Played 1/15 while on vacation. Course was in outstanding shape. Tournament of Champions had ended only a couple days prior so many of the grand stands were still up and provided a very nice reminder of where I was playing. The views were amazing with the island of Moloka'i clearly visible from every hole (and be aware the greens ALWAYS break towards Moloka'i). If you have chance to play this course, do it, especially if it's right after the tournament. I did get lucky as there was almost no wind on the day I played which is very uncharacteristic for this course. This is without a doubt the best course that I've played and my new favorite course.

Played this past Sunday with a 1:00pm tee time. They were backed up and we did not tee off until closer to 1:20pm. The course conditions are pretty average for a muni but the layout has some character. Round took forever because of a family foursome in front of us that just had no idea about pace of play and course etiquette. Other than that, a fun round.

Played today 2/26 @ 9:56am w/ JRalias. Course is in pretty good shape. Mostly green from tee to green. Tee boxes are mostly level and fairways are slightly thin but no bad lies. Greens have some ball marks but rolled true and slightly quick as pretty much every green runs sloped from front to back. The pace was under 5 hours but a fair amount of waiting and felt a lot longer than it was. I feel like the Long Beach courses are all about $10 overpriced for what they are but I still recommend this course.

Played today, 9:40am tee time at the ongoing special rate of $49. This is an absolute steal for this course and if you haven't played this course, I highly suggest getting out there because it's in great shape. Nothing has changed since my last review, course is fantastic from tee to green. The only issue are the bunkers which are good but not up to the same condition as the rest of the course. I really feel that they just aren't fluffy enough to call "great" but they are good, especially compared to almost anywhere else you'll play in the area. Pace was about 4hrs 45minutes today but that was really us taking our time/playing poorly. The three others I played with had all never played here and every single one loved it. I absolutely recommend and I will certainly be back soon.

Played here yesterday, 1/31/14 w/ a 9:40am tee time. This was my first time playing the course and first trip to Industry Hills and I loved the place. Course was in great shape from tee to green. Tee boxes are nice and level with a only a couple exceptions and the fairways are lush. There were divots here and there but all were filled with divot mix so it tells you something about the people playing the course. Greens were in perfect shape and were fast. My only quibble with the greens (its really me having never played here before) was that many greens showed a subtle break to them that was in actuality not there which resulted in me rolling the edges of most cups. If there was a knock on the course it would be the bunkers. I was in bunkers on far too many holes but I found them to be only average. Only one was truly hard pan but nearly all of them were damp and while you could hit under the ball to get out, you couldn't really go at it and had to have a more shallow angle of attack to avoid have the club bounce. Other than that, the course was fantastic and as sngernz has posted below, the $44/$49 weekday rate will go into April so definitely get out to Industry Hills and play this course for an awesome price. Btw, POP was a little over 4.5hrs but we could have been slightly faster if not for the threesome I was paired with.

First time playing this course and I absolutely loved it. I've played most everything in the desert and while I have heard of this course, it was never one that ppl spoke of as being a must play. While it certainly isn't among the top tier in the desert, it is a great course that I highly recommend. Golfnow $59 tee time @ 12:08pm. POP was about 4 hrs and 15 minutes. The course was in fantastic shape from tee to green. Everything was incredibly lush save for a couple tee boxes that had some divot damage and one green that had more than a few unrepaired divots. The greens were especially good rolling true all day and were fairly quick. The one sand trap I was in was thin however but that was really the only downside.

First time playing this course. Played with my dad and another father-son twosome. Had a 1:03pm tee time for the Presidio-Mission layout. The staff here was a little unorganized and didn't always explain everything that needed to be explained without being asked first. Not terrible, just not completely together. Greens were in good condition and were fairly quick. Fairways were a little thin and had some bare spots but nothing too bad and were playable. Tee boxes had some divot damage and weren't always great to look at but they were all playable as well. Sand traps fairly good although one or two were a little damp. All in all a really nice layout, especially for the $35 rate we got through the course website. POP was bout 4.75 hours but only because the group in front of us was playing slow and putting like they were playing for big money. I definitely recommend this course, especially if you can find a deal like I did.

Played Skylinks today with jralias @2:20pm for $40 w/cart. I've only played here once before with an American Golf employee for a great discount. It's a fun course with a decent layout but I avoid it because it really isn't anything special and they charge way too much money. Even the $40 I paid today was steep for the time of day. The course was in decent shape as the last reviewer stated. The fairways are thin and brown but they play perfectly fine, just aren't nice to look at. The tee boxes were mostly level with some divot damage and bare spots but it didn't affect play too much. As for the greens, they were some fairly nice and smooth areas around the outer portions but towards the center and around the cup they aren't very good. There are bare spots and lots of bumps and divots to contend with when trying to putt and more than once I had a ball kick right or left after hitting something. I was in 4 traps on the day and all but one were wet and forced you to pick the ball off the top. Pace of play was a little north of 4.5hrs but it should have been better if not for a ridiculous group in front of us. The fivesome and foursome in front of us were together and playing some sort of game among themselves but were playing horribly slow. What made it worse was the fact that they didn't seem to care that they had holes open in front of them and that they were holding everyone else up. Didn't bother to let anyone play through, taking extra putts on the green, high-fiving and standing around after teeing off and finishing out when they should be getting in the carts and driving on. One of the best quotes in reference to poor etiquette on the course I've ever heard was "No one bowls anymore." Too true and unfortunately I was reminded of this today.

Played today 10/9/13 @12:00pm. Got a great deal of $50 through their course website. The course is getting ready to begin aerating and overseeding at the end of this month and its beginning to show. The course is in decent shape but some of the fairways have some brown patches and are a little thin. The greens were firm for the most part although there was heavy rain at times today so this softened the greens. The greens rolled true for the most part and played slightly quick. The tee boxes were all pretty good although they have begun overseeding them but it did not affect play. This course is challenging and forces you to be pretty straight off the tee with pretty narrow fairways on several holes. Pace of play was just about 4 hours today although we did get backed up on hole 16. I enjoy playing this course and its even better when you get a deal as I don't think the course is worth the rack rate of $110. Even still I definitely recommend it.

I honestly am not a fan of Alondra but I've played it more than any other course because it's so close. I played yesterday 10/7/13 @ approx. 1:15pm. POP was just about 5 hours and the course is not in good shape right now as the greens are pretty torn up. There are bare spots on numerous greens to go along with the typical bumps and divots you normally have here. The green for the par3 12th is completely out of commission due to severe bare spots. There were two trucks parked around it and several groundskeepers working on it and laying sand over it. In the meantime, they have constructed an alternate "green" to the right of the hole. This "green" is simply a mowed down patch of rough/fairway(the two are one in the same) with an abundant amount of sand laid over it. No sense in putting on it just try and hit it on from the tee and then pick up your ball. There were also an unusually high number of wet and muddy areas in fairways but they are not marked as under repair. All in all, not the best experience but not really far off of what you normally get at Alondra. The course is still playable and if you really want to get out and play this will do the trick.

Played today with jralias and a single, $109 EZ Links Tee Time Special @ 11:20am. Pace of play was 4.5 hours and could have been slightly faster but there was an SCGA Tournament ahead of us. As mentioned previously, there were some bare spots in the fairways but everything else was in good shape. Happy I can cross this course off my list and it was lots of fun but not worth the rack rate in my opinion. If you can get a deal somewhere, its worth it to play the course at least once. Recommend.

Edit: I forgot to mention that some of the bunkers, mainly on the back nine, appeared to be fluffy on top but were actually wet underneath. A minor quibble but just wanted to note it. Also, as jralias noted we hit off of mats on the driving range this day but the course does usually allow you to hit off the grass.
