On my list of favorite courses
My first time playing here. The course isn't perfect, but I was happy with course conditions. Fairway were green, no dead spots. Very few under repair area. Pace of play was good. I will play again. On my list of favorite courses for tee times.

Meh
The good news:
Friendly people and the GPS works well, with free audio if that’s your thing.
The bad news:
The course is in mediocre (at best) shape
The cart USB’s are all broken
The greens are VERY patchy.
It wasn’t my bag. Again, at least the staff is nice.

Round of mine
Other than almost smoking my playing partner with one of my shots and playing horrible, the course was in great shape!!!
Thanks so much for the review. Your feedback is valued and we look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Pala Mesa Resort.
Improved fariways
Fariways much improved looks like course is getting additional water all around.
Course sill needs to import sand from any local beach, otherwise rakes are available to smooth out the hard muddy sand/dirt..

Not a bad course to play.
First time playing here. Overall it was a good experience. Pace of play was extremely fast. 3 person and we finished less than 4 hrs. The group in front of us was playing pretty fast and the group behind us was moving 1-2 strokes behind us. Some fairways and green area Course need some work on the front 9. A lot of area was damaged and being repair. Some sand traps are soft and some are not. But overall good experience!

Rough rough
I've played Pala Mesa off and on for over 30 years. First time I've seen the rough this high. Almost lost the ball several times if off the fairway. Green weren't as fast as I'm use to on this course, but still rolled very well. Play was somewhat slow because we were a foresome and had a 2-some in back of us we let go ahead. Saw more 2-somes out there and it's hard to let them go through. Still a fun course that tests your golfing ability. They seemed to have raised the price since the beginning of Covid. Only played because of the $25 off because Roy McElroy and golfnow. $57 is a little high for this course. We didn't come for a while because they didn't allow carts. Now they don't allow you to drive in the fairway on a lot of holes. What happened to 90 degree rule?
