Dos Lagos is like a hidden gem. Some players may get upset at the lack of a driving range, but it does not define the course, The course is Bermuda, and all fairway lies are perfect! There are a couple of bare spots in the fairway (off hand I cite #6 especially), and a few blind shots, but otherwise the course is very playable. Each nine is like a separate golf course. The front plays tight while the back is pretty open prior to #14. Lots of elevation changes to contend with and you really don't want to leave the fairway on numerous holes, but that's what makes the course challenging. It's not really long, so you can score on it. Bunkers would be OK if players would just rake them after they traipse all over the sand. Same with the occasional unfixed ball mark on the green. And lastly, but certainly not least, is the affable Ruth behind the counter. Every golf course should have front-line employees modeled after her - As the previous reviewer said. Add to the aforementioned comments that the price is right, and you have a great little tract. I hear whiners who won't play there, but when asked why, they have no answer. Try it out for yourself. Finally, a suggestion for the cart people - please make sure the carts go out with sand in the bottles. Let's encourage people to keep the course nice. Thanks.

Played 7-19. Grounds crew has brought this course back from the dried out course it was a couple of months ago. Kudos to them. Fairways are GREEN and have a feeling of lushness to them. The greens are true and rolling about 8 or 9. Tee boxes were great in spots. This true for other than par3's. Overall, course is in great shape. Course had a roving marshall and a cart girl who came around 4 or 5 times. Was only in one bunker, and it wasn't top quality (although it seemed to be well-watered and compacted). Eagle Glen is officially back in our rotation of golf courses to play. Pro shop was very accommodating, too.

The Babe is what other golf courses should aspire to be. It is well manicured for getting so much public play. A marshal has a screen on his cart indicating which groups are out of position, and he then advises them to keep pace. Most players fix their ball marks and fill their divots. Golf course personnel are friendly and accommodating. It is the best public track around that area, for sure. Very well manicured.

Played 4-5-21. Pleasantly surprised at the overall condition of the course, especially considering we haven't been getting any rain. Greens were great except the 3 or 4 which had been recently aerated. This may be a short course, but due to it's tightness, it can occasionally bite you. It's probably one of the cheaper greens fees you'll see around, and there's no driving range, but it's a fun course nonetheless. Scott, in the clubhouse, is great.

Played Monday morning. Good POP. Greens had just been aerated a few days prior and were exceptionally SLOW.Tough to put from long distance and just bumpy enough from short such that you needed to hit the ball with pace to hold the line. EVERY tee box had the markers on bare ground. Maybe they are doing that for an upcoming overseed, but I thought it was pretty low class to do that. This is a fun course and very tight in spots.

Played Monday around 1000. Parking lot was crowded, but most must have gone off earlier because of the 99* day. Typical covid-19 procedures. Warm up net (no range). However, I think they are trying to discourage using it as there were only a few balls there, and they were probably old shag balls some of the golfers had in their bags and donated after they used them to warm up. Only 2 golfers at a time allowed on practice green by #1. Course moved fairly well. Was a slow group about 3 in front of us who had a hole open the entire round. Finished in 4:10 anyway. This course plays like 2 different courses front to back, The front is tighter, and requires you to use good course management. Nice undulating greens that are surprisingly receptive considering the heat we're having. The first 3 holes on the back just grip it and rip it. Then the fun starts. From #13 to the finish, you have a series of fun/goofy holes, up and down the hills. The greens on a few of them are only missing a windmill and a clown's mouth. No flat spots, and the only straight putts you'll have are below the flag. But, that being said, that's what makes the course fun. It makes you think, occasionally takes the driver out of your hand and causes you to either love or hate it. The price is definitely right. As one of my playing partners says, "why do those guys hate this course? They can't break 90 anywhere, anyway. So to them, a golf course should be a place to play. The end." The course is in great shape comparatively speaking to every other time I've played it. I recommend it. Have a fun time.

Played Monday 6-22. Course is in great condition. Tee boxes are lush, ball sits up perfectly in the fairway. Industry has been putting plenty of water on this course. There are a few spots that are a little wetter than others, but anyone who plays here will be very happy with the conditions. Only Covid-19 restrictions limit this layout, ie, no cart girl, no water fountains, no ball washers. POP was a little slow, but the course was packed solid. The bunkers had no rakes and, as a result, there were a number of footprints to contend with. I suggest just placing your ball in a non-footprint area. They use inverted cup liners so the balls won't go deeply into the cup holes. This can sometimes result in putts popping out of the hole when they strike the liner. But, that doesn't happen too often. You won't find a public course in much better shape than The Babe is right now.

First time out in 5 weeks. Perfect day. Course was in great shape since it had been closed for the Stay-at-Home Corovid-19 order. Ten minute tee time spacing worked well as long as all groups had 4 people. There were a few twosomes out, but that's just the way it is . It's still all an experiment in course operation by the course management team - and they're doing a good job! Course plays fair if you keep it in the fairway. Lots of elevation changes make you think about club selection. Greens were surprisingly slow, but sped up as the day went on. No rakes in the bunkers which were thin but playable. No rakes due to social distancing. Also, no ball washers, no trash cans, no benches, etc. The snack bar was open and there was a cart girl. The practice green was open but limited to 6 people at a time. Check in is strict. You only check in 10 minutes prior to pay, and then off you go. Social distancing is the name of the game these days for now. All-in-all a good day. Kudos to Scott in the clubhouse for running the course under these circumstances. The State has imposed a lot of rules which may be a little over-reactive, but everybody seemed to do their part on following them (with a little flexibility and common sense).

Played the Babe today, Monday, as they are aerating later this week. Course is in great shape, and the greens are perfect. Too bad that in order to keep the greens so good they have to aerate twice a year, but that's the price you pay to have a quality public/resort course. Industry Hills has a really good course maintenance team. Course played somewhat slow as the Ike was beginning aeration today. Fortunately, Industry is using micro holes for the aeration topped with sand. Greens should be OK in a couple of weeks, but will be very playable very soon. The question is when will they be cut for the first time post aeration? Otherwise, the Babe is a tight course (tighter than the Ike), and it gets tighter the farther back you play. But it's fun and it's a fair challenge. Typical of many courses these days, people are too lazy to fix their ball marks, fill their divots or properly rake the bunker after being in it. It shows a lack of respect for the golf course and is a pet peeve of mine. And who do you think are the first to complain about their ball landing in a fairway divot or a bunker footprint? You guessed it!

Played Monday. Weather cool. Course looks about as good as I've seen it this time of year. Fairways are tight resulting in lots of roll. Ball sits up for perfect lies. Greens are very receptive and hold well. The greens are very tight , also, and as a result roll fast and true. POP was a little slow due to the MLK holiday. Good deal thanks to greenskeeper.org - $35 which includes range balls and the option to buy a sleeve of Pro V1's for another $5. It's a regular course in my groups rotation, and we are always treated well.

Played 10-14. Course is in very good shape. Lots of watering has been done following course aeration. In fact, there were many wet areas from overwatering. Course plays too short from the white tees. However, on this day, they were overseeding a lot of the tee boxes and all the markers were grouped together - so it played even shorter. Fairways are lush and the ball sits up nicely. The only detracting feature is that a lot of the bunkers are thin with lots of rocks. Fortunately, with the new rules, you can remove rocks that interfere with your ball. But, still, those rocky bunkers are not an asset. Most of the greenside bunkers were beautiful and devoid rocks. Nice coupon for $32 here on Greenskeeper. Thanks to Eagle Glen and our own John Hakim for that. Makes for a really good playing experience/deal.

Played 10-07. Greens had been aerated a couple of weeks prior. Course was in good shape overall. Greens were still a little bumpy and considerably slower than usual. Bunkers had nice quality sand except unfortunately there was only about 3/8" of sand before you encountered hard-pan. Actually at 3/8" it was a compacted moist sand that did not accommodate a normal bunker shot. A couple of tee boxes were not level, but overall, most were sufficient. Fairways yielded good lies. The rough was winter rye and any ball that landed in it sunk down to the bottom ( about 3"). Price was right as we all had the Glen Ivy Gold Card. Don't know if I would consider it a good value at the regular rate. POP was good - just under 4 hours.
