With a w/e member rate of $82 and non-member rate of $135 course conditions did not live up to expectations. Many scrubby/patchy areas in or just off the fairway that have yet to fill in. Some areas severely overwatered and some areas that are completely dried out -inconsistent conditions around greens. Fun and challenging layout - but simply needs work on upkeep to justify premium rates. Service was well attended and friendly with plenty of presence - just wish I could say that about the gounds work.

Greens are still terrible!! I don't understand why the greens have not recovered from the last aeration. They are slow and extremely bumpy! I have not seen any improvement in the last month on these greens and would not anticipate any improvement in the near future!!

Green2T - Sorry for the misinformation. The person that said this was trying to convey info about why fairways were brown, he must have given me his opinion and not accurate info. Thanks for clarification. You and your people do a great job on both courses to keep them in great condition.

I want to reply to Bogey1Fogey38 comment about water restrictions from the city. This is inaccurate information. We use reclaimed water from the city and there is plenty available. As far as the fairway aeration goes, the process is complete. The fairways are healing nicely, they just need some hot weather to heal more quickly. The reason for the thin areas in the fairway are because we eliminated the ryegrass from the winter overseeding. This process is necessary in order to create a healthier evironment for the bermudagrass. I know this information because I am the Golf Course Superintendent at Industry Hills.

Played The Ike on the afternoon of Friday 25th July. Knew the fairways had been aerated so was expecting them to be rough. However was not prepared for how rough and slow the greens turned out to be. Even allowing for us playing at twilight they were very, very disappointing.
As usual the pace of play was hideous and the Marshalls did not seem to be remotely interested in speeding them up. Far too many inexperienced golfers playing from the tips. Love both these courses but poor greens and slow play means I'd hesitate to go back soon.
At least they finally opened the bar downstairs.

Yes, all the fairways have now been aerated, lots of plugs and dried mud. We played at 9 AM, lift-clean- and place. Greens rolled nice, med-fast. Bunkers have nice sand, but were wet from watering, on... Continue »

Yes, all the fairways have now been aerated, lots of plugs and dried mud. We played at 9 AM, lift-clean- and place. Greens rolled nice, med-fast. Bunkers have nice sand, but were wet from watering, on one I got into someone did not rake their footstep as they got out and I landed in a large pocket. One of the greenskeepers told us that the city is restricting their water usage, so look for some browning of the fairways. Should be sometime before the fairways heal. Don't know about the BABE.

Update: just heard that they will begin fairway aeration today and it should be completed by July 23rd.

Simply stated, still is the finest golf challenge in the LA area bar none. The course is tip-top shape, you feel like your on a private course: shuttle to the pro-shop, top notch dining and amenities, fairways fantastic, practice area, spa, landscaping, water in your cooler ... you get my point. It's such a memorable experience I ponied up and joined their men's club ... fun group and they run a tight ship. Only drawback for the average Joe is the price but, hey, you can't take it with you:)

Played on Tues 6/10 had an 8:20 AM tee time, we went out at 8, they said we had to finish by 11:30 because of a large tournament with a shotgun start. We finished in 3hr28min. The renovations to the clubhouse area were impressive, nice stone work on the walkways and walls. No one in front of us or behind us, course was in awesome conditions. Everything is lush and green, fairways rolled nice, some holes had standing water in spots but did not hamper playing conditions, the greens were freshly mowed and rolled and played to about a 10 on the stimp. Bunkers were nice sand and not difficult to play out of. We kept ball in play which helped with the pace, also we hit when ready and did not stand around watching each other hit his ball. Correct cart etiquette speeds up play.
