Play was slow for a Friday morning round. We saw the marshall on holes 1&2, but then not again until 18. The rough is severely pockmarked like the surface of the moon in some areas and almost unplayable. The fairways are in poor condition and filled with divot marks. The greens were not as bad as I expected given the rest of the course, and the bunker sand was soft. The layout of the course is wonderful and is the only thing that will entice me back considering the condition it was in. It has some really fun holes.

WILSON WAS RUNNING 30-40 MINUTES BEHIND ON GETTING TEE TIMES OUT! WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE 8:19 AM, BUT GOT OUT CLOSER TO 9 AM? I BELIEVE THIS HAD TO DO WITH THE NEW CARTS? YES WHEN THE CART SHACK BURNT DOWN, PACE OF PLAY WAS SHORTER? OOH WELL! GREENS WERE A LITTLE BUMPY, NEEDED TO BE ROLLED. NEW SAND IN ALL THE BUNKERS, SO ITS SOFT, IF YOU KNOW HOW TO PLAY THEM ITS GREAT. WE JUST BEAT THE RAIN AND LIGHTNING BY 10 MINUTES, THANK YOU! COURSE WAS PLAYABLE , NOT THE BEST CONDITION BUT HIT FAIRWAYS BUMP IT IF YOU WANT AND HIT GREENS. THE COURSE WAS NOT GOING TO BEAT YOU TODAY, ONLY YOUR SWING! LA MUNI'S ARE TUFF TO BEAT AT $22 BUCKS FOR 5+ HOURS OF FUN, ENTERTAINMENT AND LAUGHS. STAY DRY AND HIT IT AND FIND IT.

may gopher holes, but overall a fun course, long par fives. Greens were in good shape.

stay away from this one, there are more gopher holes than trees on this course. it seems they gave up on it.

Many cold mornings have led to dormant, divot fested fairways. By April, this and other courses should be green again. The greens are in good shape. That is most important! Classic, tall tree lined golf course that gets lots of play. Always a challenge and fun to play. I was lucky to see the 6 deer that live here.

Wilson features a genuinely interesting layout with lots of doglegs and good use of the natural terrain. The course tends to play shorter than the stated yeardage off the tees, but longer on approaches thanks to lots of elevated greens, many of which are more elevated than they first appear. It's a good test of golf that relies on the older fundamentals of course architecture, rather than tricks, to stress your game. As for the course conditions right now, I'd say they're generally just fair. The greens are okay, though rather bumpy and medium-slow. Fairways look bad but play pretty nicely - there's a lot of brown and plenty of thin areas but for the most part they're pretty good. Tee boxes are quite bad at this course - it's just tough to find one that's level - but despite the shortcomings in conditioning, this course is well worth the $23 weekday or $29 weekend green fee. There are a few modern-day course architects who could really take a lesson from this excellent layout!
