All around great experience

First time at the course, drove down from south OC and was worth the trip. Staff was friendly, course was in great condition, the carts were the brand new and high tech, other players on the course were friendly and courteous. Apparently they just put a bunch of money into the course with another big upgrade on the way!

Absolute Must

I played the course today and it was a great challenge. Although I didn’t score well, I excepted the challenge and had fun.

Great Value.

I hadn’t played here in a couple years and was amazed by the improvements that have been made. The course was in great shape from tee box to green, the staff was exceedingly friendly, and $53 was a great value for the experience. We would gladly play here again.

Great course

Course was in great shape the day I played. Greens were quick but rolled true. Whoever set the pins must of thought they were setting them for Sunday at the Masters. The greens are protected by lots of bunkers. The tee boxes and fairways were rally nice. This was my first time playing the course. The back nine was a little tricky. Lots of blind shots. I hit a lot of decent shots that ended up in bad positions.

Pala Mesa Worth the Drive

Pala Mesa Resort Golf Course required an hour and a quarter drive; however, the time spent was most certainly worth the effort. Course conditions were found to be wonderful, in great level of care. Were that I had better skill, the experience of play would have been even better 😊.

Decent course but the snack bar was closed at 3pm on a Sunday. Cart girl left at 2. For 120.00 someone should’ve been there to get something at the turn. Course was fun and greens were nice. Just WAY overpriced.

Course earned the green fees

Great course in great condition. Tough on the first round but once you’ve played it will be a place you can score low.

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.
