unable to access booking number

Luckily I had a photo of booking, but not detail that I had already paid $6.15 of the $41 fee. Pro shop said their computer was not working and he couldn't verify that amount pre-paid. He settled for $6 paid and charged me $35 at course.

Why use Golf Now?

In case you didn’t know, the only thing Golf Now is good for is booking a time. There’s really no savings. Any course will gladly accommodate you at their set rate by phone or in person. Not only that, if you make a mistake using Golf Now, it’s the course that finds solutions, not the App. From now on, I’ll take my business to the course I wish to play, forget Golf Now. With that, Pala Mesa is and always has been exceptional to its customers! I’d like to give a shout-out to the following individuals, whom you’ll agree are top-notch; Jason, Trevor, Jared, Niko, and the starter whom I didn’t get his name. Please come and see for yourself what it is to be be treated #1! Course is in excellent shape! Do it now!!!

Well Maintained and Challenging Course

Pace of Play was great! Under 4 hours and was a 3some. Got paired up with 2 other gentlemen that were regulars there. Tee boxes were great, fairways in really good condition, bunkers in good conditions, greens on the slower side about an 8-9, but if you saw a break then they did it. Abnormal amount of females present at course, which was nice to see. Great course layout and definitely coming back for more.

Always a great course

Really like this course. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. The women running the concession stand is great plus the food is good and fairly priced. I get one of the first tee times mid-week and pace of play is ideal 2Hr 45min walking. If you get a 10-noon tee time expect a 4 hr round. Course is well maintained, Sand traps (which there are a lot of) are 70% well maintained. About 30% need more sand. I also like the starter, he has a personally.

Gps

Gps on carts too sensitive.

Many times cart disabled when we were still away from green. I think it slows down play.

Pala Mesa

Good course. But their carts are a pain. They have numerous areas of the course where carts aren’t allowed. Problem is these areas aren’t marked and you don’t find out until you’re in the area and the cart stops. These aren’t obvious areas and they’re not marked which creates a big guessing game. It’s not just around the greens. The carts won’t go within 100 yards of the greens. It’s almost random. But it really delays playing time while you back out of these areas. It’s really ridiculous.
