Fun course but....

I really enjoyed the course but I have never seen so many high handicappers and short hitters playing from the TIPS, almost 7000 yards. Needless to say it made for a very long round. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition and the staff was very pleasant.

Would definitely return to play but it would have to be very early in the morning.

Less than 4 hours of perfection at Wilson!

I'm now praying for high 90 degree weather again to take advantage of the Hot Deals at Griffith Park. Played here on Friday afternoon, already showing up assuming that my 2:25 tee time would be delayed by crowds and mentally prepared for the traditional 5 hour round here. Instead, I'm sent right to the tee by an awesomely friendly starter, and get out at 2pm on a wide-open track.
Been staying away from this old favorite because of all the construction, but the new cart paths are done and this place is in outstanding shape. Call ahead and make sure there's no other greens maintenance and sure to have a perfect round. Surprisingly green and lush in most areas, excellent greens. Good fairway roll. Not overwatered.

Wilson LA city course

Facilities are old, need to be updated. Course in good condition Greens are excellent but that people have to repair their dibits.In all it's a good value for the money The pace of play is a slightly slow but it is a city course.

Great course but expect slow play

Great course, currently in great condition due to the Special Olympic golf events held here recently. Neat fairways and quick greens. However, the pace of play was incredibly slow. 5+ hour round. Just don't expect anything less than 5 hours and you'll have a great time haha.

Very slow place

Greens and fairways are nice . Staff friendly. Very sloooow pace of play. Took long time to check in for tee time. Would like pace of play to get faster and would probably play again. Beautiful mountains. Coyotes were seen on different holes of the golf course. Greens rolled true to the break you were seeing. The food and beverage selection was minimal. You had time at the turn to sit down and have a full meal which I think is crazy to have that slow of play

Pace of Play

This course was solid at best, not a bad place to play but one thing stood out. How in the world should it take five and a half hours to play 18 holes as a single on a Wednesday afternoon? That is insane. I cannot imagine Ill be back.

Beautiful Course

What a gem. Since I am not an LA resident and don't have a resident card, this was the first time I've actually gotten a tee time here thanks to online booking through your service. This place is one of the most scenic gold courses in all of the LA Area. Wild life everywhere, with beautiful urban forest. The redwoods are struggling the drought is a bummer. Great facilities, great history here, staff was great, friendly and accommodating. Food was good. Bar is great. Curse was in great condition. And the weather was just incredible. Had a lot of fun.

Why the marshal kept telling us to play faster when we were stuck behind a tournament group I thought was kind of weird. Especially since the tournament group had no business playing from the black tees that slowed down play for everyone. We waited on every tee for at least 5, and sometimes 10 minutes, as well as on the fairways playing behind this 24-28 person tournament group. Even playing behind a tournament, the pace of play was still not that bad.

Overall though, had a great day on the golf course.

Reputation

The pace of play is notorious by locals--many avoid the course for this reason. The practice facilities need tending and updating. The location and layout is great, though close to freeway.

tee's forward due to const

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.

Walked

There's good grass here!

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.

Had a good time

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.

Very Slow 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.
