Cart path only
Don't understand why we had to play cart path only. For a so called resort course it was looking kind of shabby.

We take customer feedback very seriously at our course. Please reach out to our team in the golf shop and tell us what's on your mind. Thank you for playing Pala Mesa Resort.

So Slow pace couldn’t finished 18 holes Because girls tournament same day
Hello, Gilbert. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. We are glad to see you rated the course conditions and layout to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Pala Mesa Resort. We hope to see you again soon.
Very disappointed
Very disappointed. Overbooked. The course was really backed up. They were several parties starting 2-3 minutes apart after a tournament. After waiting for almost an hour to start our round, we have to wait for about 15 minutes each hole. We as many other parties, quit early because it would have taken 6 hours to complete the round while waiting for the tournament players to finish.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Challenging resort course.
This golf course has an excellent layout, unfortunately not as well maintained as it could be, greens roll pure, and tee boxes are in good shape but the fairways and rough are pretty bare. Starter was grumpy, but the rest of the staff was very nice. I would play again.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. Please know the current conditions are by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We will continue to work towards a 5-star experience and we hope to see you back!
We would love to hear more about your 4-star experience on our course. Please tell us what we can do to earn that last star, and thanks for golfing at Pala Mesa Resort!
Wouldn’t play again for the price !
Most of the course is in pretty bad shape with the exception of a few holes , particularly 10,11,18, which were okay. The back nice was in much better shape than the front, but still not great for what is charged for green fees. Conversely, the pace of play was good and the staffing was generous.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Pala Mesa Resort, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Teaser Fairways
I have recently moved jobs that requires me to commute to San Diego a couple times a week. So my route obviously takes me my this place. Looking from the Highway, the course looks incredible. Sadly that wasn’t quite the case. Once on the course. The pace of play was apparent. What should be typically a 4 hour round with the amount players on the course. Turned into a plus 5 hour round. So I’m sure one tends to find more things wrong with a course after having spent this much time on it.
On a more positive note; The people who work there are absolutely top notch!! The level of professionalism is unmatched.

Great greens
First time playing the course. A little longer and more challenging that Mt. Woodson, similar target style on some holes. The star here for me we’re the greens. Great combo of fast and firm made it very enjoyable to roll the rock here.

Greens are fantastic.
Course is a little out or sorts, but a nice layout, and challenging. Pikc the right tees, and hit it straight. The course was very dry, and the fairways were not in good shape when I played. But the greens were fantastic. True roll, and fast. It is a public course so don't expect much in regard to frills, there are none. You get what you pay for.

Saturday’s for the Boys
Front nine is open, back nine is narrow. Greens were fast and holes were fun with a slope of 124. I’d for sure play again
Kyal, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Pala Mesa Resort.

Do not waste time here.
I came to this course last year and had a great experience on a very nice and pure course. I came again today and it started in the pro shop, it took me 30 minutes to check in for my tee time. Then, on the course there was constant waiting, sometimes multiple groups on a tee box and I didn’t see a marshal or any staff the whole time. The greens on the course were very nice, but I never had a decent lie in the fairway, there is more bumps ans dirt then there is grass. I will never play again and do not recommend to anyone.

Bad Experience
We played with a threesome on 3/28/21 in the morning. it started off trying to pay for the round, it took 20 minutes because their computers are down. we went to the driving range to warm up and it’s off mats; really poor set up. the pace of play was obnoxious. we were waiting 5-10 minutes before we hit every shot. it was almost unplayable. it took us 4h 30min to play 15 holes where we then decided to go in because it was too bad. the conditions of the course were so bad. every single spot was patchy and we would hit tee shots right down the middle of the fairway, get up to our ball, and be hitting off of straight dirt. worst conditions on any course i’ve played in a bit. the only kind of nice part were the greens; they rolled pretty well. i would never play this course again for anything more than $20. poor.
