    Obligatory photo from the 8th hole.

    Scenic 9 hole executive course. Good variety in hole layouts, some blind tee shots, dog legs, and hills. Walking only. They do have push carts available to rent before 1:30pm. Reservations required and they get gobbled up very quickly. Due to the location, views, and price it's one of the higher in demand local courses. While it's only an executive course the design does allow for interesting play and use most of your bag. Condition is pretty standard in comparison to the other LA public courses. The greens can be deceiving due to being in the hills. Great views around each bend of downtown and the observatory. Starters... seem to ignore helping guests at the window and cause delays for no good reason. - PACE OF PLAY ... They book all tee times with 5 golfers and "I0 minute" spacing. Especially on weekends if you do not start before 8:30am expect a grueling very long day. Hole 6 specifically is notorious for having a back up of multiple groups. Very narrow and lined with trees. The back up could be reduced if players only teed off once and took their loses with a drop. The course should reduce tee slots to 4 players only. I did also get the impression that a large amount of the clientele are not concerned with keeping pace or negatively impacting others rounds. Groups that are more than happy to be out there for an unnecessarily long time. - The cafe onsite has a good variety of good and beverages and plenty outdoor seating. If you have the chance to play an early tee time, I would say do it! The deduction in rating really comes from how crowded, slow and backed up the course becomes. All that can lead to tension and arguing on the course and disrupt your rhythm of play.

    Tale of two tales, on one hand you have a exquisite scenic course and on the other you have a poorly managed course. Typical municipality, cares more about revenue generating than guest experience.1:30 tee time and didn't get to tee off until 2pm. Not only that, it took 3.5 hrs to play 9-holes.. no joke. 2-3 groups waiting every hole, Course allows 5 per group, full of hackers and no staff/marshal to keep the peace. Unless you have time to spare be aware of Westchester 2.0.

    This is a great casual spot for golfing with friends. You also get a nice view of the observatory.

    TL;DR Nice golf course, nice views, out in nature, gets backed up. The Course: The course itself is well maintained, and has some nice views to it. It is walking only and there are plenty of hills that you will have to trek. The downhill par 3 at the 9th hole is a nice way to finish after conquering the dog leg on the 8th hole. Saw deer, coyotes, and some bear droppings. Amenities/Service: They add 5ths to groups. Know this before coming or else you will find out when you start to pay. My group came to play on a Sunday and we got quite backed up. Location: Construction on LA streets really make it hard to get up here sometimes. Parking is not ideal, but you'll be able to find something in the area if you cannot find something at the course.

    Sweet course with lots of character, and opportunities to hit nearly every club in your bag. Pace of play is slow, around 3 hours which is normal for LA city 9 holes. Friendly staff and good chicken Caesar wrap in the cafe.

    Great public course! People are friendly and will let you play through or join. I like that there is a cafe. Greens were in good condition, bunkers were a bit rough. I played with just a putter, sand, 8, 5 iron and had a blast, went around twice because it was empty! Not super long, but it is very narrow on some holes. 9 holes total. Had some views of DTLA and Observatory too

    This course is currently my favorite 9 hole - each course is large and very well kept. Parking is never an issue. Tee time usually fill up so plan ahead!

    golfed a lot during this COVID crisis to get out of the house and frustrate the shit out of myself. no, but golf is great. sometimes. really (depending on how i'm playing). really nice executive 9 hole course, par 3 and 4s. well maintained greens, takes about 2.5-3 hours to play through. there's some pile up as expected on the par 3 holes. short course, so no golf carts. strictly walking although they rent out push carts. the course is long and challenging enough to practice and play all of your clubs. it's busy and reservation only (no walk ins, at least currently), but it's a pleasant experience. can't beat $10 for weekday twilight. i usually get paired up with old korean guys playing during the week. there's usually a hold up on the 6th hole, par 4. narrow fairway with trees lining both sides. use your cheap throwaway balls on this hole if you're in a funk. the 8th hole is the flagship hole with a direct view of griffith observatory. enjoy the beautiful scenery and the occasional grazing deer. bombs away.

    Great place to golf. Fairways and greens are beautifully kept, especially for a municipal course. The pace of play was about average the day we played. Wasn't aware that they book fivesomes, but it didn't slow down our group that much. We will definitely return and play again.

    Was shooting blind because of the fog but still found all fairways.

    Be prepared to spend at least three hours here on a weekend, which is kind of absurd for a 9 hole course.

I took my husband there for his birthday and selected a bay for two people. This was our first time so we didn't really know what to expect. We picked a virtual course in Korea which was on the tougher side but still had a good time. The bay was semi private which was exactly what we wanted. The ball sets up automatically and upon each swing, it rolls down the side and another ball sets right up. You can also pause and take a look at your swing analysis. My husband always asks me what's wrong with his swing so this was perfect. You're able to see where the ball made contact, face angle, back spin, and all the analysis you can request for to make your next swing better. They offer custom club fitting and classes. If we didn't live so far away, this would be a good option to improve our game. Plenty of parking since it's inside the shopping center where HMart is at. Go up the escalator and you'll see it in the corner. Easy to find. Easy to park. No hassle experience. Great place to would come again if in the area.

The two lower levels have the ability to play different games on monitors that track your shots.

Parking can get full pretty quickly. Thankfully we opted for carts with our tee time, so we did not have to walk a bunch. Due to the rainy weather, we were told to drive on the cart path which we understood, but at some holes it was difficult to see a clear pathway. Our time at the golf course was fine until Hole 11, where a Guardian Community tent was set up... The dude that was there introduced himself and asked if we were interested in donating, in which we kindly declined. Bad idea. He then goes on and on, persistently asking us why and even called one of us so serious. I've never experienced someone being so pushy for donations. As someone who doesn't play golf regularly, I would honestly skip Hole 11 completely, just to avoid another rude interaction with someone from Guardian Community. The whole situation just left a sour taste in my mouth. Like seriously, you're going to call us names for kindly declining a donation. What happened to respecting our time and being professional, dude was talking while people are trying to putt. Hmmm... I did like the range for the TopTracer, but now I am reconsidering coming back.

Our reservations is at 3pm, but honestly even if you don't have one and the wait is an hour or two, it's still not bad. There are TVs everywhere and a bar area where you can hang out while you wait. This time we were on the third floor, and I actually liked it more than being on the ground level. The vibe just felt a little better up there. Food was, as always, really good. We ordered boneless wings with fries, chips and salsa with guac, and a few drinks. My husband and I skipped alcohol this time since we gave it up for a lent, but honestly it didn't make a difference since we are not big drinkers like we used to and we still had the best time! Jarvis was helping us and he was super nice and attentive the whole time. Thanks so much, Jarvis! It also wasn't too packed, which I loved--just the right amount of people. I like that there's a bar on each floor too, so you never feel crowded in one area. Overall, we always have a great time here. Definitely one of our go-to spots and can't wait to come back again!

The parking lot was pretty full since the place was busy, but it's a large lot so it wasn't hard to find parking. Once inside, the place looked really nice and the staff greeted us right away. Customer service was friendly and helpful. They showed us where our bay was, and once we got settled a server came over to help us log in and also offered to take any food or drink orders. We ordered some tacos along with the pita and hummus. Quite honestly, for a place where you're golfing and constantly touching golf clubs, there seemed to be a lot of finger foods on the menu. The food was cool, nothing special, but still enjoyable enough for the experience. The whole setup was really smooth and the staff made everything easy. I've actually never played golf or swung a golf club before, but it ended up being really fun and easy to pick up. The atmosphere inside was great and the overall ambience made it a fun place to hang out. My only small critique would be the pricing. I understand why it's expensive given the experience and the venue, but it could probably be slightly cheaper. Overall though, I had a great time and would definitely come back again.
