Review from 7/31. South Course will be closed this week to aerate greens. If they turn out as well as the North, it will be amazing. Summer heat has taken its toll on the fairways, particularly holes 11 thru 13, which because of the clay soil on these holes, is an annual problem. Otherwise, the course has held up rather well.

Rode the Blues this morning 8/3/26 as part of the GK/Golfmoose event under beautiful weather around 80 degrees with light winds. Joined by buddies John, Ron and Mark. Pop was 4 hrs 45 minutes. Great staging area for an event with the driving range, putting green and chipping area all close in proximity.

Rode the Blues this morning 8/3/26 as part of the GK/Golfmoose event under beautiful weather around 80 degrees with light winds. Joined by buddies John, Ron and Mark. Pop was 4 hrs 45 minutes. Great staging area for an event with the driving range, putting green and chipping area all close in proximity.

Greens looked and putted pure and fantastic. They putted just a tad slower than they looked and held shots very well. Some small and some large green complexes. Most greens here slope back to front so staying below the hole is paramount. Rated 8.5/10

Fairways were nicely cut and padded kikuya based grass that was in great shape! Rated 8.5/10

Rough was thicker kikuya that was higher than the fairways. Most rough sections just feet off the fairways provided nice flier lies. The rough greenside on some holes was thicker and grabby. Rated 8.5/10

Tees were mainly level and in nice shape. Rated 8/10

Only in one greenside bunker that had nice quality sand in it.

Las Posas is a ballstrikers players course where long/straight provides birdie opportunities and crooked provides danger on most holes here. Need to work the ball both ways off the tee here on the back nine. Well guarded greens with superb bunkers surrounding them. Couple nice challenging longer par 3s on the front and two quirky par 5s on the back.

Overall fun course to play with some slight elevation changes here and there.

Don't miss Oscar's grill just to the right of 18 green. Some of the best food in the county.

Heat index was expected to be high as forecasted today with less than 10mph of breeze… clear skies.

Heat index was expected to be high as forecasted today with less than 10mph of breeze… clear skies.
I made my tee time this morning and was glad I got in time- $55 for seniors. I was also supposed to be the 4th in a group but it has been suggested for me to take off alone (perfect, I said to myself!). The same group who let me go alone ended up in the group with me as the group in front struggled to move forward. It took me an hour to get through #8 and the rest of the four hours were just waiting.
Anyway, as a first timer here, I was just waiting for some quirky surprise design and sure enough it showed up on #10, the short par 4, there’s water before the green and it isn’t visible from the tee. That’s what I get for going alone- no one can guide or tell me anything about the holes. Other than that the course is in front of you all day.
It’s really a fun course and doesn’t beat you up much- very forgiving.
The first few greens are rough around the edges but you can tell that they are trying to keep the course in order. The greens weren’t fast at all- if I had to guess it could be 8-9. The greens are not bermuda and I’m guessing it’s bent grass? It’s also very receptive. I’m sure they can make it faster during cooler months. No much divots but there’s always something in front of you that you’re going to need to fix.
Bunkers I was in one of the fairway bunkers and that didn’t have much sand which was okay. A couple around the greens that I was in were okay- it had sand and it was okay on the thin sand side.
The roughs were mixed kikuyu and other types of flat laying weeds. They’re healthier and thicker around the green side but not many bare areas.
The fairways were fair. Some were closely mowed more than others- and not too many unfixed divots.
There are plenty of water in their lakes but nothing to worry about- they really have wide fairways.
Their teeing grounds were fine, I played the whites. 41-36 for a 77… which I’m sure this is pretty normal around here for players with 10.xx index or maybe I got lucky- I had a great day.
I’ll play this again if I’m around the area.
Did not see a beverage cart come around but maybe it’s early in the day. The staff here are pleasant. They really aim for all guests to have their needs before teeing off. Dave the starter got me the senior rate just from asking my age. I had a good experience to say the least.

Saturday round under the blazing sun at Hansen Dam this weekend with a brutal 11:40am tee time ... definitely riding under those Saharan conditions. Played from the blues this time around with a friend and got paired with two fun singles.

Saturday round under the blazing sun at Hansen Dam this weekend with a brutal 11:40am tee time ... definitely riding under those Saharan conditions. Played from the blues this time around with a friend and got paired with two fun singles.

No way to avoid the heat out there in Pacoima so the hot weather is definitely leaving its mark on the course, but it's still in good, playable condition with some hot spots. The fairways on the front nine seemed to be in a bit more lush shape than the back nine, but again - all playable. No big problems in the rough but the tee boxes were definitely feeling some of the wear and tear. I did not land in any bunkers all day but sand looked decent and heard no complaints.

Greens were actually rolling pretty nicely and consistently all afternoon. They held shots well and were rolling pretty true at medium-fast speeds. No real gimmicky greens at Hansen, with the exception of the 18th green that is pretty severely slanted and it all comes down to pin position on that hole if you're going to make a big number.

In terms of amenities, well, it's a bit of a mess right now at Hansen. The clubhouse is all boarded up and looks closed, but it's actually not - you just have to use the front entrance or the one near the first tee. The most convenient one by the starter's office (and at the turn) is closed off right now. Driving range is pretty good and has some covered stalls to keep the sun off of you a bit.

Overall I have seen and played Hansen in better conditions, but if you take the late, hot summer into account, then it's punching a little above its weight overall right now.

Finally got a chance to play here as weekend tee times for civilians are hard to come by. We finished in just under 5 hours with some waiting between holes. Not bad for teeing off at 3pm on a Sunday.

Finally got a chance to play here as weekend tee times for civilians are hard to come by. We finished in just under 5 hours with some waiting between holes. Not bad for teeing off at 3pm on a Sunday.

The course itself is very fun and a great layout. Tee boxes and fairways had excellent coverage. Unfortunately the players do not take care of it. Severe ball marks on nearly every green. I could easily fix 10 ball marks just in my own area. Rake the d%mn bunkers people. It's not just one person either, I saw multiple tracks and hit marks in every single greenside bunker.
