Played Pala Mesa on a cool Thursday morning with Michelle and was paired with another couple Tim and Carla from the Yosemite area. I played blues and was a little over 6200 yards with 126 slope while the girls and Tim played the white/gold combo. We found out it was cart path only for the entire course which made things a little slower but I didn’t have anywhere to be so it was all good. The fairways as you would imagine without carts driving all all over it are very nice condition but if you stray the rough is a little longer because it hasn’t been cut yet. Greens are very nice with little to no ball marks even though they held shots very well, I think I only fixed 2 other ball marks besides mine. It had rained the day before and there still some water in the bunkers and some where it had dried but still a little muddy so we agreed to drop outside of bunkers. I did play a plugged lie out of one just to see if I could hit the shot and I was lucky to get it somewhere on the green. Because of cart path only our pace was 4:40 so still a little slow but ok. Course was a little narrow in some places but nothing too bad and it had a nice selection of left to right and right to left holes. The rate was 55.00 so not bad, but we had a great day and the weather warmed up nicely and it was a good day. We said our goodbye’s and went to a BBQ place not far from the course to cap off a very nice day. Recommended if in the area..

Have been playing Ala Wai most of the time because it’s close by so no need for further reviews because it’s not going to change much if any, so on to my review about the Pali Golf Course.
Even though it’s only 10 miles away it’s still a pain sometimes because there is really only one way which is across the Pali Highway. Checking in was simple our tee time was 10 am and Michelle and I teed off as a twosome. Fairways are generous much like any municipal golf course and there are many trees if you stray one way or another but for the most part it’s wide open. Not in any sand traps but they look to be ok. It is scenic with lots of views from the Ko’ Olau mountains and views of the ocean and always very cloudy with a chance of rain anytime. Wasn’t too many people at the course because we finished in under 4 hours and the conditions of the course are very good right now however the greens are always on the slow side but after a few holes you figure it out and. It’s a very solid municipal course and for 42 dollars to ride I would consider it a bargain.. Definitely recommended….
