Pala Mesa Resort

Play this course if you want a 6 hour round. There is no Marshall on the course, we paid for 18, but after 3 hours we left after 9

Challenging but fair. I love to play this course when I can. you have to play it!!

First off- golf has gotten expensive and crowded so finding a value tee time is my first priority. Rounds of golf for $70 aren’t in my budget so getting on Pala Mesa for $37 was a plus.

Pros:

good price

Greens were very good. True roll and fast.

Staff was friendly and helpful

Good driving range

Very good warm up putting green.

Cons:

Tee boxes were sparse and torn up.

Fairways had lots of bare or very thin spots .

GPS on the carts put us in snail mode way too often without warning. No signage to warn you of impending snail mode which slowed down the round.

Overall good day and good value.

Worth the drive to the Pala Resort. The cafe food was mediocre and the restaurant didn't open until 11:00 am. The course is in good shape considering the heat this time of year.

Good round, but the constant messages on the GPS screen about raking bunkers and fixing ball marks are really annoying. A couple of reminders would really be enough.

I paid 37 w/ cart via golfnow. For that $, even though the course was in ok shape it's worth half hr to hr drive to play. The teebox and fairways have patches of no grass but most areas were playable. Greens were decent, very soft sometimes too soft. Pretty fast in certain downhill putts. It has become a typical muni condition course, not the resort course I thought and played many years ago.

Your older starter was rude on the first tee and rude at the turn. Our pace of play was TEN minutes ahead of pace and this guy had the nerve to tell us to speed up. 10 minutes ahead of pace as a foursome at the turn. Then we caught the groups in front of us, while the groups behind us proceeded to hit into us because the starter told them we were slow.

Not returning back to this course, it’s clear he has been doing this for years and I doubt I’m the first to bring it up. Poor reflection on management not handling this issue unfortunately. I won’t be returning to this course unless I have to

Always a fun and challenging course to play. Unexpectedly slow play this round. Had to skip a couple holes due to the twosome playing in front of me. Otherwise a good round.

Greens are in much better shape than many other course this time of year

1st time that I and my brother-in-law and friend played this course it was a very nice course we had 2nd tee time so of course it played fast for us Greens nice fairways good shape pretty forgiving stopped at snack bar on the way to 10th tee unfortunately very busy and only one person working should have pre-made food, could not order any food Other than that highly recommend.

My cart crapped out just before the 10th green. I called the phone number listed on the course card. The person said they would let some know right away.

25 minutes later no one had still come to replace my cart. The people I was playing with had to move on. I was holding up the entire course. No marshal, no one came to assist me. When I called the number again they finally told me they were the main resort number and there was no direct number to the pro shop or starter booth. They left messages but no one came to bring me another cart. Finally after 45 minutes I gave up. Grabbed my clubs and walked of the course. I was within view of the pro shop and no one helped. Anyone that askes me I will tell them never to play there!!

The course is in pretty good shape. A few of the fairways could use a little more water, otherwise a nice course.

Great fast paced round with four of us friends. We let one group of 2 play through but other than that we’re not pressed by other groups. We finished in about 4 hours. Course is challenging but very fun. Greens were in good shape; soft landings for approach shots but surprisingly fast. We definitely hope to play there again! And a shout out to my carnales! Great time with you guys!

Is a very nice course to play and the staff is very friendly l really recommend this course
