Not worth the effort

Had to fight traffic to get to course. Found course in poor to bad condition. Greens were terrible. Not worth the effort to play again.

needs work

course has a great layout but needs work on some tee boxes and greens. I played here last over 15 years ago and I was disappointed in the current conditions.

Public Golf Gem

The Harding course is a decent track located in the heart of LA. Hard to get a tee time because it’s so popular but when you do, it’s a top 10 public course in LA. The terrain is mostly flat and you most likely won’t lose a ball unless they cut the rough deep, which does happen on occasion… and that is super frustrating because you can hit a great drive and just be off the fairway and never find your ball.

Overall, good public course to play if you can grab a tee time.

Worst condition of the year

First of all. The practice green is nice and firm, though a bit bumpy, had good speed also.
Then you get to the first green. And it’s wet. Moist. Soft. The ball goes splat. Gets stuck, even on a chip. What the heck.
Most of the greens were like that, today. Why?
Front 9 was only a hair better than the back. The back is tremendously horrible. Every green is bumpy, sticky, had not been cut or rolled, really damp and moist. Just because a week ago they were firm, they let them get like this?
TEMPORARY TEE ON 12, 15 and FULLY FORWARD on 17.
TEMPORARY GREEN on 15.
The place is a joke. It is, a literal representation of all that is wrong with the City of Los Angeles when it PRETENDS to be a great city of the world. It is not. It is the most mismanaged and dishonest gangster city of the first world countries that had no problems lying about everything and just have surface appearances of being OK like a Hollywood movie production house is fake, that sort of thing.
