Best Muni in LA City
1/24/23 Some of the Wilson Course Tee Boxes after the 5th hole are under repair (roped off) not sure when they'll get around to opening those back up so beware. And if you're going to ride a cart be prepared to share w/ someone, with Covid being "over" they don't do single riders anymore.

Not worth the price
They charge for price 18 holes knowing that you can only play 9 or 10 holes maximum. Course is not maintained at all, there are trash all over on fairways.

Wilson
Wilson is a terrific layout. If it were private and had private club money to keep fairways, tee boxes, sand traps, and greens in Riviera condition it would be elite. Despite being relatively slow on flat putts the greens are difficult because of extreme slopes, and the fact that ball marks get repaired about once every 500 shots. You can’t beat the value. $36 with a cart. The course needs a Marshall as badly as any course you’ll ever play but does not. Golfers jump back and forth between Wilson and Harding haphazardly, people who hit the ball less than 150 yards off the tee frequently play the Blue tees, and dozens who should play Red play the whites.
