Headed back to Harding this weekend for the first time in a spell. Got a cart and played from the blue tees for a $56 greens fee. We had an 11:20am tee time and got paired with a nice young gentleman to complete our foursome.

Didn't have any range time but there is still a food truck over by the first tee for Wilson. Putting green in front of the clubhouse still closed for some reason.

Front nine still showing signs from aeration and had some sand on the greens as well. Not sure when they switched but don't remember seeing any of that on the back nine where the greens were in good shape, rolling true and medium-fast speed. Held shots quite well.

Fairways are in good, not great condition. Very playable and you'll even find some lush areas, but mostly thin/just enough. The rough is not penal and plays nicely. Bunkers were somewhat crusty and had lots of bumps and depressions, so it was mandatory to move any shots in there to a flatter area. Tee boxes were in good enough shape in terms of being level, but not great coverage.

POP was really good with the groups moving very nicely and came in at just over four hours, even though it seemed like longer. Was really wishing for more holes when we got to 18!

I still prefer Harding's fun layout to Wilson's, but that's just personal preference. I always just love also being in the Griffith Park area, only this time we did not see any deer or coyotes anywhere on the course. Really fun closing par 5 as well, but the rest of the course is quite pleasant too. When all the greens are healed up and maybe get a little bit of rain, this track will be back in optimum shape in no time.
