Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms Resort - Zaharias Course

This is a great and nuanced layout. But it has become a total dog track. Uneven splotchy tee boxes, dead fairways with no grass, overgrown grass around the green providing uneven bounces. Used to be great now overpriced and just not fun. Drive to Palm.

My round was on 1/12/24. Greens looked great and were running fast. Course was still in winter-ish conditions. I’m a fan of this course and The Ike.

Poor attitudes from starter to marshal. For $89 for a poor shape golf course. Be thankful people are showing up..

Took 5.5 hrs to play weekday…no marshals to be seen🤦‍♂️

Checked in, guy at register ok, nothing special but nice enough to allow a ride along when they normally don't allow it.

Guy at the range felt he needed to tell me he was getting low on change, which isn't my problem and I let him know that he could ask the shop for more change. Cart guy was whatever and might be better off cutting lawn if he can't guide people to their cart and or first tee.

Marshall stopped by twice; once to see why we had 3 carts (see above where it's not normal) he was understanding about it- the second Marshall stopped to see why pace was slow and we said to ask the group in front of us or whoever as we were continually waiting.

Overall, staff made you feel unwelcome and we will not rush back- seems like it would be easier to be nice to customers than it is to be lame - get a new job if you hate your job:)

I’ve played this course before and the conditions and pace of play were great, not this time. We waited about 15 minutes at every hole and we finally quit on the 15th hole. Plus the conditions were not like before, lots of rodent holes and fairways were dry at some holes. Plus the fees were the highest I’ve ever paid 95.00 bucks. Not worth it for me. I hope things get back to normal beacause I really liked this course.

The Babe needs a lot of work from tee to green. Once upon a time when Industry Hills was hosting the LPGA Kia tournament both the Ike and Babe was flawless. Ever since Covid, they increased greens fees and decreased course maintenance...it was once a jewel of a course but now just another place to play if all else fails. But this is becoming a norm for a lot of local courses. To get premium golf experiences, you have to pay $125 plus or drive out to Palm Springs/Phoenix/Vegas/Escondido.
