Played today, Sunday, November 8, about 7:20 am. Great pace of play, 3:45, although we were two holes ahead of the group behind us the entire round so not everyone had the same result. Nothing open right now in terms of amenities, but I am informed that they are preparing to redo the clubhouse, etc., which will result in the first hole being a par 3.

Played today, Sunday, November 8, about 7:20 am. Great pace of play, 3:45, although we were two holes ahead of the group behind us the entire round so not everyone had the same result. Nothing open right now in terms of amenities, but I am informed that they are preparing to redo the clubhouse, etc., which will result in the first hole being a par 3. Right now, though, the course is really nice even if there was no place to get something to drink.

There is little rough, and the fairways had some bare areas, but overall the course was nice. Great rollout on drives because the fairways were winter tight. The greens were outstanding. Smooth and quick, they were as nice as I have seen them in the last couple of years. It looked like they had done a verticut but the greens were running fast and true. No excuses.

Good time.

Played 11/7/26 7:30 am POP 4 hrs. Course was in over all great shape. Fairways had full coverage and green. Ball sat great. On the soggy side so there was very little roll out. Rough was very difficult. Only around 2" plus, but heavy and lush. The ball would often settle a little which made for difficult extraction. Greens were in very good shape. Receptive.

Rough was very difficult. Only around 2" plus, but heavy and lush. The ball would often settle a little which made for difficult extraction. Greens were in very good shape. Receptive. Ran around medium pace. A little on the bumpy side with many ball wobbles and wonders. Some looked like they still hadn't fully healed from aeration. Was not in any traps, but playing partners all said sand was in good shape
The only real week spot was the woolliness of the tee box's. Which I found surprising for a Sat. If you didn't tamp the the grass behind your ball, it was like hitting out of light rough with a tee. Had lunch after and it was very good. Saw a sign that are serving Prime Rib on Wed. nights. Beautiful course with beautiful scenery. Easy recommend.

Played Pala Mesa on 11/4. Three weeks after aeration, and you would not have known. Greens are in fantastic shape. Fairways and rough are plush, with a few spots having growth problems (but those are rare). Sand is plentiful and very nice.

Many unlevel tee boxes are my only complaint, and that is a very small complaint.

Highly recommended!

played yesterday, wednesday, nov 4. 9am tee time, POP right at 4hrs, $39 to walk.

Course is trying its best to get back into shape after losing their well water for the fairways. They are still in pretty rough shape but are definitely improving. Lots of GUR, still, and probably should continue to play winter rules all over the course. Even the rough is patchy with ... » More

played yesterday, wednesday, nov 4. 9am tee time, POP right at 4hrs, $39 to walk.

Course is trying its best to get back into shape after losing their well water for the fairways. They are still in pretty rough shape but are definitely improving. Lots of GUR, still, and probably should continue to play winter rules all over the course. Even the rough is patchy with lots of gopher/squirrel holes and tons of roots, not worth snapping a club or breaking your wrist, just give yourself a good lie and move on.

white tees were good for the most part. Need leveling, but had good coverage.

I didn't find a bunker, but they looked just fine.

Greens were healing nicely from being aerated about 4-5 weeks ago. Very soft and lush. They mowed them in the morning, but not very tight, at all. They were still very shaggy and slow but were acceptable except number 4 green has some serious damage in the front.

Customer service just fine, no complaints. No bev cart nor marshal, but not a big deal.

I really like the layout, especially the back nine. Super neat holes, lots of trees and character. If they get this course in better shape, I'd be playing there quite a bit. I bet in another 3-5 weeks it will be a lot better. Good value and I recommend if you're not looking to get "wowed" by any pristine condition.

Play day 11/04/26, start: 10:20 and finished at 2:04.
Check in was nice and easy with a helpful staff.
Getting there took me through the winding road from the south- nice but it seemed longer.
No bev cart that I can remember.
The locals said the course doesn’t aerate or it seems they haven’t seen it done in years. That was actually a helpful tip and sure enough,... » More

The locals said the course doesn’t aerate or it seems they haven’t seen it done in years. That was actually a helpful tip and sure enough, the greens were soft a half inch on top but firm underneath so the ball isn’t holding much on approaches but it does ok on pitches and chips.
The Greens were nice and smooth but grainy. You can (almost) read some influence in addition to slope. Not too many ball marks though there’s some serious undulation- stay below the hole, as one of the local casually mentioned.
Tee boxes were okay not chewed up, it’s ok and it’s level.
The Fairways were nice and cut low. The #10 had issues with the water irrigation on the left side. A couple of their fairways were different/new to me like it’s low on the left and then about a four foot raise on the right. The higher side fairway is the smoother side and the lower seems to be meant for rough (just a guess) Oh and it was rough, spotty with some barren areas which was too bad. Anyway it’s mostly a tight with the tree line in both sides.
The Roughs were not any issue at all- they were about an inch or so.
I was in one of the Bunkers and it wasn’t good. It was mixed sand and dried up clay like so I didn’t know what to expect. The other bunkers looks better though. By the way a couple of them bunkers are not visible until you get close to it.

I really liked the course and I think that the course could be so much more with a little more TLC. I’ll be back for sure.
