Pala Mesa Resort

Great conditions, receptive greens, nice uniform rough, overall pretty darn awesome.

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

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!

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.

It's not the longest but the rough is there and when it's damp, you'll definitely notice it. Which adds to the h

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.

pace of play great,under 4 hours,general layout and maintenance very good, value good,Kelow

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.🍻
