Harding at Griffith Park Golf Courses

Those range balls are a disgrace. Why do we have to pay the premium rate above the others to play this course when they can’t even give us clean range balls.
And what is it with that chipping area greens??? Why can’t they just transplant some of the real playing greens grass to the chipping area and then maintain it? So again why are we paying the extra green fee for this awful state?
Course was a bit thick. Fairways were soft and long, had no roll. Some areas of the rough were haphazardly cut so some were long, like 6 inches long right off the fairway and the mower had cut more deeper into the tree line so it was shorter there!!! What the heck.
Greens had been cut but not rolled so they were slippery quick but had vertical cut marks on many and were not smooth so the ball wobbled all over the place, and with the slippery speed it was just guess work what the heck it would do. Not really that fun to putt on, they just felt greasy and jumpy.
What is it with some of the bunkers. Like on 10, next to the green. It’s like a weird diagonal crater in there, and nobody rakes it, because it’s wicked crooked. I wish somebody would just work on the bunkers and relay them. There was one small bunker that had 3 rakes but a really large one at 12 only had 1!!! Ridiculous

Greens are great and fairways in good condition, challenging and fun as always, and pace of play was fine. Only problem is trying to get a tee time at this place. LA city needs to get the bot problem under control. But then again, maybe pace of play is as good because nobody can get a tee time :)

Played on Monday 2/26/24. Tee time was at 6:10am and finished at 10:00am (3 hours 50 minutes). Were one of the first groups out and pace of play was PERFECT! Green were very firm and overall layout was super nice. So happy I was able to get an early tee time and would def wake up early to do it again!
