Play day was 10/11/26
It was a pleasure to have been on Harding course once again although it’s been years since I’ve been back. Helpful reading the previous post from Chipper28.

It was The 2nd day LA Senior Championship. The course played long like it always has (for me) and that’s just how it goes at both their courses.
- the greens rolled pretty good. Many marks were left unfixed. It was receptive and almost have no rolls from irons in.
- the fairways were ok but not much roll either. Many scattered divots but not severe.
- the kikuyu rough is tough! They were healthy.
- the bunkers played heavy for some but if youll play here often I think you can get used to the mostly the same conditions.
- teeing grounds were not good as far as grass is concerned but you can still find some decent spots.

It’s been so long that I have played here that I admired the deerrs roaming around.

Still a good track.

Played this AM for my weekly walking round. Very cool this AM 49F at 6:30 after having last week in the 90's.

Being first off today we had a POP of 2.5 H walking.

They punched last M/T and the greens were playable this morning. Nice work IMO. Never heard any complaints.

Tee boxes were all playable no issues.

Fairways had nice coverage lies and good rollout all round.

Traps were all fine and the two I was in were fine in playability.

Rough had been cut so no issues in playing from it. Around the greens it was a little deeper causing some issues for a couple of our players.

Excellent service in the shop as always.

A very enjoyable round of golf with good friends good weather and only $18 for Sr.

It was a pleasure to have been on Wilson once again although it’s been years since I’ve been back. Enjoyed reading the previous review from RDenn. Sounds like a wonderful time.

It was The two day LA Senior Championship. The course played long like it always has and that’s just how it goes at both their courses.
- the greens rolled pretty good and bent grass is really nice to putt on. Many marks were fixed but some could have been fixed better. (I’m nitpicking I guess). It was very receptive and almost have no rolls from irons in.
- the fairways were fine but not much roll. Many scattered divots but not severe- I found my ball in a few of them by luck.
- the kikuyu rough is tough! They were healthy.
- the bunkers were played heavy at some but if youll play here often I think you can get used to the mostly the same conditions.
- teeing grounds were not good as far as grass is concerned but you can still find some decent spots.

All in all I find that it you take the course the way it is, there’s still plenty of good golf in it.

Played 10/9/26 3:30 pm Just made 18 at dark.
Course is in good shape overall. Greens are about 90% back. Still a little bumpy and slow. Very receptive. Fairways in very good shape for this time of year. Definitely better then ever before. Mostly green with good coverage. I think this is the first year in many that they didn't stain them green. Good coverage. Rough was the most penal I've seen in a long time. Very thick from second cut on. Tees were unfortunately typical. Crowned and beat up. Very difficult to fine a level spot. Still an easy recommend and even with the difficulties, my favorite twilight course is SD.

Played Friday 10/9 at 9:30. Just a short review for folks interested in the greens. They played very normal without any evidence of punching or sanding. Normal in that there’s a lot of ball marks from people not fixing their own (plus one more), and the occasional bare spot on some greens given the heat, etc. Overall very playable conditions and would recommend. Sand traps were especially decent in the two that I found today.

Played today in a great POP of 3 H. After seeing the first 4 holes I thought it would be longer LOL

Heat wave has broken and we had a nice cool morning with warming temps on the back 9.

I have not played here in about 40 years so it was like playing for the first time. Except one cannot forget a Par 6 hole which is still there.

And I give praise to anyone who can walk this place. I believe I played only one flat hole #12 that was not up down and over like this place. Local knowledge is key here and glad my partners knew this course.

We used a Golf Moose voucher so the round cost us $31.50 a piece with cart. Great deal.

Check in was great and friendly by the staff.

Tee boxes were playable but many could use leveling.

Fairways had good coverage (not all of them) but they provided decent roll out and lies the whole round.

Traps? There aren't any. But seriously I cannot even remember a bunker on 98% of the holes around the greens other than a few fairway ones that really did not come into play.

But who needs traps when there are enough ups/downs like a roller coaster and a course with OB lining every hole that if you went in they would not find you + the eucalyptis trees covering the course. Just be straight with your driver if you can.

Greens are in great shape and they are small and with the many elevations of the holes coming up short can be an issue with chipping as they are fast. They also have lots of unseen levels when putting that can drive one crazy.

And then you have two holes #9 and #18 that are unique as any holes you might come across. #9 a Par 3 (175 B 141 W) is downhill by at least 175 yards very small green surrounded by heavy rough and trees. Making par (I did) is not easy.

#18 is a Par 5 (667 B 649 W) all downhill OB on both sides of the fairway all downhill lies or uphill lies the entire way and uphill to a small green when you reach about 100 yards to the green above you. Not an easy hole to par (I did) by any means.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing here as it is as different as night/day to so many courses one can play in N and S CA. Highly recommended for anyone regardless of skill just to experience such a dramatically different layout of a course.

And there is a nice little Par 3 course on property as well.

+ Beautiful views of the bay area of from many of the holes on the course.

Played Arrowood early on 10/7. Greens are back to very good condition, a bit firmer than I remember them being before. Upcoming aeration should soften them some.

The rest of the course is in really good shape for late summer. Fairways good, rough can be spotty.

The only problem spots I really noticed was on the apron of several greens, the grass was very iffy. Maybe those areas will get hit with aeration too.

Put Arrowood back on your must play lists.

Played this AM as first off. Nice POP in 3 H.

Sr day today and every Wed for $34 w cart. Great deal for such a good course.

Great course inside the vineyards of Napa Valley with no houses and 6 Par 3's and 6 Par 5's. Par 72 with lots of scoring possibilities.

Tees all clean and playable all round.

Fairways clean, good rollout lies all round.

Rough was 3/4 " and damp at start and a few holes have culverts, creeks along the fairways and around the greens to cause trouble.

Traps were bad at first due to over watering from overnight and were mud not dirt and some dried out later. In one but not playable to muddy.

Greens are big and designed in many different shapes with undulations and uphill and downhill slopes. Quite challenging.

Great service in the shop. And good food in the restaurant.

Great course right off Hwy 12 going into Napa and next door to Eagle Vines. Two great courses for a golf trip to Napa.

Walked the blacks as a single yesterday monday 10/5/26 afternoon joing a friendly two ball and single with POP around 4 hours 45 minutes following a corporate tournament event the course had yesterday. As I looked around I was the only one walking. Weather was low 80s with a nice 10mph breeze cooling the temps down mid round for us...basically perfect scoring golf weather. Met by friendly staff in the shop and used their all grass range for small bucket just before tee off.

Greens were in great shape rolling an 11 on the stimp. Holding approach shots nicely and really checking up on uphill chips. Just a smooth pure roll here as usual. Stay below the hole on some of their massive green complexes. Enough potato chip swales here where u really need to negotiate speed and line well or u can get humbled here quickly on the greens. Rated 9/10

The tees were very lush and some of the tips had unlevel stances on some of the holes(6 comes to mind). Rated 7/10

Was not in any bunkers but the ones I walked by had muddy/brownish sand that looked damp and wet.

Rough was really mowed down to playable length just off the fairways. Mostly green and lush. Had a great striking day so stayed inside the cartpaths all day. Did notice that they have completely cut down the native areas left of 13, left of 14, between 15/16 and right of 17 Im assuming for POP. Rough rating 7/10

The fairways had many unrepaired sections of grass that were bare, muddy or super thin...hole 14 middle of the fairway comes to mind. Was in 12/14 fairways and this was the poorest Ive seen tbe fairways. Hopefully with some winter rains and the grounds crews working on those areas they will be back to normal soon. Rated 5.5/10

Love the layout here and putting these challenging greens. Throw in the Ocean views and I can see why its a favorite of mine and many others.

Course in tremendous shape overall considering it will be closed for over seeding next week. POP excellent with most snow birds not here yet. Temps in the 90-95 range this time of year in the afternoons is pretty pleasant w/o humidity most days. Rough areas getting overspray from the green/fairways are lush/deep. Too deep. I can no longer play out of 3" Bermuda rough close to greens and fairways where you can see nothing but the top of your ball. Cannot wait for these areas to be scalped for overseeding! Fairways and tees mostly lush and well maintained. Sand traps almost always nicely maintained here. Greens are currently outstanding. Medium quick and very smooth. Downhill putts can be almost impossible on some hole locations. So you need to plan and execute your approaches, chips and even first putts accordingly. Range and practice greens both upper level quality wise. Nice GPS on carts. Restaurant good for a golf course with a decent selection. Highly recommended.

Played 10/3/26 12 pm POP 4.5 hrs Course was in over all good to great shape. Fairways green with good coverage. Cut tight in many places with not a lot of cushion underneath. Other areas great. Rough was on the heavy side, but not too deep. Greens were in great shape. Receptive and running medium fast. Lots of hidden breaks. Was not in any traps, but they looked to be consistent and decent. Course fairly open off the tee but with tree lined fairways that could cause issues if you are too far off line. Interesting and fun layout, but no real wow factors. Saw the cart girl 3 times. great practice/warm up areas and well stocked golf shop. Nice snack bar with good food choices. Over all recommended.

Played this AM. Nice and cool at start over 90 when we finished.

Course is aerating this week and locals say it usually takes two weeks for this course to properly heal.

Tee boxes playable.

Fairways good coverage good lies and great roll out as the heat has firmed them up nicely.

Traps all playable trust me I know.

No rough but plenty of OB and trees that can and will cause you problems.

Greens were in nice shape and I hope they are this good after aeration.

Great service in the shop as always.

Great way to spend $18.
