Regulation 9-Hole?? A RARE Find
Don’t have 5-hours to play a full round of golf? Then Harbor Park Municipal Golf Course is for you. It is the only 9-Hole REGULATION golf course that I know of in the LA/OC areas. This William F. Bell design was built in 1958 with a complete renovation in 1994 (Btw—He also designed nearby Palos Verdes Country Club). Its straightforward layout is mostly flat and invites walkers (although carts are available). There are two notable exceptions: No. 5 (Par-5) that drops down toward the green after the dogleg. This is directly followed by No. 6 (Par-3) with a tee box that has you hitting to an elevated green (Note: Depending on the day’s tee marker placement, this is usually a blind tee-shot since the flag is usually obstructed by trees that jut out from the left chain link boundary fence).
The only downside that you may experience is the pace-of-play. One of the reasons is the course practice of sending out FIVESOMES (at least on the Weekends and/or when it’s busy). Our Start Time was 1:24pm. We finished a about 4:05pm. While 2 ½ hours is not an outrageous pace-of-play for a Municipal Course—it might push the borders of your patience. Fortunately I was paired with four very sociable guys who made the waits more bearable.
Since it is a Regulation 9-hole, you may find yourself at the end like me playing the “What If?” numbers game: “I shot a 42, but, what if it was 18-holes. Hmmm, I might have shot a . . . “.
However, you can avoid the numbers game by just walking back up to the Starter and trying to book another 9—then, you’ll have your answer.
Guy at front does not care about any order of waitlist. He puts people out on course from waitlist even though he has other people waiting infront on waitlist. Don’t get point of being 1st on waitlist if you r going to let people out 5 and 6th on list before. Course is great but very frustrating that person infront is wasting people’s time on waitlist by letting out whoever he wants.
Excellent executive course
Tee boxes good, fairways & greens very well maintained for a public course. Pace of play was excellent. Very fun course to play.
Gave my tee time away!
We checked in 5 minutes before tee time only to be told they had given my paid reservation away to another 2-some. Lady said we had to check in 15 minutes before tee time. Saturday morning 7:30am.
Pretty wack.
