Hit and Miss
Staff was as friendly as they come. The course was in very good shape. Problem: there were sprinklers in the fairway on just about every hole. I had to hit through sprinklers and wet fairways. The pace was slow. We were waiting on the tee boxes from 5 to 10 minutes on just about every hole starting from number hole 4.
its great but
The course was in good shape. the greens roll great. pace of play was OK We did have to wait on the tee from time to time.
The carts are the issue. They get disabled certain areas. The course is not marked to tell you where.They need to rope it off or something. The overhead display is loaded with adds ect. everyt time you go to look at the yardage the screens goes to something else.. Its useless. you should be able sto turn the darn thing off. It would be nice if the flag sticks had reflectors so you could use your range finder.

Love resort courses
Front nine is a standard decent nine with a few fun holes...but the back nine is Awesome! Greens are fantastic.
Not fun
Play this course if you want a 6 hour round. There is no Marshall on the course, we paid for 18, but after 3 hours we left after 9

Fun day at Pala Mesa
First off- golf has gotten expensive and crowded so finding a value tee time is my first priority. Rounds of golf for $70 aren’t in my budget so getting on Pala Mesa for $37 was a plus.
Pros:
good price
Greens were very good. True roll and fast.
Staff was friendly and helpful
Good driving range
Very good warm up putting green.
Cons:
Tee boxes were sparse and torn up.
Fairways had lots of bare or very thin spots .
GPS on the carts put us in snail mode way too often without warning. No signage to warn you of impending snail mode which slowed down the round.
Overall good day and good value.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Pala Mesa Resort!
Nice Course
Worth the drive to the Pala Resort. The cafe food was mediocre and the restaurant didn't open until 11:00 am. The course is in good shape considering the heat this time of year.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Pala Mesa Resort.
Cart messages
Good round, but the constant messages on the GPS screen about raking bunkers and fixing ball marks are really annoying. A couple of reminders would really be enough.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. 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.
ok track
I paid 37 w/ cart via golfnow. For that $, even though the course was in ok shape it's worth half hr to hr drive to play. The teebox and fairways have patches of no grass but most areas were playable. Greens were decent, very soft sometimes too soft. Pretty fast in certain downhill putts. It has become a typical muni condition course, not the resort course I thought and played many years ago.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. Please know the current conditions are by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards a 5-star experience and we hope to see you back!
Rude starter/players assistant
Your older starter was rude on the first tee and rude at the turn. Our pace of play was TEN minutes ahead of pace and this guy had the nerve to tell us to speed up. 10 minutes ahead of pace as a foursome at the turn. Then we caught the groups in front of us, while the groups behind us proceeded to hit into us because the starter told them we were slow.
Not returning back to this course, it’s clear he has been doing this for years and I doubt I’m the first to bring it up. Poor reflection on management not handling this issue unfortunately. I won’t be returning to this course unless I have to

Course is in good condition. Pace of play was slow.
Always a fun and challenging course to play. Unexpectedly slow play this round. Had to skip a couple holes due to the twosome playing in front of me. Otherwise a good round.
