Shorter Course Placement is Important and Course Knowledge Helps.

Late late afternoon green fee was more than reasonable pro Shop staff area professional and welcoming course in good shape definitely needed.You have prior knowledge to football in proper positions overall Very.

Beautiful Course

This is a very well maintained course. Greens are lush and perfectly manicured. Gorgeous scenery as well. Golf carts are the more comfortable type with sophisticated GPS. The staff is super friendly and the food is good! It’s worth a trip up there. Watch GolfNow for HotDeals. This course comes up frequently. Enjoy 👍

Starting the Week Right

We chose Pala Mesa as our first course for a week of southern California golf. The staff was super friendly. The course was in good condition with few exceptions. Although this course is close to the highway, you really don't notice it very much other than vehicle noise on a couple holes. Being used to flat lander golf in Kansas, the contours and elevation changes were a challenge but fun to deal with.

Beautiful course.

This was my first time here. One of best courses in the area. Bunkers were great. Course was in grrat shape, grrleen rolled true and were soft like i like them to be.

It is a challenging course with a few narrow fairways. An accurate tee shot will make your round. I unfortunately was not accurate today and the course punished me for it but I loved the challenge. I will for sure be back!

Much Improved!

Last I played Pala Mesa was prior to Pala Casino purchasing the course. New owners have really invested in making improvements. Looks like they added 1 or 2 wells and the course is plush. Fairways are great and greens are so much better. The course is still same layout, but over all conditions are much improved!

Course in great condition with upgrades

The course was upgraded recently and its in very good shape. Its lush and green and plays long....if you're between two tee ratings I'd suggest the shorter option. New sand in the bunkers plays well, much improved over years past. Its a unique and challenging layout and worthy of more play.

I hope others take advantage of the late afternoon special - $49 after 3:00 so it continues past July. Its great for me since my skin no longer tolerates the mid-day sun.

Did something change?

This course used to cost $50 or $60 to play, and now they want $120 for a weekend round after 1pm?? Did anything drastically change from 2 years ago to now?

Great Layout

The layout is a challenging layout. Front 9 is a little more tight where accurate tee balls are key. The back 9 is more open and friendly off the tee. The greens were in great shape and very receptive. They were probably rolling around 9-9.5 so not very fast but not slow either. This was my 5th time playing the course and this was the best shape I’ve seen it in. My only complaint is the pace of play. We teed off at 8:20 and it was nearly a 5 hour round. I would definitely recommend this course as long as you plan on a 5 hour round

Fun, challenging course

Fairways in great shape. Tee boxes could be cleaned up a bit. Greens were fast and consistent.

Good value for the money. Back 9 was great. Will definitely be coming back
