Pacific Palms Resort

The Ike was it's regular brutal self. 6800 yards from the blue tees is an awesome test. You feel like you're playing a true big boy course when you play there. Make sure the long irons and woods are on point if you want to survive. Looking forward to coming back.

2nd time playing here.. 1st was on my bday last year (whole ‘nother story)

Yesterday, starter was kind enough to allow me to play ahead of my tee time; maybe there was a gap so he was gracious to let me into the tee box early

I thought pace of play was ok for me being a single until I got to #7.. somehow the pace slowed down drastically.. group ahead of me (4some) was taking slower than usual… so I didn’t think anything of it. By the time I got to #11.. I couldn’t bear the pace anymore so I asked group if I could skip and they were ok with it.. Come to find out.. 2 groups ahead, there was a group of 4 that was also playing with a group of 8 ahead of them. Yes that’s not an exaggeration. A group of EIGHT. They were all hanging out in the tee box just chatting away with no one ahead of them. I got on tee box @ 12:40pm, left hole #11 @ 4:42pm.

NEVER AGAIN. waste of time and green fees.

Golf course was in good shape, however, there were many spots on the fairways and rough that were wet or muddy due to the abundant rain from previous weeks. Bunkers were hit or miss with numerous bunkers having barely any sand.

The pin placements today were quite unfair with them being 4 paces from edges or atop an area where there is a bowl or hill with heavy break.

For the price, this was cheaper and more of a value than many of the courses in the Inland Empire who are charging $100+ for a weekend morning round.

Course has a nice scenic view since its on a hill. Conditions are always good here. They really keep the greens up often. Coming back as many times i can.

Greens in great shape and very fast, Bunkers very hard as we played after several days of rain.

I was upset that the very cool Tram/Gondola at the end of the front 9 was out of commission. It looked like it hadn't been used in years. I remember riding it back in the 80's when I played regularly with my dad and brother. The Tram would take us and our carts up a steep incline back to the clubhouse.

These are two of Southern California's finest courses. Good designs and great views.

Unfortunately, the conditions and maintenance are terribly kept by the management. Worse than a muni.

Industry Hills was relatively premium only 20 years ago. It went way down market during COVID, when most other golf courses were experiencing great business growth. The green fees are now one of the lowest and the conditions match that.

What a shame. Lower and lower green fees will not bring in more business.

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.

Great time playing here. Scenery was good and pace was great.

Had and 11:00 a.m. tee time on a Sunday for only 100 bucks. It was just after a rainstorm to the course was relatively empty. Until I got in front of a group, a group of hackers, the front nine took over 3 hours but ended up finishing all 18 in just under 4 and 1/2.

The course is a challenging beauty with continual changes in scenery and elevation. Despite the course being very damp, the conditions for well-maintained with true but tricky greens. A few favorites are the 2nd hole (a par 4 with water near the green and a drop of 30 to 40 yards from the back tee box), the 4th hole (you hit your drive into the sky towards blind fairway), the 6th hole (very long par 4 with a split fairway), the 15th (like the par 3 from Amen Corner at the Masters), and the par 5 18th hole (plays up to 652 yards from the tips)!

Not of course I would recommend for people just starting to play, but is a very fun and challenging time for the person looking to challenge themselves! Definitely plan on coming back another day!

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.
