Family golf outing.

I have not been to Pala Mesa in 30 years and it did not disappoint. The course is in great shape and the greens play true. I will definitely return in the near future. We also had lunch afterwards and the food was excellent and the staff was very nice.

Excellent!!!!

The conditions of the course were fantastic. The rough is a bit long and at times hard to find balls and hit out of so hit it strstraight!. Pick your tees wisely since this is a very difficult course from the back tees.

Nice to Return

Course in good condition, morning proshop guy was excellent getting us out promptly. The afternoon crew was pre-occupied and when asked about a replay they said they didn't have one and it would cost $78 dollars to replay. The nonresident treatment is atrocious.It was nice to play the course again but you can tell its catering to an out dated resort clientele and locals, trying to keep the play down. From the blue tees there were no par 5's over 500 yards (450+). I have nice memories of this course but dont see a reason to come back at the enormous rates they charge nonresidents.

Great hidden gem

The course was in great condition, other than the bunkers being full of water from a rainstorm the day before.

It’s a very tight course so not much room to spray. Hole layouts require all of the shot shapes.

Greens rolled true.

excellent course

The greens were well maintained. Moderately challenging course layout. The roughs were not too thick making recovery to be moderately challenging.

Loved this place!

First time here and we really enjoyed the day. The course is absolutely beautiful and is a decent challenging course. We had 4 of us playing a had to let a few people go ahead of us (one two ball and another 1 ball) but that was not their fault we were playing slower. Just hate feeling people on your tail and both parties let it be known they were "right there". The greens are manicured nicely but do be aware that the grass on the sides of green is long due to the rain and you will definitely lose a few balls right before your very eyes. Hopefully that gets cut shorter as it can end up being a tad costly and frustrating to loose balls so easily. Friendly staff and good food at the restaurant. Will definitely be back!

Very nice resort course

A little out of the way from San Diego, but a worthwhile visit. After recent rains, the fairways and rough were challenging. The back nine is tough and there are no easy par 3's. Very fun course, though.

Great shape and wide open

After all the rain this course is the greenest I've seen it. There was no one in front or behind us on a Tuesday at 10am.

LOWER YOUR GREEN FEES!

Come on! No twilight rate and you’re charging premium prices for a mid level course?

The staff here is great, but no matter what condition the course is in, you’re not gonna fill your tee sheet at $120 ALL DAY.

If you lower that rate, they will play.

Beautiful, Well Maintain Course!

Hats off to Chris at the pro shop, super friendly and professional upon arrival.

The course is in OUTSTANDING condition.

The tee box, fairway and greens are above exceptions, especially after all the rains.

All of the bunkers are full on fluffy white sand.

The golf carts are some of the best around; GPS, Music Radio with many channels to choice from, etc.The snack shack host was very nice and makes a great Bloody Mary!

After the game stopped in the restaurant (aquaterra) and was greeted by a wonderful cheery waitress Izzy and than finished up the service with Ariana. If you are a golfer and reading this post, I highly recommend you get out there and experience what all golf course should be aiming for - Well done Pala Mesa!!!
