Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms Resort

About this course
The Babe Zaharias Course at Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms Resort occupies rolling terrain in the City of Industry, located in the San Gabriel Valley east of Los Angeles. Designed by William F. Bell with Casey O'Callaghan and opened in 1979, the course was part of a larger resort development that transformed former industrial land into a golf destination. Bell, a prolific Southern California architect, created a layout that takes advantage of the property's natural elevation changes and canyon features, producing a course with significant terrain variation uncommon in the Los Angeles basin. The routing moves through hillside corridors with elevation shifts that create both uphill and downhill playing angles. Several holes play across or along ravines, requiring carries and approach shots to greens positioned on different levels than the fairways. The course measures over 6,600 yards from the back tees and presents a test that emphasizes course management and shot placement over pure length. Views extend across the valley to the San Gabriel Mountains when conditions allow. Industry Hills operated as a public facility and resort for decades, hosting numerous regional amateur and professional events during its peak years. The property has undergone ownership and management changes over time, and the Babe Zaharias Course represents the more challenging of the facility's two original eighteen-hole layouts. The course is named after the legendary multi-sport athlete and professional golfer Babe Didrikson Zaharias, reflecting the Southern California golf community's connection to the game's history.

Getting there
Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms Resort lies just twenty-five miles east of Los Angeles International Airport, a straightforward drive that trades the coastal basin for the rolling foothills of the San Gabriel Valley. The journey follows the I-10 corridor inland, where the urban sprawl gradually gives way to the sculpted ridgelines and eucalyptus-dotted slopes that define this corner of the City of Industry. For those arriving by private aircraft, Brackett Field in La Verne offers a discreet alternative just minutes north, while the resort itself emerges from the hillside with surprising drama - a self-contained oasis of manicured fairways and Spanish colonial architecture perched above the valley floor.
