Best Municipal course in the Valley

I have played all 6 Municipal courses in the SFV and in my opinion Hansen Dam is the best. Course conditions were great, the scenery is beautiful and it is a very open and expansive course. There are a few holes that are semi-challeging, but for the most part easy wide open fairways and tight lush greens.

great course, but check in is always a struggle

love this course, open and spacious and well taken cared of... however the check is always leaves me with a frown, the staff here are super unfriendly and they think they own the course. they get paid by the city and it should reallly be a friendly atmosphere but i don't know why the people that work here are so rude with a stiff neck. they like to boss you around and try to make check in as unpleasant as possible. One time the dude told me i was late and that one more minute he was going to give my spot away.. i was 10 minutes before my tee time! he said i rule is 15 minutes... sheesh... aside from that i love golfing here

Be careful to read all disclosures and fine print

Nowhere on the site was it noted that the greens were aerated. Additionally if you prepay with a cart included be aware that you will be asked to share a cart with another foursome member. Regardless if you know the person or not. I was shocked to find that the other rider was just getting over being sick and I asked to have individual cart only to be asked to pay an additional 16$ dollars. Unhappy with the callus response from the staff.

Green condition

I played a round with a friend after a long time, but it was so bad that the green was sanded. I was completely disappointed and came back after playing golf without any fun. However, the course layout is good

Greens were beat up and slow. The combo of ball marks and maybe some fungus was no good. Pace of play decent. The tee boxes they repaired are looking much better. The fairways were good and the bunkers varied. Some firm and one another very soft. Some standing water on the course due to recent rains.

Cold and windy with hail flurries!

Brrrrr! It blew 30mph AND snowed some hail with it, but the course played surprisingly well. Yes there were some wetter spots but the course is fine. Greens were really good, except on a couple holes like 2, where they could have put the pin in a spot that doesn’t have all the indented damage from dead grass due to fungus.
