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.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, dennis1387. 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.
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.
Hello, odramen174. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at Pala Mesa Resort. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
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.
Course was in great shape for public course
Employees helpful and friendly! From the pro shop to the cart barn they were respectful and courteous.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, 57skitzy. We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time with us. Please visit again soon. Thanks for choosing Pala Mesa Resort!

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.
Hello, PTB77. Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. We're so glad that you enjoyed your round at Pala Mesa Resort. Please visit us again soon!

Hi, u960977951. 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!
Play the back 9 twice
Let me start off by saying what a nice back 9. Still needs some work, but it is a really nice layout. The front 9 is a local muni course at best. Conditions were not good. Fairway isn’t a fairway, and rough is inconsistent with grass. The rate they are charging is not even close to being in line with the course conditions. Better courses in the area to play for less money.
Could not agree more with this review! Played on Saturday and felt the exact same way. Not to mention there was a group of five playing in front of us.
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any dissatisfaction you experienced with the conditions of our front 9. We understand your concerns and will take them into consideration to improve our course. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for visiting our business.
Alright if you can get a deal
Not worth $90, if you can get a deal it’s okay. Scenery is nice, layout is good. Greens are fine, fairways aren’t great, burnt out in spots, lot of bare spots where holes overlap,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize if your experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and will use it to improve our fairways and address any areas of concern. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Thank you again.
We would love to hear more about your positive experience on our course. Please contact us to share your favorite part of your experience and what we can do to earn that last star! Thanks for golfing at Pala Mesa Resort!
Older course but with new Owners
Pala is an older course but with new owners who are just starting to do improvements to the facilities and course. Overall layout is good, with a few challenging holes, but very playable. Tee boxes, greens and sand traps all need to be replaced if they want to bring the course to top level. Pro-Shop was under renovation now but still functional, Staff were friendly and accommodating. Charging $90 (Online midweek rate) per round is a bit pricy for the overall condition of the course today, but once all improvements are completed will be a good value.
Hi, golfbum15. Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad you had enjoyed your time at Pala Mesa Resort, and pride ourselves on delivering the best experience possible.

Great Course
The course was in good condition and the greens were excellent. We teed off at 8:10 and finished by noon so pace of play way great. The course layout is great and I recommend this course to everyone
Thank you for taking the time to review us, jeffcurci4foxx. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Pala Mesa Resort thanks you!
Ok course
Wanted to play here for awhile. Course was ok at best. Definitely not worth the cost. Driving range was pretty bad. Warm up green/ chipping green was fair. I would not play here again.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We apologize for any disappointment you may have experienced during your visit with us. We appreciate your input and will take it into consideration as we work to improve our facilities.
