Teed off just before 8, on time and no complaints at the pro shop/starter area. As typical the course started out really wet but by the 9th hole the sun came out and there wasn't a drop of water on the course. The greens were a bit bumpy and there was a lot of sand that would stick to your ball and putter, not to mention so many brown marks from poorly repaired divots. The sand traps were in really good shape, all were recently raked and moderately fluffy. Pace of play was fine at about 4.5 hours, as expected. My only real complaint was that the rough was so inconsistent. Some areas were really thick and others were cut just like the fairways. I lost three balls just off the fairway because it was really hard to see your ball unless you were standing right over it. I'd play here again but wish there were a cart girl for the $43 I paid to walk.

Played Hansen at 8:30 on Friday and never heard a course say "no carts today". I guess they were switching to new electric carts on the 1st of the year and their current supplier took his carts back on the 30th not 31st. No carts = a lot of walkers = people slowing down by the 9th hole. The round took over 5 hours but I expected that without carts. The greens were very odd, some had tons of break and others were perfectly flat. Fairways and tee boxes weren't bad. With recent rain, the bunkers were like wet cement, very thick. The course really does not do a good job of maintianing these traps, they hadn't been raked in a few days.

Nothing bothers me more than paying $40 to walk a course and have it be in worse shape than course I pay $50 with a cart. All of the county/city courses seem to have been slacking recently with their maintenance and customer satisfaction. You would think that with so many people walking they'd have a cart girl to refresh us with Gatorades, Bud Lights, and hot dogs - there was not a single cart girl all day. This course was convenient because I live near it but I would not jump at the chance for another 5+ hour round with poor bunkers and no on-course beer service.

Played at around 8:30 today and the course was in better shape than I expected. Cart path only and about 3X as many ponds as normal from the recent rain but it wasn't that bad to walk. Finished the round in about 4:40 without ever having to wait for the group in front of us or having anyone hit into us. The course was wet and the air was windy but I was depserate to get in a round on my week off. Surprisingly the bunkers were not puddled and played as if there was only a light sprinkle. The greens were a bit soggy but that only slowed putts down a tiny bit. The biggest problem was the wind but I hear it's not typically windy there. Tee boxes were in really good shape too.

Played here on Friday, 11/12/10. The weather showed around 15-20mph winds and that is not what this course needs. The front nine is on top of a mountain with many blind tee shots but the back 9 is very traditional with incredible greens all around. The course has very narrow fairways and several bends. I would compare this to Angeles National, Lost Canyons, Robinson Ranch, and Rustic Canyon. Using a 3rd party site I was able to get a tee time for cheap, like $51. Unfortunately I got paired with two bozo's who spent more time looking for golf balls than actually playing, making for a very frustrating round. Had it not been for them and the weather I'd give this a 9/10 but minus one for each and it is 7/10. I'd play Rustic Canyon before coming back here but it was good to get Tierra under my belt. After all, it was only a practice round for an Arizona trip in a week.

Had a boring Saturday so I decided to make it a fun Sunday by going goilfing. Called Hansen Dam at 8am but it was booked solid until 11:30 so I called Harding (as a single player). The guy said I will have no problem if I get there by 9:45. I showed up around 9 and actually got to play by myself 5 minutes later. The course was pretty dead. It was overcast and misting lightly but $40 to walk by yourself and hit 2-3 balls per hole was a good deal. The starter said that since the $5 rake hike in July the place has had about 30% less business which I like because I can finally play here under 6 hours.

The tee boxes are standard for LA courses, not perfect but level at the very least. Fairways were in good shape despite the really wet ground (not Harding's fault). The blues and white tees are practically the same here so I played blues. Greens had a lot of unrepaired divots but luckily none in my way. I have fun at this course whenever I play and today was true. The course is just average but for a sunday golfer that is all I need (not going pro until next season).
