I really enjoy playing at Harbor. Eventhough it's a 9-hole, there is plenty of length (at least for me). Fairways are wide and forgiving. Greens are well-maintained. Easily walkable. Play can get backed up here and there, but overall, it's not too bad.
In my opinion, this is a great course to work on your game. There's a little bit of everything. Thoroughly enjoyable. -

This is one of my local golf courses. Harbor Park is 9 holes, a true walking course with long fairways. I really like playing here with my friends, cuz I can bring out the BIG club. There is only two holes that I do not hit my Driver. Yes, I'm not a big hitter at only 250 yd avg, but its only for fun.
Harbor Park has a cafe to grab a bite to eat and a drink. The food now is leaning more towards Hawaiian style. Today, playing early, I grabbed a hot coffee and a Gatoraid for the later holes.
For those that do not like to walk, they have carts for rent. The practice putting greens have always been in great shape. There are two parking lots with one on the east side and the other on the south side of the main building.
When you don't have time for a full 18-holes, then Harbor will suit you just fine. -

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?!Listed in: Tee Time!

Love this place! Great for developing players who want to use the rest of the clubs in their bag. When I worked in LA, it was a convenient place to go for some twilight rates. Pretty cheap even with cart (about $20 I think). 9-hole, par 36 facility with some really fun level changes and doglegs. You might very occasionally get stuck behind a slow group, but usually the play is pretty quick.
From the blue tees, holes range in length from 512 yards to 159 yards (mostly ~300-400 yards otherwise). Fairways are pretty wide. Hole #6 always gets me thinking about how much I really trust myself to fly the ball straight over a swampy tree area to the green hiding uphill. Pure fun! -

I learned how to use my woods and full bag at this course and it was a great place for that .....6 years ago. It has really gone down hill since. The greens are slightly bumpy and the starter is slow, and the ranger/marshall are non existent.
For old times sake and convenience, I will visit this place when I return home to Torrance just to get a quick 9 in, however I do not agree with the price being raised to 18.50 and the quality having gone down. They are supposed to be related, not diametrically opposed.
All in all though, it is still a great place to learn and gain confidence......just as long as I am not in the group behind you. This is a major longshoreman hangout and very local course which means you can make some good friends there and run into them quite often.
Don't expect much in the way of food or drink here, just a taco stand in the lot most the time. The pace of play can be a little gruelling at times too with them allowing so many 5somes to go out. But overall not horrible, just not great. (BUT I WILL SAY IT BEATS THE HELL OUT OF VICTORIA) -

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 existListed in: Golf O Rama

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.

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
