Having a blast, observing all the social distancing and mask rules. Photo submitted by u0000063300819 on 07/08/2020
Def not worth the high green fee…
Conditions are horrible. GPS is not included with no yardage markers on the course. Very slow play, horrible fairway and tee box conditions. Definitely not worth the 120$ geeen fee. Avoid

Not Worth It
Fast round because the course was empty. The course was empty because it's in the middle of no where in the desert heat priced at over $100 a round with muni conditions.

Pala Mesa
Challenging course, not a lot of bail out right or left. Loved the pace of play. For that alone, we will play again! The salmon tacos in the restaurant are really good!

AVOID
Whereas the back nine is fine, the front nine is in TERRIBLE shape. Every fairway on the front has LARGE areas where the grass is completely gone and the greens aren't much better.
We apologize for the condition of the front nine. We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and will make sure to address the issues you mentioned. Thank you for your feedback.
Great Day !
A great day of golf, lots of improvements going on. Look forward to playing here again. Restaurant has great food. The staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
Thanks so much for the great review, 549silky. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Pala Mesa Resort.
Challenging, Tight Course.
Course was in good condition and greens rolled fairly true. Keep the ball in the fairway to avoid awkward second shots. Challenging course due to narrow fairways.
Thanks so much for the great review, hopj545. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing Pala Mesa Resort.
All positive reviews are fake
When you check in, if you give them a 5 star review they give you the carts with the GPS for free.
If you see a 5 star review with no other review, that’s why.
It’s a $30-45 course to play with bunkers in terrible conditions.
We appreciate your feedback and we apologize if you feel that the conditions of our bunkers were not up to your expectations. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Short course Challenge
This course didn't play long, but has a very fun layout. The Fairways and greens were spotty but I did enjoy my round.
Hi, aapone. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Pala Mesa Resort.
Not worth it
Staff is nice, but the course is just trash. Fungus and hard ground. Greens are awful. It’s not the worst course I’ve ever played but it’s at most a 40-50 round, not 120. No wonder there was no one else playing.
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your visit. We take your comments seriously and will use them to improve our course conditions for future players. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Golf review
Range was horrible. Golf course condition was just ok. No Marshall to kee play moving. Got behind a group that was slower than molasses in January.Course was definitely not worth the price I paid.

Price point is WAY off!
Pala is a decent course and, fun to play, but with the recent rate hikes, it’s not worth the prime time rate. If you’re going to choose this course, definitely opt for the afternoon rate.
Hopefully the new ownership will work quickly to get the greens issues worked out and, put some actual sand in the bunkers.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our business. We appreciate your feedback. We will take your comments into consideration as we work to improve and address any greens and bunker issues. Thank you again for your review.
Cow Pasture
In what could be a really great golf course, they are over priced for the condition the course is in. The greens, every put went through a series of bumps and turns. The fairways were patchy at best. The price they charge is the worst money I’ve spent on the golf course that I can remember.

Fun Course!
Had a great time at this course with my friends. Had absolutely nobody in front or behind us so got to take our time and enjoy the course. Course conditions were great besides the greens, but not the worst. Overall great experience will definitely come back and play again.

Great course
Excellent conditions. I played with a golf now deal, definitely worth 80, not sure I would pay 150 for it. Some challenging holes from the tips requiring some creative shots. Not an overly punishing course. Greens held well, could use a little help.
