Nice course, slow play

I really enjoy the layout of Roosevelt. It has a lot of character, a good mix of challenging holes and beautiful views of the city. My biggest issue is they send out groups of 5. I even saw a group of 6. It really slows down the pace of play. It will often take 3+ hours to play 9 holes. I wish they would do groups of 4 like everywhere else.

Fantastic Course

Absolutely loved playing this course! Stunning scenery and a challenging yet still extremely fun layout. This is quite a difficulty increase from Penmar, but I still had a blast playing it. Only ball I lost was over the hill on 6 - though I blasted it up the uphill fairway so I’m unsure where it went. Fairways, greens, and tee boxes all in great condition.

Course is lovely, great challenge on an executive course

Lovely views and well maintained fairways and greens. Can’t really ask for much more here except maybe an increase in pace of play just slightly.

Great walking track

For the price and ease of getting a tee time, this is one of the better walking courses in LA. Can use all 14 clubs in the bag.

Had to breakup a fight

The pace of play on the weekend was sooooo slow we waited so long on every hole,… had a Korean family in front of us literally learning how to play on the course, the old Korean man I was playing with shouted something in Korean to the father in front of us which I didn’t understand, and the other guy and him almost got into a fistfight, it was horrible horrible… not why I play golf

People learning how to play golf should stick to the driving range. This course needs to do way better.

Plan 4 hours for 9 holes

Beautiful setting and except for poorly maintained tee boxes, the course was in reasonable condition. Unfortunately this course starts fivesomes every 10 minutes. At some tees we were third in line and waited 15-20 minutes. Ridiculous course management. If you can get over all of that, the Griffith Park setting is fantastic and the greens fees are cheap.
