Course description

The maintained course record, presented separately from live booking and user reviews.

Thomas Jr. — the designer of Riviera, Bel-Air and Los Angeles Country Club. Playing to a par of 72 at 6,679 yards beneath the San Gabriel foothills, Wilson is a mature, tree-lined parkland course and one of the most-played municipal layouts in Los Angeles.

The Layout

Wilson is the stiffer test of the two Griffith Park courses — longer than its neighbor Harding, with tree-lined fairways, mature specimen trees and the Santa Monica Mountains as a backdrop. Thomas's routing rewards position play into greens that, while not severe, ask for a controlled approach. As a City of Los Angeles muni it sees enormous play, so tee sheets fill quickly, especially on weekends.

Know Before You Go

  • City-owned; book through the L.A. City tee-time system or call (323) 663-2555. Wilson shares its clubhouse, pro shop and lighted range with the Harding Course.

  • Pair a round here with the adjacent Harding Course — the two make Griffith Park one of the largest municipal golf complexes in the country.
