Worth the Trip
This LA municipal course was worth the trip for my brother and who drove up from Encinitas. After just one round I can easily say it’s in my top 3 favorite city courses.

Very good muni
In the past I’ve shied away from Hansen Dam mostly due to hole 10 which plays across a steep valley. Today I hit driver and birdied it. The fairways tees and greens were in very good condition especially considering the amount of play. The bunkers were raked. We played in 4 hours. The value is excellent. Recommended.

Hansen Dam Golf Course
With California feeling the affects of a long term drought golf courses like Hansen have figured out ways to water enough to keep fairways and greens very playable.
