Pala Mesa Review

Very beautiful area. They had just seeded so was golf path only. People in group ahead were slow, so pace of play was off.

Pala Mesa Golf Resort

Had not been here for 4 or 5 years as the course seem to be getting in bad shape, and the rooms were run down and needed work.

We were pleasantly surprised as the golf course was in great shape, and all the rooms have all been re-done and looked like new.

Normally Great But Not Today Due to Course Maintenance

Pala Mesa is normally is very good shape with slick fast greens and well maintained fairways and tees. Tecent punch of greens and overseeding made this course very difficult to play and enjoy. Wish Golf Now would have made us aware. Especially since it was cart paths only. I expect that the course will return to very playable shape within the next couple of weeks but in the meantime beware!

Big Improvement

This course has improved substantially from what it used to be. The management seems committed to making this the most desirable course in the area.

Superb course

The well-maintained fairway and green helped me enjoy the beauty of the natural and artificial combinations. Once the overseeding is done, it would be a perfect GC in San Diego area.

Seniors at Pala

Was a beautiful morning for golf... Until we got to 1st tee and found out it was cart path only!!! We were a senior threesome all in our mid-70's !! GolfNow didn't mention cart path only. We found out from the starter. The course itself was in good shape, bunkers playable, and pace of play was steady. The reason we get carts is so we don't have to walk so much!!! One of our threesome only made it to the 12th hole because he had knee replacement last year. It was a chore fir us to finish. Then we got to snackbar fir our usual Hotdogs & beverages, only to find a sign that said "be back soon". If we had known before-hand it was cart path only, we would have made another decision. Thank you for letting me vent for our group.

Worth the Money

The price was cheap enough to combat the lack of condition due to seeding which was expected. The tee boxes still need to be leveled out the require you to hit off a hill. Overall potential for true beauty.

Not a top 10 San Diego course by any means

Ok course great layout. Pala Casino purchased the course a couple years back and while some aspects are nicer its just not an inviting welcoming place like it used to be. It seems like they don't want people paying to golf there and I'm not sure why

The has a nice layout. But on this day the course had over seeded and greens were punched and sanded, and cart path only. Golfnow informed me on the day that I played! I didn’t see my email until after I was done playing. Other than that we had a good time and will return.
