The Ike has re-opened, and a good buddie (member) has told me that it is utterly fantastic. A few minor changes to some greens, but the same layout w/new turf and re-conditioned bunkers. Prices have increased, too. Hopefully, we can get more comments from those who've played it.

We got in one last shot at IKE before they close it for refurbishing. THEY ARE CLOSING THE COURSE FOR SIX MONTHS STARTING MONDAY, JAN. 9TH. So, won't rate cuz conditions weren't that great since they were already starting to let it die for the tear up. Greens were great. Fairways okay, but they were drying them out. It's a monster. Play from the correct tees!

I hadn't played Eisenhower for a couple of years and was looking forward to gettingback there. i heard the greens were very quick, and considering my short game is the strength of my game, I felt up to the challenge. Let me first state that I hit 11 greens in regulation, which for Industry is pretty decent. Nomally with that many greens in reg, I would be looking to shoot in the 75 area. Well, I didn't break 90!!! I 4 putt a green maybe once a year. I had THREE four putt greens and 4 three putt greens. That says it all! Despite being totally humiliated on the greens I loved it! I'm used to playing on reasonably quick greens (Coto de Caza) but these were rock hard and fast - a tough combination. Not as true as Robinson Ranch, but much faster. Can't wait to try the "Babe" and see how badly I get beat up there???

Quit your whining. IH has always been a very difficult track (even after it's been 'softened') and that should be expected when you tee it up. Yes, high hcp.er's (over 10) will grunt and groan but t... Continue »

Quit your whining. IH has always been a very difficult track (even after it's been 'softened') and that should be expected when you tee it up. Yes, high hcp.er's (over 10) will grunt and groan but these two courses are a true test of golf at an elevated level. You'll not find many other public courses in the LA area matching it's challenge, so be prepared before you come, or book your group somewhere else. And believe me, I've been humbled their many o' time ... but I always come back for more.

I'm glad the annual fundraising tournament I go to here has been moved to the Ike from the Babe. The Ike does not play as ridiculously tight as the Babe, and I believe is a more fair test of golf. Even from the white tees, this course plays long. I played with a few high 20s handicappers, and they had a frustrating day. The layout is challenging without being entirely penal, with nice elevation changes and hazards in key spots. You will find yourself with every type of sidehill / uphill lie that will require all the shots in your bag. The fairways felt a little lush, not getting much roll off the tee. The greens were very receptive, but tricky to read, and on many holes getting on the right shelf was crucial or a three-putt was a very real possibility. Bunkers and rough were in good shape. Play did back up on the short downhill second hole, where we drove up to find two groups waiting to hit. I played in tournaments on the Ike on two consecutive weekends, and the staff was courteous and helpful on both occasions. I hope to come back every year. One note: I wish the funicular that carried you from #9 to #10 would work again...I think the last time I saw it in operation was 1990. The funicular was one of the things that made golfing at Industry Hills a unique experience.

If God were to give planet Earth an enema this is where he'd stick the tube. Great shots that remain in the fairway can be unplayable. Good shots roll bad. The course has a high slope rating only because it does not reward good shot making. It's poor design and unplayable rough make this an unfair monster and one to avoid.

I played with my wife & her friends on Sunday & they were very upset with the rude treatment they got from the proshop staff. These people didn't seem to value their customers' business. I guess they are busy enough that they don't really need patrons in their golf courses. I heard that they're renovating these 2 courses, maybe they should take care of re-training their staff first to be courteous towards their customers. Overall the course is not comparable to the excellent condition of this course years ago, especially if you're charging a high $96 weekend without GPS at that.

I did not play this course...but after waking up at 6:45 A.M. trying to call for their "special on the 25th" and getting thru by 7:15 and I was told, oh, there is a tournament that day on both courses for members only. F!@# that, what a way to get below average income people to try your course. The soonest tee time was at 4:20. Gee thanks...great public relations, wouldn't play here if it was FREE. There are way too many specials to be had, to be screwed over.
