Played here on Saturday 8/10. Booked through Golfnow for $36 and figured, with all the recent good reviews, might as well give it a shot. Tee time was set for 11:24 and as we checked it, we were told we were playing by ourselves (2-some).

We were a bit early so we hit the range to find 1/2 grass and 1/2 mats. Now usually I go straight to the grass but my buddy and I walk over there and find that the "grass" range is more like long, uncut/unmowed grass. It was like practicing from the rough. So we actually chose to go to the mats, which were wet and left my clubhead dirty after each shot.

Anyways, we are told that there is a shortage of carts and that they would let us out as soon as the cart comes in. When we finally get to the first tee, the starter/pro shop guy runs over to us and adds a 3-some who also has to wait for carts. They finally get their cart literally as we are teeing off, (behind another 5-some I might add).

Anyways, I was pretty disappointed with the course overall. Maybe my expectations were pretty high but I wasn't expecting country club status. I was expecting typical LA city/county muni conditions but this place didn't even meet those expectations.

Most tee boxes were pretty chewed up and unlevel. Fairways were decent, some dry patches here and there. Like others have mentioned, there are many many bunkers being worked on so it's just plain dirt. Greens might have been the best but that's not saying much. They were very slow with a lot of little bumps and pitch marks.

It ended up being about a 5 hour round which isn't bad for a LA muni on a Saturday. Front 9 definitely felt a lot slower than the back.

Anyways, I will NOT be returning here unless there is some major improvement or perhaps once ALL the renovations are complete and GKers give the thumbs up, i MIGHT re-consider.

Played here as a 4-some on Sunday 8/4. Tee time was 3:08pm for $36 incl cart. Not too bad. Course is it pretty good shape. Fairways are nice, rough is not too thick. Was only in 1 bunker on the back 9 and sand was soft. I'd say, most of the greens were in fair condition. It seemed to be mostly the fault of other golfers not fixing their divots. I fixed about 3-4 divots on almost every green.

Pace of play was not bad, finished in about 4.5 hours. Definitely would play here again. Just hope people fix their own divots!

I just played Babe course yesterday on Mega Monday and it was very very challenging. I played the Ike course on Mega Monday early July and the course conditions were not as great as I expected after reading reviews here and there. The experience and layout were both great but I wanted to give the condition of the fairway/greens at Industry Hills another chance. IH totally redeemed itself. The Babe Course was in great condition, minus the construction on 3-4 of the holes on the back 9. Fairways were good, greens were perfect, and luckily I didn't get a chance to hit out of the bunker yesterday. The course itself was probably one of the most challenging I have played to date, especially since I wasn't hitting anything straight on the front 9. Still a great experience and I definately want to take another shot at Babe in the future.
