5 reviews for Harbor Park Golf Course
My next favorite thing I look forward to when making my monthly trek to the South Bay is to work in some golf. This time around we decided to play Harbor Park GC. Ya, it's in Wimas territory but, hey, we heard it was good and needed to check it for ourselves. Hehe...
It's a very nice muni course that's a regulation 9-hole. For beginners like us, it was a great place practice our long game and the fairways are wide enough that we can make up for errant shots off the tee. Holes 4-6 have doglegs with 5 going downhill and 6 going uphill. The last two in those series of holes were Kapalua-esque and especially fun. ;)
Prices are reasonable; it was $17 for the weekend plus $10/person for a cart (but we walked it). My only problem with this course is that you must get in your car and DRIVE to the range. I found that sort of weird. At first we thought there was no range, which we thought was strange (and a big bummer), but then realized there was one. Other than that, The Hubbs and I really enjoyed this course. And who knew Wimington could be so serene?!

Fun little place to play a real 9 holes. Lots of times there are 2 greens to hit to, so make sure you see the flag before you hit. Fairways were good. Tee boxes were either good or very very bad. Sand and rough are decent. Fun layout and easy to walk. I'd definatly play here again, yet not resident fees aren't typical for a 9 hole muni course.
Oh hellz yeah, Harbor Park! Now, the longest most people have to wait here is about an hour. but honestly it's worth it. This course has plenty of drivable par 4's (the 1st, 4th, and the 9th), also they have two great par 5 (the 3rd, 5th - great downhill approach). It's a great course with great ocean breezes. Always played by the locals and has the most seniors playing there.
Some mornings plenty of senior golf clubs are at play. I know the women's club plays there on Tuesday or Wednesday morning. But usually, the course is really free after noon. Prices are cheap here, usually under $20 for a round with a cart. But unless you're a complete invalid, you don't need the cart.
The twilight and super twilight fees are under $10, so if you feel the need to play and you're poor, come here. It's places like these make me miss living in the South Bay. Enjoy the course...

My practice course.
I've been slow to review this course, only because it's really my home course and I don't want it to get any more crowded. But whenever "ReggieMania" hits, this course becomes world famous. Yeah, Reggie the Alligator lives here. Probably the best 9-hole course I've ever played. They keep it in pretty good shape, though not up to Griffith Park or Rancho Park standards. The fairways come and go. In the summer they over-water and create mud puddles. The greens are never perfect, especially twice a year, when they punch them with ice cream scoop-size holes that take month's to grow back. But, that said, it's still pretty good golf for $11.50 during the week and $15 on the weekends. The locals are all pretty cool and the staff is as well.
And definitely lacking any type of attitude that so many of the courses I play, have. And it's like over 3100 yards, that's like 1/2 a real course!
Fairways are pretty wide, so you can take a big swing and it's got 2 legitimate Par 5's and a very long Par4. Also 1 long Par 3 and 1 short par 3. So it's a good mix and a good place to practice a new swing or a new club. It's not Pebble Beach or Trump(ughhh) but it's not trying to be. With cool people.
Update *LA's raised prices at all their courses; New Harbor GC fee's;
Weekdays;$13 Weekends $17
New update; JULY-08
Sadly-City of LA has raised prices to $19(weekdays) and $24(weekends) for out of LA City people like me. Better options do exist

I really like this golf course its forgiving, fun and there are good par 3 and 4 holes. On the down site you have to pay in advance so if you make plans to play make sure you are able to play and you have to wait about a hour before you can get on. once on your good to go. I also like that you can get a golf cart if you want to. FOUR
