Poor cart maintenance

Read numerous reviews on carts breakdown on the course. Thought it might be a rare occurrence but after the battery on one of our carts died on hole #3 and the second cart battery going on hole #6 I realized that Pala Mesa has a serious problem. They said that Club Car can’t deliver a new fleet for one year but they plan to replace some battery banks in the near term. They were prompt getting us new carts and we made the. Full 18 holes in 5+ hours.. regardless the course was in decent condition. The greens were tough to put from above the hole but in good shape. No beverage cart but a good halfway house at the turn . The closing holes were very pretty. Lots of tight holes small greens and well placed bunkers.

Good but slow

The course is fairly nice and the staff is friendly. The only bummer is that there was a youth tourney with 72 players on the course the day I played. Needless to say, it was super slow.

Pin Placement issue

I liked this course. Interesting layout, on a fine piece of property. Pro shop, starter, and snack shack staff were all excellent. Conditions were good, and greens rolled nicely, at about 9.5. They can't go much quicker, due to slope. My only issue was the ridiculous pin set up, especially on the back nine. EVERY single one was on a slope, tucked behind a bunker, and/or 8 feet from greens edge. This affected pace of play on the back nine. PLEASE have your PGA Pro ' enlighten' the super on correct pin placement. Still shot 76, but hard to watch playing partners 3 putt almost every green.
