Course in good shape
The course is in good shape and we played in less then 4 hours. That's real good. The greens are a little bumpy and still have some small holes..
Give the greens more time
You could be hitting long down the middle and hitting greens in regulation, but it won't reflect in your score at Hansen Dam. Greens are taking unusually long to recover from the aeration, providing nothing but bumpy lies and bumpy lines on every putt. Forget about getting up and down for par or making a birdie. Its all luck right now with the amount of bumps and holes.
Great Course
Course nice, Golf Now discounts are great for this course
Hansen Dam Golf Course
Hansen Dam Golf Course is really nice. Just side to dam. Fan location. I will be play next time to.
Becoming slow as Griffith Park
Well, simply a 3+ hour front-9…it’s becoming very difficult to play an avg LA public course today within 4 hours or so. The game of golf was simply not meant to be played like this. But, considering the financial plight of the City, enforcing even reasonable time constraints is obviously too challenging.
For the golfer averaging 0-12 or so, and if pace of play is important to you, take my advice and look elsewhere.
It's Ok
Not a bad Course, but not a great course. The course was in ok shape with some bare spots but most of the fairways were in good shape. Greens were in good shape they were running about a 8.5 and consistent through all 18 holes. $50 for this course is a bit much, maybe $35 to $40 would be an appropriate price as there are many great courses priced a few dollars more with in a 30 mile radius.
All in all just ok.
decent public course
Nice place, long enough, can feel free to open up with your driver etc. Good driving range and chipping practice facilities.
Hansen delivers as usual
Overall great experience, as usual...Hansen is always dependable, in great shape, fun and the pace of play if you get out early is fine. Coffee shop and bar are 70s tired, not mid century cool, and there is no pro shop. Range is mats, but lighted. Course filled with regulars, since this is not exactly a chic part of LA. I am always amazed at the constant maintence crew activity all over the course, explaining why in the last 30 years I have never seen this course in poor shape.
fun course to play and we'll maintained
Can't wait to play this course again! I played on a slow day and finished in 3.5 hours. Would of finished sooner but caught up to a foursome. However, they played at a good pace. Fun course..long hitters truly have an advantage on this course.
Good public course in LA vicinity
Staff is friendly, the course is not too crowded and the course conditions were reasoable. I will come back again.
The Dam
Course was in Fair condition. The Fairways need a little more TLC but the Greens were in excellent shape especially after the amount of rain from the night before. Will play again and will recommend.
Billy goat coarse, use a cart..
Fairways a little rough, greens were excellent. Played with brothers who are local which was very helpful because the greens do not bend like they look.
So Cal golf
Perfect CoCal day with my cousin from MN! Unfortunately my cousin is left handed and HDGC only had one crummy partial LH set. Called in advance and reserved the set but didn't ask if it was decent. Tees were average, fairways fairly good and the greens were quite good. Fun layout except #1 and we had a blast.
Too crowded
I parked and saw 12 people on the first tee so I played at DeBell instead
Fun, scoreable course
Tee time was 10:52 Sunday., teed off at 11;06. Starter box was full. after 1st hole, there was 3 full groups waiting to tee off at the 2nd. I thought it was going to be a long day. Having played this course before I knew it would open up. from the 3rd on it was ready golf the whole way till the 18th. don't be wary of booking a tee time due to pace of play from other reviewers. Tee boxes were nice, Fairway was well kept along with green side and fairway bunkers and greens were rolling nicely, though my putting sucked so it didn't matter lol. Great day with buddy's and took most of the skins.
If you can find the hot deal .
Some of the wide open fairways . Playing there may help you gain your confidence and score .
Meh
Booking with Golfnow.com we paid $42.00 each with a cart. The course is very forgiving and has a nice layout, but it wasn't very challenging. Most of the holes are straight shots, with fairly wide fair ways and the greens are flat, but well maintianed. Most of the sand was soft with the exception of one hole, in which the sand was full of rocks (yeah, I ended up in that one). I just don't feel like this course was worth $42.00 dollars. Mind you that was the discounted price on a wednesday.
Dry out.
Course play tough because of the recent cold weather. .fairways were hard and dry. Greens were in good shape. This is my favorite city course by far.
El Hansen
El Hansen provided a solid golf experience. Course was in good shape from tee to green and the pace of play was steady. This is a nice LA Muni track. Recommended for better golfers.
