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.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, ERST. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Pala Mesa Resort, and we hope to see you again in the future.
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.
The course has relaxing nature feel and views
The course is maintained well, may vary during different seasons. Not cheap unless you are open for discounted days/times. It is now one of my favorite courses to play.

Mark the course please
It’s very irritating that you have to guess where the course does not want you to drive the carts. There are numerous places that the carts will suddenly stop because you have drive into a forbidden zone. How about simply marking the course so that the pace of play isn’t affected by people ha if to back carts out of these areas?. And the constant ads and warnings about blind spots or hills or whatever. It’s like the course thinks that every player is three years old or drunk. Have a little confidence in people that they can negotiate the course without all the warnings and sudden mysterious out of bounds popping up all the time.
Thank you for your review, ksbarnard57. We will pass along your experience and feedback to our team at Pala Mesa Resort. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Pala Mesa Golf
Enjoyed the golf course. I wish it was in better shape. A great layout
Hello, 7818laketahoe. Thank you for visiting us at Pala Mesa Resort. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Nice course
The only negative I had for this course was the GOS system on the carts. They wouldn’t let you on most of the fairways without the cart shutting down. Wouldn’t be a big problem except there are no signs marking the restricted fairway areas. We spent a lot of time backing up off the fairways
Thank you for taking the time to review us, lwsnider. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Pala Mesa Resort thanks you!

Hi, u314160578192. 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.
Not so sure
The back 9 is much better aesthetically than the front 9. It’s also a more interesting challenge. Still if you’re in the mood to play golf, this is a reasonable place to play.

Plan on a long round
First and last time playing this course. Facility and hotel have seen better days. Course was a good shape with little to no rough. Traps were hard pack or wet sand. Greens ran medium and fairly smooth. Pace of play was painfully slow. No marshal that we saw although I commented to the pro shop and they said a marshal was on the course. Beverage cart only on weekends. Save your money and play one of the better courses in the area.

Course conditions
Pala Mesa was in great shape.
Fairways were green, rough was medium cut and greens were smooth.
Needed a marshal, as group in front of us was almost a hole behind group in front of them.
Had to wait on every hole.
Used snack bar after round for Hotdogs, chips, & drink special. Had a good day.
