On the Ike on a Friday afternoon, got around in 4.5 hrs. Not much improvement since last post, still working on transition areas around greens and tee boxes. Greens rolling okay for an PM round, a bit slow and lightly sanded. Never had a bad lie in the fairway or rough today, but there are areas that you must avoid (thin, divot damage, or swampy). Let's hope for better days ahead, cuz right now the Ike is not worth the green fee, except the layout is still very challenging.

On the Ike early on a overcast Sunday morning, $90 member rate. PoP decent at 4:20. Sorry to report this: the course is beginning to show signs of the summer doldrums which includes dying Bermuda which happens I guess when you overseed. Tee boxes and fairways are affected and it might be awhile before conditions improve. Several greens also have spreading fungi and some are not looking good at all. YIKES! I hate being the bearer of bad news, but that's what I saw today. Hopefully, it won't last too long but don't expect spring conditions here on the Ike. I'll be here again next Friday ... I'll let ya'all know how it looks then.

Played Friday July 3rd - 9:20am. first time playing this course.

1. POP was pretty bad, about 5.5 hours. I think this was due to being the holiday weekend, being a challenging course and cart path only on about 1/3 of the holes.

2. Course Layout - I liked it, I found it required a variety of shots, put some thought into what you really needed to do and visually interesting.

3. Tee boxes, mostly lush and level - no issues
4. Fairways, mostly lush, some browned out spots here and there but very playable.
5. Greens - fast and challenging to read. definitely need to say below the hole.

6 Services - decent, definitely a lack of restrooms on the course, no water stations, but the carts have 2 coolers for beverages. GPS on Cart a plus.

had a good deal of $50 to play and it was definitely worth it. Wouldn't pay the rack rate though.

Played the Ike in a IHMC tourney Sunday AM, it's a C-note for the W/E now, and that's for members ... dang! Fortunately, the course is in great shape, tee to green. Greens were medium speed and most were very good to excellent with minimal ball marks. Only minor complaints today: there were a few over-saturated areas to avoid (but only took casual water once) and there are still some rocks in the bunkers. PoP, as expected, was a bit slow at 4:45 in a shotgun format going off at 8AM.

Recommended if you don't mind paying the fee. Deals are available occasionally on GolfNow. If you want to save some $, check out it's sister course, the Babe.

Out on the Ike on a very warm Wednesday afternoon for a Guest Day shotgun event, $85 included balls, script for winners/prizes, and nice buffet dinner afterward, a real deal. PoP around 4.5 hrs. Course still green fairways, mostly full with a few thin areas which I found, as is the rough which was just cut so not very penal. Greens were in good condition, still quick, just rolling a tad slower than normal for the Ike, but holding everything. Lot's of unrepaired marks on #2 (come on, people!) but mostly near pristine, really. Was in a greenside bunker on #8, a bit thin but well raked (no footprints this time) and decent enough coverage to play from. I did see a couple of flyers from my partners, so be careful in there. Recommended if you'd like to play a Open qualifier course, but the only deal on the Ike is on Mondays. Rack rate is a bit steep, look for twilight or senior rates to save a few bucks.

After a month long layoff of golf, thought to myself "why not go to industry hills Ike course"?!
Got out here with 3 of my buds and took advantage of the $60 Mondays and must say, it's a very nice course to play yesterday. Greens were fast and challenging. Like glass if you were caught on the wrong side of the slope. Birdies were taken as a premium. Was very lucky to collect a few. Layout here is a course you wouldn't mind playing over and over again. Very narrow at times and punishing on your misses. Would definitely recommend if your thinking about it.

Played the IKE on 05/22/15. Course is in great shape right now. The fairways are lush and the greens are the best I have seen them in years. They are rolling true and smooth. I do wish they would get some quality balls for the driving range. So nice to see this course back in perfect playing conditions. Have fun.

Played the Ike on May 14 and the course was in the best shape I have ever seen it in. The fact that there was a US Open qualifier the day before probably had a lot to do with that. It was rainy that day however the fairways ran for days and the greens were like greased lightning. Overall this course is always nice and always in good shape.

This course is very challenging but is always fun to play. The fairways were in great condition. There were a lot of divots in the landing areas. Pace of play can be slow, there are a lot of people that think they should play the tips when they should be playing, well,not the tips. Greens were excellent. Not too firm not too soft. Putts rolled true. There are a lot of very undulated greens on this course. Water comes into play on a few holes. Carts have GPS, which is always nice. If you try to drive on a cart path only hole, the cart will shut itself down and you will have to back out the same way you came. I love this course , the Babe course is beautiful as well.
