Harding is a decent course to play…
But on the shorter side. Not very challenging for longer hits.

Playing the Harding
It was great to get back out to Griffith Park and play the Harding. It had been about 20 years. the course was in good condition and the pace of play was adequate. We started off at 6:00 a.m. and finished by 10:00. I really want to play the Wilson next time. As the day progressed the nats/bugs came out, and it became hotter. Other than that, it was great to be out...

Fast greens, bumpy off road, no
Course layout requires some attention to detail when looking for the first and subsequent tee boxes. Greens were in excellent shape and fairways well kept. Fringe and areas around greens had a lot of bumps and otherwise unkept ground in places. Minimal facilities on course even at the turn, including refreshment stand or cart, which was a disappointment. However, ample water fountains abound.

Super fun
Great course layout, not for the faint of heart, or long drivers. Targeting is super important on this one. Course was in excellent condition, greens quick, nice and smooth. Beautiful views, especially from the top of 18 looking over the whole valley. Great price for this fun and challenging course.
Played by myself, played through on a couple holes, finished in under 3 hours.
