What People Are Saying About Griffith Park Golf Courses
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Two public courses, two nine-holers, four putting greens, two pitching and chipping greens, a practice bunker and a 50-tee, double-deck, lit driving range make this L.A.'s golf heaven. The courses are popular (read: crowded) but well-maintained, and the top-notch staff aims to please. The Harding course is the easier of the two, although the slim fairways and small greens may have you feeling otherwise, especially on the 11th hole, with its deceiving dogleg and plentiful trees. –

Best golfing value in LA
by wankervon
Both Wilson and Harding offer great golfing value . The best times to play these courses are early mornings during the week as they are very crowded and play is very slow later in the days. I have teed off at 5:45 during the week and have finished in under 3.5 hours, so an early morning golfer has a big time advantage. An afternoon round can easily last over 5.5 hours. The conditions are inconsistent, sometimes well maintained while other times you might think you're on a goat track. They are beautiful courses . Wilson was designed by George Thomas, who also designed Riviera and LACC north.
- Pros: Beautiful old trees, no surrounding houses, beautiful views, very inexpensive for golf
- Cons: very slow play at times, poor playing conditions at times,

Very Slow Play
by snow_boarder81
I agree with the majority of the comments made before me: It's hard to get tee times, Wilson is better than Harding, not bad for a city course. That said, I felt the responsibility to inform people that the course consistently plays extremely slow. I live 10 minutes from there and play fairly often and I haven't finished a full 18-hole round there in under 5 hours for at least 5 years. This is due to the number of people that play the course as well as the quality of players and the fact that it does have long holes and allows people to walk.
- Pros: Difficulty, length
- Cons: Speed of play, course upkeep, tee time availability
