Cool location, but frustrating course.

Pace of play is pretty slow because it's back to back to back 5somes and walking only. Fine if you plan for it since it's a nice walking course. What's the most frustrating though is when they're redoing the tee boxes they don't update the yardage markers. There aren't any course graphics on the playing cards either so it's difficult to map your game accurately one the holes where you can't see the flag.

Very very slow pace of play

I think most reviews on here are the same. Very slow pace of play. They allow 5 people per group. Not the course’s fault but there are players that have NO business playing on any course because of how bad they are. I witnessed the group in front of us having 3 players that took roughly 4-5 tee shots every hole. Shot out of bounds or just completely missing the ball entirely. I think if they putted the whole way they would have finished faster. It is only 9 holes but it took over 4 hours to finish. Unbelievable.

New t-boxes

This course is the same course as always but has new tea boxes virtually on every hole it shortens the course which makes it a little more playable for my short-hitting butt.

Fun but slow

Love this course. It’s the right amount of challenges and the course is well maintained for being a public course. Pace of slow is extremely slow. But that should be a given when there are usually 5 to a group and the tee times are spaced out by 5 minutes. Also, there was a group of 8 people in front of us. They were supposed to have played 4 and 4 but in the middle of the round, they began to just combine into one big group.

Too slow

Fun 9 hole course, but 3 hours + is not reasonable. 2 of 3 times here it was over 3 hours for 9 holes.

Tees moved up.

Of course is fixing the tee boxes which moves all of the tea shops closer to the greens. Made most of the shots easier but of course still can be a bear. I enjoy the scores because it's 2 hours of a grind and there are opportunities for birdies the fairways were well groomed and beautiful to look at. However, the greens were slow. So you have to hit the balls a lot harder than you think to get them to the hole.

Friday evening. 4-5 hours playing 9.

Loved this little course in the hills of Griffith park. Tight fairways, fairly challenging. But they play groups of 5 and everyone waits to try and drive every green, absolute snail pace. 4-5 hours to play 9 holes is ridiculous, I’ll just go play 18…
