Harding at Griffith Park Golf Courses

I’ve played here many times over the years, enjoyable course and a good value. The two major issues are slow pace of play and bare spots in many fairways that should be marked as ground under repair but aren’t. Lots of deer year round and rabbits in the spring with coyotes stalking both of them. I would mention a couple OB spots that are not obvious from the tee box since they occur where Harding fairways abut the adjacent Wilson golf course. The First hole is a long downhill with poorly marked OB all along the right side which is marked as a white stripe on the cart path and comes into play near the green if your approach shot is errant and bounces right. Second hole is short par 4 with elevated green and usually plays into the wind so a half to full extra club on approach may be needed. Most better golfers will lay up to a comfortable wedge distance. Fourth hole is a dogleg left lay up for most longer hitters with a poorly marked OB if you go too far right off the tee or even too long through the right side of the fairway. The tenth hole can also be an issue with an OB if you hit it long and right. All of the other hazards are pretty obvious from the tee. You’ll probably hear some exotic animal /bird zoo sounds on the 18th tee and fairway.which abuts the LA Zoo.

I love this course, but pace of play was horrible, waited on 2 groups on par 3’s

Solid Local Muni that is fun, and wide. Easy to par, but challenging to score. I just wish it was easier to get a tee-time and pace of play was a bit quicker.

As always, enjoy my time here. Paired with friendly golfers and pace of place at 4:10 all of us walking and waiting on the group ahead on several holes. The course was soaked and overwatered in some parts. People still not doing their part in repairing ball marks on greens. Fairways were in really nice shape though some tee boxes pretty beat up. One bunker I found had good sand to play from. Not much rough to speak of; a bit longer and wet in some spots, other holes, none at all. Overall, with the prices of green fees rising and tee sheets filling up fast all over the LA area, I will always return here when able.
