I played blues and was a little over 6200 yards with 126 slope while the girls and Tim played the white/gold combo. Played Pala Mesa on a cool Thursday morning with Michelle and was paired with another couple Tim and Carla from the Yosemite area. Recommended at the rate I paid, especially seeing it got me home in time to watch the end of the Waste Management and all of the Super Bowl. The Shark GPS in the carts reminded me of the Seinfeld episode when his manager keeps warning him of all these little details to prevent him from 'freaking out,' but then she drives him crazy with all her warnings. (It was a fairway bunker, so maybe the greenside bunkers are better.) Tee boxes had decent coverage but many are lumpy. I was only in one bunker and it was thin and wet. Rough was a little patchier but mostly good coverage, and not too deep.

Definitely longer than I would expect, but not to the point of being penal. (The 8th green was the worst I saw of this.) Fairways have mostly good coverage but it seemed they weren't mowed today. They are very patchy looking but it doesn't really affect putts except on a few holes when the patchiness equates to thin spots. Greens are slick, fast, and medium firmness. Total POP three and a half hours.Ĭonditions are pretty good. Back nine as a foursome was obviously a bit slower, but not bad.

Then there was a threesome on the 10th tee who invited me to join them. He said those fantastic words of 'You can go off now by yourself if you want.' Weirdly, the front nine was mostly empty and even taking my time, I finished the front in 80 minutes. Checked in, rolled a few putts, and then talked to the starter a few minutes before 10:00. Played here today with a 10:20 'Deal' time for $65 after 20% promo code savings.
