Wayyyy too pricey

This is a muni course cosplaying as an expensive course. Nothing special. Save your money. $40-50 green fee would be more appropriate for this course.

Too noisy!

Course was okay but too close to expressway. Traffic was very noisy. Would not play here again for this reason.

Nice track.

I have played this course occasionally when traveling. Booked on Hot Deals. Course was in excellent shape considering all the recent rain. Staff and pace of play was great. Would definately play again even at regular rate.

Last day of the trip

We played 4 courses in 4 days, and far and away, Pala Mesa was in the best condition of all the courses. With daily rains during the previous week, we weren't very hopeful of the course being in good condition. To our surprise, considering all the rain we had, it was in VERY GOOD shape. Tee boxes, most fairways and greens were all super playable. Only three holes were CPO. Every employee we spoke with was super helpful and upbeat. Pro shop, snack shack, restaurant and course maintenance folks were all very professional and friendly. I would definitely come play Pala Mesa again!

Up and Coming

My buddy played this course a few years back, but was impressed by the upgrades under the new ownership.

Considering all the rain the last few weeks, conditions were outstanding. Greens were awesome. This was our fourth round in four days and the only one that wasn't cart path only. Truly a bonus.

The guy in the pro shop (I apologize for forgetting his name) was super friendly and helpful. We had the good fortune of playing on a Monday morning, so pace of play couldn't have been better. We were under time constraints, but we still able to hang around for lunch. (The food was excellent.)

Definitely a candidate for my next trip to the Northern San Diego area.

Country club conditions. The course is in incredible shape. The greens were perfect. Bunkers were great. Very challenging track. $120 Is steep, but the Course conditions are worth it wish I could play at that cost more.🍻

Fantastic course great staff

First of all the staff was fantastic super friendly accommodating, gave a lot of information about the course. Shout out to Chris in the pro shop. Super nice dude.

Course was in great condition, even though we had 2 feet of rain over the last three days the grains were slower than normal but rolled great. Some of the holes are pretty narrow so controlling your shots of the tee is crucial. Greens very receptive and bunkers ok due to the rain we have had.

Overall great course, can’t wait to get back and play when the greens are fast and furious.

This course was worth the money!

It is overall a beautiful course! The narrow layout makes the round interesting and challenging. Would recommend!

Greatness!!!!

From the friendliness of the pro shop to the Starter, to the cart return, and the restaurant, this establishment was top notch. The course was in great condition. The sand traps had just the right amount of sand (or so I heard). Putting was true and the fairways were plush. You actually had a chance at every shot. This is a must visit course any time we are in the area.

Great Getaway!!!!

The course was in great shape, I love the lay out, green, fairways and bunkers were in great shape. The only issue was being paired with to beginners, I realized they need to pair people up for pace of play but they should probably ask for handicaps when doing so. Otherwise a great time was had.

Late Tee Time Surprise

We decided play golf last minute and reserved the 1:40 tee time thinking that we will be playing only 9 holes. When we got there around 1pm, we were able to start golf right away. Fortunately, we played whole 18 holes. What a good deal we had. The course is decent and the weather was perfect at Escondido. We will definitely revisit this course in the future.
