Roosevelt Municipal Golf Course

Like the tight fairways and surrounding natural feel

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.

Roosevelt Golf Course is a hidden gem nestled at the base of Griffith Park’s hiking trails in Los Angeles. The course is beautifully maintained, with pristine, clean greens that provide an enjoyable playing experience for golfers of all skill levels. As you make your way through the course, you'll be treated to stunning views of the iconic Griffith Observatory and the lush greenery of the surrounding trees, adding to the serene atmosphere.

The friendly and attentive staff further enhance the experience, ensuring a welcoming and smooth visit. To top it all off, players can enjoy a refreshing cup of coffee or a cold beer both before and after their round, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing day of golf.

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.

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.
