Played today, November 18, 2008 at 11:30 a.m. After teeing off AFTER the mini-commercial shoot for Korean Television, we were off and running behind the 3 groups in front of us. Boy, things never change. It took us about 4 holes to finally hit our stride after waiting approximately 10 minutes every hole.

The course gets a 7 for the teeboxes, 7 for the fairways, and 6 for the greens. There are just too many people that play this course everyday for the course to fair any better.

By the way, when did my brothers from Ardmore and Wilshire start playing golf, every day, 7 days out of the week. Doesn't anybody WORK anymore??? By the way, there were a few other brothers from Imperial and Central out there flirting with the blond sales rep out front. HILARIOUS!

This course is a steal for the length and the history.

Our round took about 5.5 hours. It is always a pleasure to play Wilson. Make sure you stop by the House of Pies - Vermont/Franklin in Los Feliz afterwards for a sandwich and piece of pie. You won't regret it.

THIS GOLF COURSE REALLY SURPRISED ME! FOR A CITY PUBLIC COURSE, THIS TRACK WAS IN REALLY GOOD CONDITION. THE FAIRWAYS AND ROUGH ARE MANICURED AND MAINTAIN WITH VERY LITTLE BARE SPOTS OR BURNT TURF.
THE GREENS ARE OUTSTANDING, THEY ROLLED SMOOTH AND TRUE (MED-FAST) TRAPS AND BUNKERS ARE STRATEGICALLY PLACED TO MAKE IT GOOD CHALLENGES TO APPROACH. YOU JUST DON'T WACK YOUR BALL AND THINK YOU WILL LAND SAFELY ON THE GREEN, YOU MAY COME ALITTLE SHORT AND LAND IN A BUNKER. THE TREELINE FAIRWAYS ARE THE REAL APPEAL OF THIS COURSE, ALONG WITH THE NICELY SLOPING FAIRWAYS. YOU GET ALOT OF VARIETY ON EACH HOLE, DOG LEFT, DOG RIGHT, ELAVATION DROPS . . . ALOT OF FUN VARIETY ON THIS COURSE. I WILL PLAY HERE AGAIN.

Played here on Friday at 9:00 a.m. with other GKers...I had never played there before and it was a nice scenery change for me. The drive back home was a B%#*h. Anyhow, the fees as most of you know have increased and for a non-resident you really get the shaft. Green fees for a non-resident are $35 to walk.

From the pro-shop to the starter...this is a very well organized course. The fairways were in pretty immaculate shape for getting as much play as this course gets. There were a few burned out areas in the fairway, but it's expected with the summer heat. The course play to almost 7,000 from the blue tees and it is a very challenging course.

The greens were beautiful....I hardly found any unrepaired ball marks on them and they were very tough to read. I had several GIRs and just barely missed my mark. I loved the greens in that not many putts were straight in putts! There were many birdie opportunities but you really had to read the break to get them in. I didn't find many sandtraps, but they seemed pretty fluffy and not hard-packed like most muni-courses.

The pace of play was great! We finished in 4:15 hours and never really had to wait on many holes. The marshall did a great job that day to keep the pace going...I would love to come back to this course and try to break something......par that is!

I now know the sweetspot of tee times! You get a decent price for green fees ($31) non-resident walking and you can finish with enough light left in the day to finish 18 and something from the "honey-do" list. Played Thursday at Wilson. Greens were in good shape -- very receptive. Fairways also in good shape. It showed signs of being watered constantly. Sand traps were well stocked. Pace of play was suprisingly good. Played in under 4 1/2 hours. We followed a foursome. We started as a threesome off the tee but was joined by a single. We played fast. 3 walking with 1 (the single) riding. I have always liked the Griffith Park GCs and I was not disappointed. For the amount of play this and Harding gets, the course is in great shape. Greens are typical munis but you get what you pay for. They are still challenging without too many bounces. Just folks... FIX THOSE DIVOTS.... they never fix themselves.

Got out at 1pm and finished in about 4 1/2 hrs. The round went relatively smooth with hardly a wait on the tee boxes except until the final 4 holes. The heat finally got to the group ahead of us but the pace was still very respectable.

The course itself is crisp. As in, burnt and very dry. The best part of the course was the sand as they were filled and fluffy. If you can get past how brown this course is right now then you will enjoy one of the best values in the city.

Played today and didn't tee off on time which is typical on that course. Usually it's 15 to 20 min after your tee time. Started out a little slow and then it started to pick up after the 3rd hole. The fairways were in good shape. You had some roll after the ball hit the fairways. The greens were also in good shape and had some pace to them.

Played Wilson Park for the 1st time this afternoon. The round took a little over 5hrs to play, however, it could have been better if there was more efficiency on the Par 3s. Average wait on every Par 3 was about 10 min. Maybe thats why the course only has 3 of them or maybe its the July 4th crowd.

Back tees played 6949yds. Great for those who grip n ripp cuz this course has huge fairways and even a miss into the rough isn't too bad in most spots. Just don't miss into the many tree lines that separate the fairways.

Greens were slow for my liking. Take a good whack at that 30 footer cuz they are bumpy and could use a trim. This was the case on all the greens.

Overall I feel that you get what you pay for and I'm not complaining. With the current water conservation directive going on right now I see how easily any course can be dry and patchy as was the case at Wilson.

I'll be back on this track very soon!!

Pace of play was suspect for the first 3 holes, but it really opened up after that. I haven't played here in a few years, but I must admit I was pleasantly surprised on how well kept this course is..

The tee boxes are level, lush, and don't have a ton of divots. The fairways are green, manicured, and in good shape.. Few dead spots but not too bad.. Traps looked good (fortunately I wasn't in any of them, the whole round).. Greens hard to start the round, but softened up.. Held shots well, but very very slow.. Overall a good round, and I would come back!!

Well kept most of the year. Can be played in 3+ hrs. early on. Probably 5 or more later in the day, especially on the weekends. Prices go up 7-1-08, 3 to 10 dollars. Non-resident fees start also. To g... Continue »

To get resident fees, you must get a registration card, $25 for residents, or else pay non-resident fees.
