Hansen Dam Golf Course

Very surprised at condition of the course. Excellent shape, considering drought conditions here in CA. Fairways and greens are great. Staff friendly, 3.5 hour round.

I'm a 16 handicapper, playing from the white tees was 6000 yards. I enjoyed it.

Wide and flat, with tree lined fairways. Little expensive - $42 (plus $4 extra as single rider, plus $2.50 golf now booking fee) w/ cart weekday is kind of pushing it value wise.

Played on a Thursday afternoon. Done in four hours and that was with waiting to hit every tee shot and approach shot. Fairways are wide, but very little roll...they hold a LOT of moisture. Greens are smooth and true, but they are sticky and slow. Once you get used to the speed..everything breaks away from the Dam! You will use every club in your bag if you play from the blue or black tees. The hills create a challenge, especially if you are walking in the heat. Play this course a lot, so...local knowledge helps.

Easy holes yet hard ones as well makes for a great day of holf

I hadn't been to the course in years and am now asking myself why. From the get go the staff was very friendly. Play was slow, so they allowed me to go out by myself. I never had to wait to hit. The greens are as good or better than any other public course in Los Angeles.

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..

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.

Course nice, Golf Now discounts are great for this course

Hansen Dam Golf Course is really nice. Just side to dam. Fan location. I will be play next time to.

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.

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.

Nice place, long enough, can feel free to open up with your driver etc. Good driving range and chipping practice facilities.

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.

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.

Staff is friendly, the course is not too crowded and the course conditions were reasoable. I will come back again.

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.

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.

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.

I parked and saw 12 people on the first tee so I played at DeBell instead

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.

Some of the wide open fairways . Playing there may help you gain your confidence and score .
