About Harding Golf Course

Harding Golf Course is one of Los Angeles's crown jewels of public golf, sharing the Griffith Park golf complex with Wilson Golf Course and offering a storied history that stretches back nearly a century. Situated in the heart of Griffith Park — one of the largest urban parks in the United States — Harding plays through mature sycamore trees along the Los Angeles River channel, with the Santa Monica Mountains visible to the west and the Hollywood Hills framing the northern skyline. The course received a major renovation in 2018, restoring much of its classic design while improving drainage and greens infrastructure. Like its neighbor Wilson, Harding benefits from the dramatic urban park setting that makes Griffith Park courses unlike any other municipal courses in California. Weekend morning tee times here are among the most coveted in the entire LA metro area.

History

Harding Golf Course opened in 1921, named after President Warren G. Harding, and was designed as part of the Griffith Park golf complex by William P. Bell, a prominent California golf architect of the era. The course hosted various California state and regional tournaments over the decades and underwent a significant renovation in 2018 to restore its classic character.

LA golfers who want the authentic Griffith Park experience — a historic course in a spectacular urban natural setting at city-managed prices.
