Played on 4/1/07, and course was in good shape. Smooth greens and lush fairways. Hansen Dam is a fair test of golf, especially for a City course. Good mix of short, long holes. Not terribly difficult - there is enough room off the tee and the bunkers are shallow. However, when the greens are smooth as they were today, it can be tricky to read the subtle breaks and judge the effect of the nearby dam. Good value!

Played Hansen Dam for the first time as a two-some today, Wednesday, 2/14, with a 12:00 start. Wide open for the first holes until we caught up to the group in front at the 4th hole. Long back up at the 5th tee and crept along through 9th. Sped up to a good even pace after that so it was a 5-hr round. Generally breezy, gusty conditions that factored into some of the shots and clubs selection. The dry fairways with decent coverage and a lot of roll are generally on the wide side, so the course has an open feel to it. Usually a reasonable shot at minimizing damage if you get off line. Most of the course is on the flat side, but there are a few holes with some altitude changes and the second shot on the par-4 10th is straight uphill. Overall, I thought the greens were in very good shape for a public course and I was generally impressed with the condition of the tee boxes as well -- mostly very level and good coverage. I definitely recommend it among the public/lower cost tracks as worth a look.

Played here on Friday, January 26. Tees and greens in great condition. Fairways and rough were dormant kikuyu and bermuda grass. I saw several areas of rough where maintenance crews were watering, but fairways were nice and dry allowing shots to seemingly run forever. Greens were soft, smooth and generally free of ball marks. It took the usual five hours to complete the round.

Play 11/25/06. First time playing this course. Long and wide fairways. You won't have much problems with your driver even you have slice or hock shots. Very forgiving golf course. 10th hole is short 300 yds par 4 hole but green is on a up-hill. Even you hit a nice drive, your ball might roll down back to 10 yds mark. Careful how you hit it and take up an extra club to reach the green. Fairways are good and greens are above average. Pretty long course - 6717 yds. For $40.50 with carts, this is good course to visit once a while. Not much challenging holes... kind of plain course.

Played today (11/19). Greens are totally healed and probably rolled 10+ in many cases. Fariways in great shape. It's also been resloped. It's now 121 from the blues.

My favorite LA Parks course. Due to recent airation the tee boxes & greens were a bit off. Other than that it's very nice.

Played here on Oct. 6th. Pace of play was typically slow, but not as bad as I have seen it; the round lasted about 5 to 5 1/2 hours. We were called to the tee about 10 minutes earlier than our 10:00 tee time. Greens were in nice shape, rolled true and were virtually free of excessive ball marks. Fairways had some wet spots (roped off, for the most part), probably due to irrigation not being dialed back enough for the recent cooler weather. Having visited a couple of sand traps it was nice to note newer, lighter sand (12 and 13 greenside). Rough was green, lush and mowed with most of my drives sitting up nicely in that bermuda/kikuyu mix.

This was the first time I played Hansen Dam. Good overall course. My foursome & I will definately be back. The middle of some of the fairways were alittle brown. This summer was pretty bad heat wise so it may go with the territory. Two things bothered me: 1) The credit card machine was down & they didn't bother to tell anyone until they got to the window (no signs posted) & 2) The gree fees are paid at the starters window & then you have to go around to the back to pay for the cart seperately. So we had to scramble for cash 2 times for 1 round. Good course all in all.

Played here today and that story of two golf courses holds true.

While I wasnt impressed with the front 9 I loved the back 9. Great views and I live a course with elevation changes.

Greens were in great shape, these guys really do a good job fixing them up.

Snack shack is pricey but its a short walk from the 4th tee to the 7-11 on the corner :).

Played at 11am, finished at 5:30. No backups, the place was empty, no one in front, no one behind me so I took extra shots and spent lots of time practicing my putting on each green.

Definetly going here for a quick 9 holes on my short play days.
