Hansen Dam Golf Course

The course is wide and forgiving. Good for higher handicap players learning their clubs. Still presents challenges from the back tees for mid handicap players. Fun layout, larger course at 6600 yards. Course maintenance is definitely on the better side for a city course. Overall great place to play. Be forewarned Hard to get tee times and pace can be slow due to new golfers being frequent.

The course is in good shape and the greens are in excellent shape and running fast. The layout is very friendly and if your in the fairway you have a great lie also the ruff is not to bad to come out of. All in all a very fun course to play.

Have played this course many, many times in my group but have made it clear that I no longer want to golf here any more. This course just isn't fun for me. First of all, aesthetics are lousy. It isn't a pretty course and its surrounding area is hardly the best. Not much visually satisfying here.

Second, if you hit about 200-210 off the tee (as I do), too many holes are tough to reach in regulation from the blue tees and probably a half dozen or so are from the whites also. This is complicated by the fact that fairways are often shaggier and the roll isn't good, particularly in the winter and spring. Third, , have found the greens to be periodically in bad shape. Don't find this to be maintained as well as Encino or Balboa. Finally, too many blind shots to greens for my taste - notably 8,9 ,10, 11, 16. Without a good visual reference of the landing area you have to work with on the green, it's just firing an approach shot to those holes and hoping it's not too long or short. Admittedly, these are personal issues, and many longer hitters or golfers who enjoy the challenges of blind shots to greens won't feel the same way about this course as I do.

Poor pace of play for a Thursday mid morning. Me and my buddy were paired with two high handicappers ( awesome young ladies) but were still constantly on the group ahead. The greens were still showing some aerification healing which I can deal with; the masses of un repaired ball marks, that’s a dang shame. Tee boxes decent, fairways good, cant comment on the sand.

Cannot wait to come back. Large course and room for error but also challenging to a degree.

Played here for the first time today. I was really surprised by the quality of the layout and overall playability. The green were aerated but coming back. I’ll return. .
