Played Hansen Dam Today, Besides playing with Steve Guttenberg,Greens were in great shape not bumpy at all, Fairways were in fair condition. I would say for this years dry spell for a City Course it is in pretty good shape. Worth the Money

As previously stated, greens were good, but everything else was just okay. When I played on 8/22/07, pace of play was very slow. My group ended up waiting 10+ minutes at each tee box waiting for the group in front of us to clear the area. It's not their fault either as they are waiting for the group on front of them to clear also. Overall, an okay course to put into play between the valley rotations.

The greens were running pretty true for poa.Faster than the Sepulveda courses for sure.Putts rolled true without much jumping.Too bad the bunkers don't get the same respect.Does anyone rake bunkers there?!New irrigation system would greatly improve the course.Still,pretty fun place to play.

Greens were great ! but the overall condition of the course was poor , this course is definitly overlooked by the City Of Los Angeles .

"Great" ???? 7.51 rating ???? I fully admit, it's been quite a long time since I've played any muni golf - but "Great" ??? That is HARDLY an adjective I'd choose for Hansen Dam G.C. The fairways were "just O.K." (at best) - the greens are "recovering" from a recent punching (the putted balls were jumpin' and jivin' - and those in our group were wailin'!!) and were uncomfortably lumpy. The golf cart we were given was the equivalent of a 1973 AMC Gremlin - on it's last legs and pulled badly to the right - the "suspension" was shot and it died on us several times. There were bare-spots both in the fairway and in the rough. The rough itself was uneven. It was like groundskeepers would just haphazardly be mowing along...and then stop. Very spotty work. I have always tried to be fair when rating courses on Greenskeeper.org . If something deserves praise - I'll be the first one to post. If something needs to be fixed, I'll certainly mention it in a review. Most of the problems I had with the place are beyond anything the staff at Hansen Dam can take care of. The problem seems to be the players. Although there are ample trash cans throughout the course...I must have picked up 20 pieces of trach from various bunkers, fairways, tee-boxes, etc. I was in two bunkers all day...and while the quality of the sand was just fine (better than Goose Creek's!) - both times I had to hit out of a deep footprint. I don't think I've ever seen so many un-raked bunkers on one course in my 35-years of playing golf in Southern California!! Honestly, I fixed a minimum of FIVE deep ball marks on every one of the greens. A person could fix FIFTY if he wanted to...there'd be no problem finding that many.

You know, I guess it is what it is. Muni golf. I don't mean to sound snobbish...but "Great" is not a word I'd ever use to describe this track.

Good things?? Hmmm. Well...I guess the price for greens-fees was about right. And the bar has Stella Artois beer on tap...and it was cold.

I'd have to be awfully desperate to go back to Hansen Dam any time soon

Was heading over to Knollwood to meet a buddy to play,but got stuck in Los Tunas Canyon fire freeway stoppage and couldn't make the 3:20 tee time. When the traffic started filtering through about 1.25 hours later, I headed over to Hansen Dam and walked right on as a single, paired with a couple of guys who were self-admittedly a little drunk, bad golfers, but not the worst company. They needed tees, and I offered/gave them some of mine, and they gave me a new sleeve of balls as a thank you.
Pace was a little slow, but even. I putted out the 18th with the moon up and just enough light to read an 8-foot putt for par (left it short). Fairways were thicker than the last time I played here. Last time they were firmer with a lot of roll, this time less roll but better lies. The greens looked like they may have been punched in the not-to-distant past. They were a touch slower and not as smooth as I recall, but they generally seemed to roll pretty true and the missed putts were mostly pilot errror. It's a good solid muni with a decent amount of variety to the holes at a good price. Generally easier than a lot of courses to get out on.

Great course. One of the most underated courses around! You can pretty much get out here & Woodley Lakes without a tee time. Even on weekends the wait isn't bad compared to many other local courses. Used to be a member of the Men's Club here. Don't bother joining here! Switched to Woodley's club. Much, much. much better. Far more organized. No constant b$tch ing & complaining in this club. Great lunch buffet at Hansen Dam though! Clubhouse/bar much better at Hansen Dam. Woodley's clubhouse/bar is a major RIP OFF!

Interesting course. Got some up & downs, both wide and narrow fairways. Played for about 4.5 hours on a weekday morning, which is alright. The only complain that I would have is that they water the... Continue »

Interesting course. Got some up & downs, both wide and narrow fairways. Played for about 4.5 hours on a weekday morning, which is alright. The only complain that I would have is that they water the fairway during our playing time. Almost every hole has some sprinklers on, and some of them just happen to be in the middle of the fairway so that it is really inconvenient if the ball landed in the sprinkled area. Not even mentioning some spots are really muddy because of the water. But over all the course is not bad for $22 walking price. Would certainly go there again.
