Pala Mesa Golf Course Review
The course was in excellent condition and well maintained. The pace of play was outstanding. One of my favored golf courses to play in northern San Diego.

Good course. But their carts are a pain. They have numerous areas of the course where carts aren’t allowed. Problem is these areas aren’t marked and you don’t find out until you’re in the area and the cart stops. These aren’t obvious areas and they’re not marked which creates a big guessing game. It’s not just around the greens. The carts won’t go within 100 yards of the greens. It’s almost random. But it really delays playing time while you back out of these areas. It’s really ridiculous.

GRUOPED W/9'S
COURSE IS WALKABLE BUT THEY CHARGE YOU TO TAKE A CART. I GOT GROUPED WITH A FEW SENIORS WHO ONLY PLAYED 9 IN A GROUP OF 3 PLAYERS. SO I WAS LEFT BEHIND 3 GROUPS OF 4 AT THE TURN. BACKED UP AND LET 2SOME BEHIND ME JOIN ME. SHE PLAYED THE SHORT HOLES OR HALF WAY ON PAR 4'S. GREENS WERE NICE, BUT NOTHING LIKE THE PHOTOS SHOWED ON THE THIS WEBSITE.

Nice course
This is course is nice. A little pricey for the size, but none the less had a great time. Staff was friendly, course was in good condition. Wish we could have seen the Bev Cart more than once. Will definitely play again.

5 Stars-From Service To Swings
Highly recommend. Greens are quick and responsive/challenging. Narrow fairways force you to grow your iron game or learn to play a safe drive. Awesome clubhouse staff!!!
Hi, goingfarr. 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.
Got gyped
I tried to alter my tee time reservation from 3 players to 2 due to illness and the app would not let me do it. Very disappointed !
Thank you for taking the time to review us, Dave6251118. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Pala Mesa Resort thanks you!
Good value for a challenging course
We played this course years ago. Always enjoy the setting despite the proximity to a freeway which makes for some noisy holes. Pace was quick, course was not full. Conditions were quite good but bunkers were inconsistent with some being very hard. The first few holes seem different than the back nine particularly as the front is quite flat and trees impinge more on the fairways. The course seems to open up after a few holes & by the turn, I I wondered if the back nine were a newer design.
Carts with GPS were included in the price which seemed very reasonable for a difficult course. The course offers much natural beauty in the surrounding countryside, colourful vegetation & birdlife. Now if I hadn’t visited so many bunkers, maybe the outcome would have been better. As others have mentioned, the carts are set to redirect you back to the path earlier than needed but worth another visit nonetheless.

Great course, great shape, silly cary restrictors.
Course in great shape, record setting heat the day we played. Only complaint is the restrictors on golf carts. On many holes the carts just shut down and you had to drive in reverse to get back in the approved "zone", On many holes, this was a 100 yard walk cart to ball and another 100 back to cart. Never seen anything like it. Will definitely play again, but be prepared to do a lot of walking with a handful of clubs.
Thank you for your review, u479649921. We will pass along your positive experience and feedback to our team at Pala Mesa Resort. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
