Went out as a single yesterday 3/5, a little before noon and finished a little after 4:00. Caught up to a pair of singles at the 8th green and continued with them. One quit after 11 and the other after 14. Maybe I need a stronger mouthwash? Actually they were good company, just had places to be. So I finished as a single. I hadn't been out at Hansen for awhile and I thought the overall conditions were pretty good. Tees were generally level and with good coverage. Fairways had some isolated areas of tight, browned out or mixed grasses but they were the exception to generally good coverage and decent lies. Rough was mixed but generally fair with some thin areas and some very thick spots—typical muni mix but good, as far as that goes. I was in two bunkers and they were smooth, playable and a touch on the firm side. Greens were firm, receptive, running the quick side of medium, and pretty true with a minimum of ball marks. I had no real complaints about the course—it was in better shape than my game—and it presented the opportunity for a good score and an enjoyable round.

Played on 2/1 with a mid-morning tee time. Played with a group. It took us about 4 1/2 - 4 3/4 hours to play 18. Not bad for a Saturday morning. Haven't played here in a while. What used to be the 10th hole is now the 1st hole. Pretty hard 1st hole to begin with an elevated green up the hill.

Course conditions was fair. The fairway grounds was so hard due to this drought we've been going through. Also the fairways were just so-so. There were a lot of bare spots with just dirt. The greens were in great shape tho' it was a little hard. I would hit the green but I didn't have to repair my ball mark. With the greens being so hard, they were running a little fast when I played. The sand was fair. This course is not an easy course to play. You have to deal with some hills on some of the holes. I wouldn't mind playing here again.

There is a driving range here hitting off mats but you are hitting down and then up a hill. It was a little windy the day we played.

Monday golf with my guys was fun here.
The number one was the 10th from what I remember back in the day.
$42 to ride was alright for a resident. :)
We were moving along, playing pretty fast, but caught the group in front
after about 4 or 5 holes and then it was a short wait each hole after.

The course conditions were pretty decent. I liked that the greens
rolled good and the fairways were ok, but I wasn't in any bunker
to have tested it, so I don't know.
We played the tips- some holes can be long.

Still love the what is now the back nine- The Billy Bell design.

First out Sunday morning as a threesome, 6:30 a.m. We finished in about 3 hours. Really decent conditions overall, except for some tee boxes that were overseeded, but not roped off. Fairways were lush, dry (we were walking, so that was nice), and cut nice and tight with good lies throughout. There was a discernable rough which was cut to about 1' to 1 1/2". Bunkers had an adequate amount of light colored sand, and greens were medium fast without any bumpiness. Not too bad for the resident walking rate of $40.

Played here on Oct 25. played in a tourney and I have played here several times before. Long and wide open is your basic description. Greens were in pretty good shape since they punched about a month prior. Tee boxes have never been in that great of shape here, fairways were green with pools of water in multiple spots on every fairway and it hasn't rained in weeks. They always OVER WATER this course. Needed to play lift and clean with mud covered balls in the middle of the fairway. Having said that the course was in good shape for the amount of play and lack of care other golfers take to repair their divots. Worth the $ and if you get out after 9am and before 1 you can get through in around 4 hours.

Teed off Tuesday at 7:15 and finished in 3:50. First time playing Hansen and was pleasantly surprised at the pace of play on the muni. Overall the course is in good condition. The greens rolled smooth at medium/fast speed and held shots. The fairways are good with only a couple minor spots. The rough was overall good with some fair areas. The tee boxes were good to fair. The bunkers (the only downer) were overly wet and the two I was in were not maintained well. I enjoyed the flat to rolling terrain of the course. The layout had a decent variety of short and long holes. I would play here again.

Went out today 10/23 as a walkup two-some a little before noon. Waited for a single to precede us on the first tee. Once he was on his way, he was out of sight after a few holes and we had no one within four holes behind us for most of the round. Overall, the course is in pretty good shape with some minor exceptions. The greens roll pretty true at a medium-on-the-quick-side speed but still have the last vestiges of the aeration pattern. Also, there were a handful of tee boxes on the front nine that were plugged and all the markers were grouped together at the forward end of those teeing grounds. The course is quite playable now, but give it a week to smooth out those last vestiges of aeration and it should be very nice.

Had not not played at Hansen Dam in a few years. Surprised that they reversed the nines. Do not know why, but really does not change my opinion of course. I have always liked the course, and considered it somewhat challenging, at least for a duffer like me.

Lots of dog legs, fairways are fairly wide, some long par 4s and a couple of challenging short par 4s. Lots of elevation changes.

Thought the course was in reasonably good condition.

The greens had been aerated about 1 1/2 weeks prior to our round. There was still some sand and holes on greens, but did not really affect my putting. A little bumpy and hard to judge speed.

Fairways in good shape provided good lies.

Pace of play was very good as we finished 18 holes in just over 4 1/2 hours.

Golf course personnel are very friendly.

I hope to play at Hansen Dam again sooner than later.

Played eighteen holes Apr18, 2013. Off as a solo around 645am and enjoyed a quick round. Greens had been aerated a couple days prior so that was a bummer.
Enjoyed the course overall. Decent shape and a lot of room out there. Wasn't sold on the first 2 holes but the remainder were fine. Lots of driver holes mixed in with a couple long irons and decent length par 3s. Friendly staff. Great outing at a Muni for very good price. I will go again
