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.

Poor Maintenance

Fairways full of old divots. Greens very bumpy with ball marks everywhere. Tee boxes were redone several years back and they are now under repair again? Don't even think about hitting out of the sand traps. At this point they are just traps.

Good spot but needs some upkeep

The course is at a great location with great views and challenging layouts. I imagine the course had become a lot more crowded after covid when I first played there. The T boxes and greens are therefore in a lot worse shape than before. The manager also tried his best to bring up the pace of play, but it was just too crowded. Need some upkeep and reduce the number of tee times.

Course staff not very friendly

I got a 4:30 tee time and I don't know if I missed somewhere on the website where it says that the carts rentals stop at 3:00 pm.

Also, the groups timing are too close, you have to wait in most of the holes for a while.
