Out in the area for my anniversary, played 5/25.. I'm glad I did, flied solo, first one out & a foursome behind me and it only took me 2 1/2 hours!!! After the 1st tee, I never saw them again..

On to the course Tee boxes lush, no real damage, a few holes unlevel, Fairways nice shape; with all the rain and morning dew, little soggy but not terrible. Beware of the rough, if its not sitting pretty you will have problems. The traps were fairly fluffy, but the highlights had to be the greens. Fast, firm and rolled true.

I read the earlier post so I was a bit apprehensive, but the staff has been doing a good job. I was disappointed that there were no yardage books, luckily I had my sky caddy or I would have no clue how to play some of the holes.. Overall a good time!

The course is in good shape. The rough does not appear to be tough to hit out of but it is. There are not to many driver holes out here. You need to have clear shots into these well protected green... Continue »

The course is in good shape. The rough does not appear to be tough to hit out of but it is. There are not to many driver holes out here. You need to have clear shots into these well protected greens. DO NOTget careless when driving your cart on some holes! There are very steep drop offs that are close to the cart path.

Played 3/20, and they improved the course condition much better than a year ago and since my last visit the end of last year. Greens, Fairways and tee box very manicure (except South Hole #2 green still have some patch work). Repairing North Hole #6 left green side bunker. Very helpful golf shop, starter and great snack bar staff.
Only bad experiience was the club house restaurant dinner service - UN EXCEPTABLE!!!! - bad service, not enough waiteress and bar tenders and very very slow service. Avoid this restaurant during the dinner time when you stay overnight to play at Pala Mesa.

A punishing test of sanity from the black tees. Greens were off the chart today, Couldnt lag a putt unless it was a scuffed ball.

There is NO Gps on the carts as the original reveiew stated.

Some online scorecards(Golfwits) have the nines reversed.

Narrow fairways, OB and trees everywhere.

Be careful of white stakes which are sometimes within 10 yds of certain greens..If you are long you are gone. Try to stay below the hole on every putt if you can, if you are putting downhill .....PRAY!

Bring lots of balls if you are playing from the tips

This coarse is in good condition but is a little pricey for what you get

In Response to Scratch's post - If the ownership did not want to fork out the money to keep Kevin, do you really think they are forking out the money to keep the course in top notch condition? Wake up. Maintenance budgets are decreasing while costs of operating are going up. Not everything is under the superintendents control.

golfnow had a $35 tee-time at 11am on XMas eve, so I made the drive up the 76. I hadn't played the course since the fire, and it's pretty amazing to see how the course survived.

All in all, the course was in pretty decent shape for late December. There were some muddy spots, but the fairways were in good shape. Tee boxes need some work, as it's pretty hard to find a decent place to hit from. Greens are pretty bumpy and slow, but again, it's late December. Pace of play was a also a bit slow. The course has some narrow spots and that causes some backups. There were no rangers on the course at all, but I did see the bev cart once.

If you can find a coupon or a cheap tee time, this is definitely worth sub $50.

The pictures you may have seen of this course are a few years old. At one time this was one of the finest courses in so cal. A couple years ago our head greenskeeper (Kevin) went to Aviara because the new owners would not pay him properly. This course has gone straight downhill ever since. In the 20 plus years I have played here I have never seen it in such average condition with so many bad areas. I recently dropped my membership because of the new Greenskeeper. Do everyone a favor and call the management and tell them what you think. Maybe we'll get a new greenskeeper and the course will once again become a great course.

Played 9/22. Very Disappointed. Personally like the course design and looks of the course. but the course condition was not good,bad and ugly - greens were bumpy, especially South side 9 holes were terrible. Many greens had a large bare spots and look very ugly. Fairways condition was thin. Expected better condition for semi-resort standard and for paying mucho $$$ to play. Come on Pala Mesa, Wake Up!
