Always a good time

Fun executive course with beautiful views of the observatory and downtown located in Griffith Park. Parking is usually OK, you’ll eventually find something. No range but they have putting greens. Selection of cocktails and beers and snacks. The greens are well maintained, though you’ll find some potholes in some of the fairways. Some don’t have etiquette to fill their divots from the tee, but that’s likely due to newer players coming here. No impossible sand trap positions. My main issue with this course is the pace of play. They run groups of 5, so it can be a bit slow and there is always a bottleneck on the 7. Otherwise a fun, beautiful course for a good price. Push carts only. Def one of my favorite exec courses if you wanna fun 9 hole that usually will have some times available if you book a couple days in advance.

Never Again

Nowhere to park. Missed my time even though I arrived 30 mins early. Worst golf parking lot in LA!

Griffith Views

This course is great to work on your short game and improve your handicap. Just wait a few days after they aerate the greens. Sand and holes everywhere.

Not a good day

It was pretty horrible. Worthy of a refund.

Every hole was short by 15 - 30 yards due to aeration. Would've been nice to have this information beforehand.

Great course in my backyard.

The only problem with this course is the pace of play generally. There’s always a back up at Hole 5. But, it’s usually worth the weight, as it’s such a great course for brushing up on skills and staying active.

Bring balls.

It can be a tight course with some blind hits so bring extra balls to keep the pace of play moving. I got put with 4 other guys so a 5 some and we finished in just over 2 hours. Very fun holes. Greens were great. Perfect course for a good 9.

Small but nice course

This course is fun to play. However, old Korean staff with deep frown face is terrible.
