Played Glen Ivy on Thur., 2/25, 10:15 start time. Overall, fun layout and conditions above good and a great value considering I used the coupon here from GK.
Greens: very good shape, smooth, rolling medium-fast, and low amount of ball marks
T boxes: were in excellent shape firm and flat, nicely covered, just a tad long.
Fairways: well covered, dormant grass. So long since I played over seeded fairways I have probably forgot how.
Sand traps: very thin, not bad for the fairway traps, but way too thin for green side, fair.
Layout: Fun I usually tear up here for some reason, easier than slope suggest and that does not include playing red instead of green. (See comment below)

EDIT*
( sammy3 informed me that I made an error, that red stakes with green tips are to be played as lost with a 1 stroke penalty, not free as my group thought and which makes more sense. Now I need to try to collect on a skin that went against me. LOL)

One change they did here, is make most out of bound shots environmental hazards and a free drop. I understand they're probably trying to speed up play, but for me I'll leave the ball lost and treat as a red stake hazard, one stroke penalty.

Played Thursday 10/23, mid morning start time. I consider Los Seranos to be my second home course behind San Dimas. Customer service is very good, great bunch of guys and gals.
Greens, Fairways, T's and Bunkers, I rated 8/10.
Rough is sparse, not very penal, 5/10.
Carts are in very good shape with GPS.
Layout is very challenging, if you are not at least moderately long off the T. I recommend the North course, if that is the case.
Pace of play is good, except a snag on the 3rd hole.

Played early afternoon, Monday 10/19, superb course conditions! 9/10, with the exception of the 2nd green that had punch marks and a bit of sand on top.
It has been awhile, since I have played out of proper rough and it showed, about 2", and at least a few yards from the fairways, of thick dense rough, that I found hard to get my club on the ball, 9/10.
fairways were well covered and full, non repaired divots were the only negative, I take a short walk to replace my divots, hope you do too, 9/10.
Greens were in excellent shape and on the quick side, except #2, 9/10.
Bunkers had plenty of clean sand, 9/10.
T's were great, 9/10.
My cart was weak, parking break didn't work properly (annoying) and do not have GPS. The second cart, after 16 holes, worked fine. Boulders mark the yardage on the fairways which, works OK.
Pace of play was excellent, until the 10th hole, our threesome went around a very slow foursome on 11 and 12, pace was great again after that. After the round, I asked if we
could go back out and complete 11-12, because we had skipped.
He hesitated! Wow, this would have been a first to be denied to finish.
I explained better, that we went around a slow foursome. He gave the OK and narrowly escaped a very poor customer service review.

Played 4/6, twilight round. Greens were fully healed and quick. T's, bunkers and fairways are in about as good as condition as this course gets. Pleasant surprise was the pace for are GK match, it has been slower at times in the morning, when I have played here, pace was under 4 hours. 1RudeDog and I had the place to ourselves, almost. See GK Cup East in the forum for details and results. Highly recommend Los Serranos North.

Played late morning last Thur. 3/12. Crossed another IE course off my list when I played Crosscreek, leaving only Pechanga, yet left to play.
Our threesome was divided on how much we enjoyed the course, two hated it, but I liked it. One thing we all agreed on were the conditions, nearly immaculate. Seriously, resort like conditions, flat lush T's (some divot damage, from irons, even on par fours). Fairways lush, nearly perfect. Rough, very consistent length of about 3 inches, lush, thick, sticky and very penal. Greens, the best I have played on in awhile, smooth and fast like glass, minimum damage from ball marks. Chipping was interesting, because the greens are raised, more so than any other course I can think of in the IE, combine that with the rough and the speed of the greens and you have conditions that pro's probably deal with. The only knock on the greens is they did not seem to hold well.
Part of the difficulty of this course was not knowing where you are going, with my Skycaddie and a yardage book I think we did OK, but some holes definitely can use some tips, GPS like you find on the Industry Hills course's, would be a big help on this course.
This is not a kiddy course, I think this course is best suited for better than average golfers and not for newbies, I can definitely see how this course can get real slow on the weekends, but our pace was just over 4 hours.
GK has a coupon, $40 with a re-play, that's a great deal, you will need the first round just to get to know the course.

Played Thursday, 3/5, late morning T time. Wow! Quite a bit difference, the experience I had, compared to the last 2 reviews. First off, we booked our round at $25 a piece for our threesome and I usually balk at paying much more than that.
Hit a few balls off the grass, on the range, definitely good for a warm up. Practice green is usually in good shape, they have a small chipping area with a sand bunker just to the right of the first T. Overall the practice area is good, I would definitely recommend it to those who are from the area, for the rest of us it suffices for a warm up.
I usually play this course a couple of times a month, it's in our rotation as a budget/econo course, usually played late mornings during the week or twilight on Sundays, we have 3 golfers in the family, sometimes playing several times a week, so for the purpose of playing as much as we possibly can, this course is much needed and suits our purpose very well, lest we go broke.
The starter was friendly and allowed us to go out early and usually does if the course is not completely packed. The layout of the course is a classic design, not much imagination, but the many bunkers protecting the greens and the trees lining the fairways, hold my attention and test my game.
The condition of the course is in great shape right now. Greens are always the most important to me and they were in very good condition as they usually are, often I find them in better condition, than more expensive IE courses, typically I rate them in the 6-7 range, rolling at medium-fast speed, layout of the greens are classic and a bit boring, with the hills being a huge factor in how they break.
I was surprised to see, how very well the condition of the bunkers were in, typically I rate them in poor to fair condition, sometimes with standing water in them from aimless water sprinklers and almost always firm and thin, today was much different, they were in the best condition I have ever seen them in, in the years that I have played here, about inch and a half of nicely groomed, fresh, fluffy sand.
Fairways are well covered, but thin and firm indicative of normal winter conditions.
Rough is the worst part of the course, a bit longer than the fairways, a bit inconsistent and with plenty of varmint holes. Speaking of varmint holes, around the greens is for the most part good condition to chip or run up on, but on the back of one hole, I narrowly averted spraining my ankle, my cat like reflexes saved me when I stuck my foot in one of these holes and I quickly shifted my weight to my well planted foot. These holes definitely need attention, I am certain this review would be different had I sprained my ankle.
I feel a little silly writing such a long review on a course, that is not in the top ten of IE courses even for me, but the rating is very low and out of line currently. If you are within a half hour drive time of this course, can deal with the traffic noise from the nearby freeway and are on a budget, than I strongly recommend this course.

Played for the first time here last Tue. and Wed., and play I did, we had an overnight stay and all you can play for two days, I played about 73 holes, I would say I broke it in a little.
Overall, conditions were in great shape, I played all 3 nines multiple times, Oaks and Creek is a flat classic design, the Stonehouse is a little more interesting with a few severe downhill shots and blind shots, but with a great finishing hole. I would definitely return again, for there stay and play, which made for a great value, but for the regular rack, there are much better layouts, I would rather play.
The rooms have been updated and were much nicer, than the last time I here a few years ago.
Bloody Mary's were excellent.

Played 2/10, late afternoon T time. What a difference since the last time we played and a different day, pace of play for us, was under 4 hours, this is with my wife who shoots over 100, but is quick and my 80 year old pops. No excuse for this course ever to take longer than 4 and a half hours, except for rude, inconsiderate and slow as hell players.
Course conditions, layout and staff were great as usual.
Please allow the marshals to push along these very rude players.

Played 2/9, afternoon T time. If you have a new driver, this is the course that I recommend to break it in, long and plenty of room off the T's.
I rated T boxes, Sand Traps and Greens at almost immaculate condition. Fairways were well covered, but no where near lush, like you see at over seeded resort type courses. Rough had grown out quite a bit, since last review.
Layout is a classic design, not much thought from the T, just slam it as far down the fairway as possible.
There were two tourneys going on both courses, that slowed pace to 5 hours, seriously cut into the enjoyment of the course.

Played 2/5. Great pace, very good layout and great greens. Pace was our own, no one in front and only a single and a double played through, love that. Greens were in great shape, with the exception of the front of the 8th, the rest rolled smooth and true at med-fast speed. Love the layout, requires a lot of different looks off the T, with different clubs and shapes, water in front of a few greens.

Played Wed. the 2/4. Course is in excellent condition and fast becoming one of my favorites to play, possibly passing Soboba for 2nd favorite course behind Oak Quarry. Pace was excellent, no one in front or behind, until the 16th hole, just what I needed, I was really getting frustrated with pace, at some of the courses I have been playing.

Played Thursday morning. This is my home course, I play here more than any other course, course conditions year round are very good, staff is always friendly and a great bunch of guys, but for the first time today I had to rate very low enjoyment and worth the money. Why? 5.5 freaking hours long! On a Thursday! No thanks, not anymore on Thur. nor on Fri or the weekends. I will try maybe on Mon-Wed. Sorry, San Dimas Canyon, but you sucked today. At the end of my round today, on the GPS unit, it recorded pace of play at 5h 9min, it was actually longer than that, but what killed me was, it said we were 16 min ahead of pace!
Conditions were good, but bored after 9 holes of this bull.
