Wilson at Griffith Park Golf Courses

It was a joy to learn the Wilson course was now on Golfnow, buy joy turned to pain when the tee's were forward because of the construction underway. It would have been nice to know that prior to my booking my twosome.. as I have said before, just because the course is on Golfnow, does not make it either a nice course OR a value.. when played from the designed tee's this place is great. When dump trucks and backhoes run up and down the course its just another mess. C'mon guys, get it together.

Why would you go to Rancho Park? Because of its layout, and only because of its layout. There's no grass over there in the fairway or rough. The greens are bad at Rancho too. At Wilson, there's good grass everywhere. The greens are usually good and quick here as well. Right now, though, they are re-doing some of the tee boxes and adding a few more. But they're doing a good job, pretty quick work, so it's not a big deal. The fairway grass is kept long right now so the ball doesn't roll that much anyway, making the course still long enough (except on holes 4, & 5, for example, you can drive the greens from the Temp tees). As long as you come out and play early, you'll be fine with the POP, you'll get done in about 4.5, if you tee off before 8:30. Give it another month it'll be in great shape.

I like very much.
Because, nice to play golf.
Nere to living area.
Green is good. fareway is good.
Also facilities very good to.
I like to play every week.
Thanks

The only problem I had was, nobody mentioned that they were re doing the tee boxes. Felt somebody could of gave us a heads up.

We had a good time though it took us almost 5 hours to play and many of the tee boxes were moved up due to maintenance of them. The price we payed was good and staff very friendly. Always like the course.

It took more than I expected so that I couldn't finish the whole 18 holes. Even to beginner like me, the course was too slow. I had to wait every time I finish a hole. I wouldn't play here in the near future.

This is a terrific cource... Well maintained - long and challenging---highly recommend it!

My opinion,they should lower rate's and and have mandatory carts. Too many people walking and pace was very slow.

I booked a round at Wilson Golf Course because of the deal I came across on Golfnow.com. It sounded great. They advertised $20 for the round WITH cart. When I got to the starter, I gave them my name and they let me know that they had just punched the greens of the Wilson Course that day. Not good. They also let me know that Golfnow had made a mistake and the deal DID NOT come with a cart included. I would need to pay an additional $13 for the cart, which meant $33 instead of $20. Either way, I was mostly bummed out about the condition of the greens at Wilson. I told them they should honor the deal from Golfnow and include the cart. They wouldn't agree to that and said that this was a reoccurring problem and an error that Golfnow was responsible for. Luckily they had a single spot available for me at the Harding course, on which the greens weren't aerated. It cost me $46 dollars to play Harding with a cart, instead of the $20 plus $2.50 reservation fee from Golfnow that I had expected to pay to play Wilson. Very misleading. I don't know who was at fault. The starter blamed Golfnow for the misinformation. From now on, IF I book another round from Golfnow, I will be skeptical and always call the course starter to confirm the specifics of the Golfnow deal. On the bright side, I shot my lowest score ever at Harding that day.

This was my first time playing here, and overall I had a pretty good experience. I read some other reviews and heard that the pace of play was very bad here. We either got very lucky or tee'd off at the right time which was 730am on a Friday morning. Our group of 4 finished our round in about 4-1/2. They lay out is pretty good, only complaint I have is that there is a lot of construction be done on the course, mostly on the car paths. Be ready for some detours. I really feel they should have given us a discount for playing through this at times, "mess".

Only decent thing I can say is the greens on the Wilson course were acceptable given this course is a muni-course. The main reason I gave this course (which I grew up playing over 30 years ago) a low rating was because the people that play here are all beginners or hacks with absolutely zero golf etiquette. So in fairness this is a good track but conditions are not suitable for the advanced level golfer UNLESS you tee off before 7:00 am when the players seem to be a little more serious and quicker in pace of play.

Terrible, terrible, terrible. Never again.
Teed off 50 minutes late, waited another 40 minutes to play the 2nd hole. Food shack closed early on a 85-degree day. Cart died on the way back in. Staff was rude. Starter was trying to buy something on his phone instead of getting people moving out onto the course. Our scheduled tee time was severely delayed but somehow they managed to squeeze walk-ups in before us.
Need I say more?

Course was in decent condition, it is pretty long and the greens are challenging. The pace of play though was miserable through 12 holes, which took about 4 hours. We waited on every shot, every hole until the 13th when things picked up and we were able to finish in just over 5 hours. It was fun and perfect weather, but the pace was definitely the biggest down side.

I used to play on a weekend in this course and the pace of the play was just excruciatingly slow. So getting a very good deal from Golfnow was with the expectation that this teetime will be the same. So surprised that it was less than 5 hours and was able to do errands after.

I have always liked this course, especially after it rains and the air is clean. The course is currently undergoing cart path improvements, which caused the first hole to play as a par four, and seventeen to be shortened to about a 320 yard par four. I imagine the alterations to the course layout will change as work continues, so be advised and call first. As for conditions, I thought everything was in very good shape. Good coverage in the fairways, and lots of deep, thick rough. The tee boxes and bunkers were standard muni condition. I thought the greens were fantastic. Firm and fast and very tricky if you were putting from the wrong spot. There were some gnats to deal with, but I've experienced way worse, here. Bring bug spray if you"re sensitive to gnats. All in all. a super layout with plenty of room to hit lots of drivers.

Booked through GN at $45 to play,but when we checked in starter charged us $59
He aslo stated "if you cancel I will still charge you"
Showed him copy of GN booking and he said it was not valid ?
People who work there need to take a people skills class , there is no excuses for the sour attitudes you experience at this course
Only thing missing were the cows grazing in the fairway

Very nice course . Its long and challenging. The course has been maintained really well. Lots of asians play here . Some of them good and others who dont respect humanity :) so be prepared for that - the course itself is a treat to play on.

Surprisingly good pace of play and the course was in great shape. Griffith Park has the tendency to allow too many golfers on the course causing a very slow pace of play. Especially when its a good course to walk and many players do. Friday morning was great. Not too many players making it a great experience.

Other than the 30 minute delay of our start time, we had an enjoyable round. Greens were not that fast but there were pin placements that required putting your ball with the proper pace. Tees were average and fairways were lush. Would really like to see the Clubhouse and Restaurant updated. It felt like walking into a 70's scene.

Fairways are really bad. tee boxes are ok. greens are the best part. Fast and rolls pretty true.
