Pace of play/conditions

I’ve played Hansen Dam many times. This was by far the longest round I’ve played there. Took nearly 5 hours. Waiting on every hole since hole 1. And we weren’t out of position, the course was just jam packed like I’ve never seen. With 10 minute tee times, there shouldn’t be a group on every green, fairway and two groups on every tee-box simultaneously. Course conditions were not as good as usual also. Greens had been punched probably a month (which has to be done so no fault there but worth noting) got some unnecessarily punishing lies due to squirrel burrows or overgrown clover around the greens. Any one or two of these could have been overlooked but the combination added up to what felt like less of a good deal than usual.

Early morning round at Hansen Dam

Whilst being in LA for work at Burbank, I wanted to get some golf in and booked an early tee time at Hansen Dan

The Green Fee was only $33 including Buggy and I was joined on the first tee by 3 other golfers

The course was in good order and the holes were varied with some challenging Par 4's and 5's.

Some stunning scenery and crossing over to the 10th and passing the Dam was spectacular.

Overall I enjoyed my round at Hansen Dam and met some great guys to play with.

Here are my thoughts on Two aspects that would help improve the Golf Club

1. By adding in a Tee box the clubhouse side of the Dam to then hit over would add to the experience (You might lose a few balls that could be collected in a net in the channel) Re sold as Lake Balls

2. Pitch Mark Repairers - I was surprised that the Club shop did not sell these and unfortunately a lot of players who play here are oblivious to repairing a pitch mark. The greens are fantastic and a pleasure to put on running true with lots of breaks. The issue being the 20-30 pitch marks on every green that no one repairs. The players need to be educated but if they can't buy or be given a Repair tool what chance have you got.
