s just the season but the greens were miserably bumpy and inconsistent. Too much poa annua not being maintained properly to charge $80+ for a weekend round

Good course, great staff
Nice challenging course with a good staff. Summer weather has made an impact on some of the fairways, but greens are in great shape and overall a solid run.

Nice layout, fair condition
For Pala, the course was average...have seen it a little worse and several years ago, much better. Fairways have burned out areas, moveable sprinklers running on multiple fairways, sometimes stopping the rollout of a drive when the ball runs into it. Greens were medium and generally rolled ok. ProShop was downsized even from last fall. An infusion of cash and a skilled superintendent would bring this course back into great shape in a minute. Bunkers were hard dirt/sand.

Yessssir!
This course has the best bang for the buck as always. If you can’t drive it straight out of the tee box, you’re in for one. But if you can, you’ll never go to another course with the same price range. Love it. Will continue to play here
Thank you for your review, Seanmichio. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Pala Mesa Resort. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
