Played on 1-20-18, at 8 am. Course was pretty empty so POP was not an issue, and I was very surprised by the improved conditions. Fairways had decent to good coverage and the areas where most shots go looked green. The greens were vastly improved with no visible fungus growth, and more than smooth enough, rolling at medium speed. I was in one bunker at the 9th green and it was very playable. Overall, I was very happy with the conditions and would not hesitate in playing again.

Played Sunday morning, 9-17. POP was slow and compounded by a delayed tee time of 25 minutes. Greens were ok but most disappointing part were the fairways. Huge holes, splotchy grass, and dirt piles everywhere. What happened? Harding's fairways are not anything like this. Not only does it affect play and is unsightly, it's dangerous for walkers especially. The one bunker I was in was also filled with hard/heavy sand. Also, the rough is deep and inconsistent, with the ball sometimes sitting so far down that a decent strike is impossible. If you are planning to play in Griffith Park, I would strongly advise against playing Wilson. Play Harding, which has a better layout to boot.

Played 7-30-17, Sunday morning. 728 tee time but teed off 10 minutes late. Finished at 12:20. So POP was mediocre. Playing conditions overall were very good. Fairways were mostly lush, propping up balls on balls in the fairway. A few muddy areas which should have been marked GUR were avoided. The rough throughout was quite penal, at least 2 inches thick. Greens were OK except for a couple which had some fungal issues. Tee boxes were mostly level but a handful were almost rock hard. Bunkers were ok with thick-ish sand.

Played last weekend, in the afternoon, and the course conditions were pretty good but I don't have high expectations of this course. Fairways were solid. I wasn't in any bunkers so no opinion there. Tee boxes were mostly level but the par 3 tee boxes were chewed up. POP was fine, with our fivesome taking a little over 2 hours. Greens looked fine but were quite slow. For a relatively short 9 hole course, scoring isn't easy especially with some narrow fairways and doglegs that bring trees into the equation. Definitely one of my favorite 9 hole courses.

Played on Saturday, 6-17. 2:04 tee time became a 2:35 tee time. Conditions were very good. Fairways were lush enough, flat tee boxes, and nicely rolling greens. The bunkers had soft white sand. BUT, the pace of play was horrendous. Took us over 3 hours to play 9 holes, and we left after 16 holes, with another multi-group backup on the 17th hole awaiting us. The waiting at every single tee box can be a real grind. For this reason, this is an at most, once a year course for me, despite the great weather and views.

Played Sunday morning, 6/11. POP was good at 4 hr 20 minutes, with a fast 3 some in front of our 4 some. Fairways were fine, with some very lush areas. Some tee boxes were very hard packed but better than before; but they were generally level. Unfortunately, I was in one greenside bunker before they groomed it and let's just say the lie was not favorable. Greens didn't look great but they rolled ok at medium speed.

Played on 4-29-17, around noon. POP was about 5 hours. I was looking forward to playing this course for the first time since they switched the 9's. The new front 9 is definitely tougher for me. Conditions wise, I was a little disappointed in the condition of the fairways. Drier than I expected but still very playable. Also, the greens had not recovered from the punching earlier in the month -- very bumpy. The sand in the bunkers was also on the thin side but my bunker play is also not good. The tee boxes were generally level and sufficiently lush. I'd like to play it again soon after the greens recover.

Round was 740 am on Saturday, 3-11. POP was brutal for the first 4-5 holes, and even though waiting time diminished greatly after that, overall the round was 5:10 or so. This was disappointing. However, the conditions were good. Smooth and fast greens although a couple of the pins were in very difficult spots, and the fairways were semi-lush. Rough was somewhat penal but very playable and the bunkers had good, soft sand as far as I could tell. I wish the round could have been in the 4:30 range but maybe that's too much to ask.

Played the Classic Saturday morning, 10-3. POP was excellent, at 3:45, with my twosome playing at an easy pace behind a 3-some. Greens were on the slow side, having been punched recently but very playable. Only the second time I played this course, and I found the course to be pretty basic and straight forward. Tee boxes were fine, and the fairways were thin in some areas and sufficiently lush in others. No hardpan. The bunkers looked ok but I was in only one so I can't say too much about them. It's hardly an exciting course but the rate was reasonable, and the POP (at least on this occasion) was great.

Unfortunately, I have to disagree with some of the recent reviews. I played the Babe on the afternoon of 7-2-15, and I was shocked by the extreme softness of the fairways. I took huge, muddy divots on many practice swings -- something I hardly ever do. I had to break my normal swing routine to wipe off the big chunk of mud stuck on my club face, and this didn't help my confidence at all. I also was not impressed with the look of the greens. I suppose they rolled ok but they didn't look very healthy or green. Anyway, I hadn't played the Babe in over a year, and I now know that I have no need to go back for a long time.

Played on 5-31-15, Sunday afternoon at 3 pm. Got on quickly off the wait-list for a twilight rate, and played in a foursome with a POP of 4 hours flat, with minimal waiting, if at all during the round. Conditions were solid throughout; level tee boxes, smooth-ish greens; decent sand in the bunkers; and lush fairways. Some dry spots on fairways where you generally shouldn't be. Overall, I was quite impressed with the conditions and pace of play.

Played Saturday, 5-23-15, at 6:45. POP was 4 hours and would have been even better but for a slow 4some in front of us. Greens were on the slow side and took a while to adjust. Sand was decent, evidenced by my getting out of two of them on the first try. I think this is an underrated course with an overall interesting course design (it's not flat and repetitive), compared to other local muni's. Fairways more than adequately lush and tee boxes were fine. Really, no big complaints about any aspect of the course. Would like to come back soon.
