Hit Knollwood up for a 830 tee time.

WOW!! What a waste!!!

The course was fine and the greens were good.

The round took so long. Over 3 1/2 hours for the front 9. We left after 9 holes and when we were coming in they had run out of carts and the people on the first tee flocked to us when we were rolling up to the cart barn.

60 bucks to play 9 holes, what gip.

Played here for the first time recently. The course punched their greens 3 weeks ago and are almost healed. Credit to the course for giving this info at check in and giving a discount!!!!

Tee boxes were shaggy and need to be mowed. Some divot damage, bust mostly level and easy to hit from. Fairways were a mixed bag. Played in the morning so still pretty damp. Some divo... » More

Tee boxes were shaggy and need to be mowed. Some divot damage, bust mostly level and easy to hit from. Fairways were a mixed bag. Played in the morning so still pretty damp. Some divot damage and some areas were getting new sod. Rough was mowed down and not much an issue. Bunkers were not great. Wet sand and they have not been raked in a while. Greens looked good but need a mow. Slow speed and a little bumpy.

I really enjoyed the course, front nine is pretty straight forward and not to hard, back nine is much more challenging with a few forced carries. This is not a walking course. The drive from 9-10 took forever! If you can find a deal I would highly suggest this course.

Played Sunday, October 5, around 7:00 am. Started late after they put a gap group in front of us and they were a hole behind after one hole. About the 5th hole though, they took off and started playing at a good pace. It was like a tag team and a group that had an interest in pace substituted in. Ended up being a 4 hour pace.

Played Sunday, October 5, around 7:00 am. Started late after they put a gap group in front of us and they were a hole behind after one hole. About the 5th hole though, they took off and started playing at a good pace. It was like a tag team and a group that had an interest in pace substituted in. Ended up being a 4 hour pace. Snack shack was open when I we went by after the 2nd hole, nice to see as it was not open early the last couple of times I played here. I made sure to buy something when we made the turn to give positive reinforcement for the good behavior.

I knew from Greenskeeper that they had punched the greens on Monday and Tuesday. It was a heavy punch. Interestingly, the greens were still pretty firm. Lots of hops and change of direction to the putts. I thought they were faster than the practice green. The fairways were pretty tight, almost winter like condition with some bare spots (looking at you #16). There is quite a bit of lush rough but also some areas with bare spots. I had a couple of nasty lies, on dirt between clumps of grass. The bunkers were also a mixed bag including several that had insufficient sand. I was in one fairway bunker (#13) where a heavy rake job left me with a teed up lie. I lost no yardage on the shot, ending up in the back bunker that had less sand than the fairway one. At least this time here I did not end up near one of the crazy steep edges they bunkers have (last time here I had to play a bunker shot on my knees outside the bunker, lunging down at the ball). The tees were lush and level.

Overall, not as good tee to green as I have seen it and the aerated greens are what you would expect from the large punch. I enjoy Lakewood but I may delay my return until the greens heal.

Played Harding yesterday with a 3 randos.

Nice early round, cool and overcast and finished pretty warm out.

Course was in ok condition. Not too many gopher holes or anything, just lots of cut grass.

Tee boxes were fine, sand was good I guess, I wasn't in it. Greens were micropunched a week or so ago, They rolled ok so not too much to complain about... » More

POP was was ok, busy groups in front of our 855 tee time.

Typical Griffith Day at Harding.

Mountain course currently closed for overseeding, so all recent rounds have been on Canyon. Course continues to be in nice condition even with over seeding within a few weeks. Milder temps and uncrowded conditions make this my favorite time of year to play here. I am sometimes practically the only person on an entire 9 on weekday afternoons.

Mountain course currently closed for overseeding, so all recent rounds have been on Canyon. Course continues to be in nice condition even with over seeding within a few weeks. Milder temps and uncrowded conditions make this my favorite time of year to play here. I am sometimes practically the only person on an entire 9 on weekday afternoons. Tees and fairways lush and well maintained. Sand near immaculate. Rough mostly clumpy Bermuda mowed low. Lies can vary from looking like it was teed up to sitting down so much advancing it with a longer club is unlikely within a small area. Bermuda greens slower than usual. Firm and medium speed, not as smooth as in high season. Almost no ball marks, putts still roll very true. Easier to putt than when they are quicker, it's amazing how many more putts I can hole when the greens are even 10% slower. Restaurant good for a golf course. Customer service excellent both inside/outside the club. Practice facilities and the GPS on the carts both excellent. Men's lounge nice place to have a meal or get a drink with numerous big screen TV's in a friendly atmosphere. Newly renovated gym is a nice addition as well. Highly recommended.
