The pace of play on Thanksgivind Day

Finished 18 holes in 3 hours 50 minutes, starting at 12.20. I wish this kind of pace is possible anytime.

Favorite course. Also Wilson too.

The course overall is pretty well maintained for a city public course. Desent green fee. Very often you see coyotes and deers.

Solid Muni

This is not a resort course, but it is a very good muni. Lots of wide open holes and a few tight ones. Greens are average and worsen as the round progresses. We walked and that was just right.

Great potential if only

Lots of small litter on the course
Party of 6 (six!!) Korean beginners in front. Getting lessons sharing two carts and all playing 2 balls. Zero etiquette and would never be allowed in Europe.
But stunning place and great conditions.

4 hour round on Monday

I recommend this course. 4 hour round for 18 holes, 6500 yards, challenging, green grass/well irrigated, nice greens, overall good conditions. A nice deal for $80 for two with a cart.

Some rough spots - but maintenance crew was addressing them.

Had breakfast prior to the round in the clubhouse - also very good.

Friendly staff - even when we asked basic questions that have probably been asked many times in the past.

Nice time but didn't know about renovatins

I would have rated the course higher if it wern't the tee boxes being renovated on a third of the holes. It made it easier for scoring but I couldn't get a true rating.

Special Olympics Coming

Nice course, fairways dried out some due to drought. Improvements underway including new cart paths, so tees were temporary and it was dusty from construction. Still, an enjoyable round of golf and the changes will make it nicer.

Longest round of golf I've ever played

If you enjoy seven hour rounds of golf, this is the course for you.

We play Wilson and Harding quite often. However over the past couple of months Ive grown frustrated with the course and the pace of play. I understand the need for renovations to the course, but they continue to charge full price for their 18 hole courses which are constantly under construction. If you play Wilson, you will find that you are often teeing off from the fairway and the whole course has been completely shortened. They offer no discount and do not post any mentions of what the course is truly like.

We played Harding yesterday. We made a tee time several days before. It didn't seem very crowded upon arrival, however, once we got to the first tee box, there was a long line of carts that was just the beginning to our seven hour round of gf. That's right - seven hours. I've played a lot of public courses before. I've never experienced anything like this. It had nothing to do with our ability. The group I was with all shot in the 90s.

This has everything to do with course mis-management and renovation. There was no one on the course trying to speed things up, there was no one who told us that it was incredibly backed up, there wasn't any warning or knowledge of how many people were on the course.

With so many places to play in La I strongly encourage you to book somewhere else until they finish their renovations. No one should have to sit through a seven hour round. It took us about 20-25 minutes per hole, everytime.

At least the weather was nice and I had good company. I feel bad for anyone who played with strangers, that's a long time to get to know someone.

The parking lot was too far from the proshop. They would not allow carts in the parking lot. The cart path was closed for repair in too many places. It was hard to find the next hole in too many places- no directional signs.

Someone's listened...

Empty during the week, also major upgrades taking place which will help course. Cart paths should help fairways, if they ever focus on them. Greens are pretty fast and got lucky, played before greens were being punched.

Harding - Griffith Park

Overall the experience was great. Would have preferred a starter to be present to guide the groups on the 1st tee to speed up play. Other than that, a great time.

Thought I’d try again…MISTAKE!

Well, it’s been several months or so since my last visit to Griffith Park courses.
I should have listened to that little voice in my head saying…No, stay away! You’ll regret it! Don’t do it!
That ever happen to you; did you ever listen to your inner voice and was glad you did? Well, I did not listen. The result was a 3+ hour front-nine, yikes! Nough said!

If you are a 12 or so better handicap and you enjoy playing at a fair to good pace of play, STAY AWAY FROM GRIFFITH PARK GOLF COURSES!

It’s as simple as that.

P.S. start listening to your inner voice more; you’ll be glad you did.

Starter and I had issues

I played 3/16/15 at 1:24 PM I went as a single on a hot deal for $23 since I was a single it was possible they might ask me for four dollars more for the golf cart and it also stated that on my confirmation but when I got to the course I went to pay and the starter found out I was a single he charge me an additional $12 so $16total I had to pay for the cart on my confirmation and stated I only had to pay four dollars The starter told me no it's $16. He also said they didn't write even though I was on my confirmation

Horrible

Our tee time was for1:54pm not 2:45pm. That was the approximate tee off time was. So our group decided to get our money back and go to another course. The Marshall should be making sure golfers are playing and not hitting 3 tee off balls. If you want to practice, go to the driving range.

We Got Wet!

Very very slow and crowded, even though the group that was supposed to be in front of us was a no-show.

Saw some pretty rude people (and not your typical white male over aggressive types either) yelling from Tee 1 while other folks were Teeing off, and also blocking the bag drop area while talking on their cell. Neither English nor Spanish were the language choice of the day.

Rain arrived somewhat heavy at 15, as it began to get dark - so we bailed.

Watch out for the Coyote guarding the snack shack.
