Greens are very bumpy right now. Course is in decent shape. Bunkers are have too much sand and are not raked. Not bad for a LA Municipal.

PLayed 3-4 times in the past week. Firstly not to stereotype or to be rude, but what is with most of these groups of "asian" golfers??? I know this is already bad. As most that I have played with were great fun, but this past week the knuckleheads were out. 3 seperate rants..... First rant- This is after my last round there Saturday. I was waiting in line to ask the starter if anyone had turned in my wool cap. So I'm next. The lady in front of me pays, finishes up after about 5 minutes of who knows what.... and I take a step and drop my cell phone about a foot in front of me. I take a step up and grab it and this asian guy jumped in front of me in the line, money in hand and handed to the starter. I loudly said "are you kidding me, you're just going to jump in front of me that way? ". Noone noticed. Well fine whatever, he's in a hurry to pay for his supertwilight and get first on the list or whatever. But here come 7 of his buddies, all jumping in front of me. Now I love the starters at Hansen but cmon. I even tried to ask a question by saying to him- Hey I just want to know if anyone... he said "hold on hold on." WTF??? Okay so that was rude- Rant 2 entails me playing as a single behind a 4 some of very bad asian golfers. I was off the greens before the first was teed off on the next hole. I purposely would go to make eye contact to ask if I could play through since there were only 5 holes open in front of them. Not once did they aknowledge me. So at number 4, they were on their way to the green, I decided to skip and play number 5. I finished number 5 and went back to number 4 where they were still putting. I flew by them on the next tee box. I just can't believe they didn't aknowledge me. This was Saturday also. Crazy. Well rant 3 is the worst of all. During the week both wednesday and thursday the group in front of me were asians. Now these dudes smoked liked crazy and though nothing of throwing their butts on the green. Whereever they were were butts all around. I watched them throw them in front of me. On the par 3s where I could see in front of them same exact thing. At least 1 smoker throwing a butt on the green. Some were left right by the hole!!!! Now like I said didn't mean to single out the Asian golfers at Hansen, but last week that's what it was. They have really invaded the course, and aren't repecting it, and that's the problem I have. Course is in decent enough shape. The greens are fast for a muni, and fairly firm. They are replacing the sand in most of the bunkers so lots of plugged lies for now, but the end result will be worth it. Definitely feels like beach sand. Greens stay pretty true in the mornings, but in the afternoons get fairly bumpy. Overall its in pretty good shape, with good pace. Not one of my rounds was over 5 hours, with 2 on Saturday in the rain being played in under 4 hours each round. This is my favorite LA city course.

I also hate their cart policy. You get penalized if you golf as a single. Basically they do a per cart fee. If you are by yoruself you pay the full 24 and get 5 bucks back. If you play not at twilight. Thats BS. Also they juice the carts only long enough to play 1 round. I didn't know this till my cart ran out of juice on the 3rd hole of the 2nd round. The guy was nice enough to charge me the twilight rate in the pouring rain, but still that's ridiculous! No wonder I normally walk. Total cost breakdown for playing 2 rounds on Saturday- 28.50 for each round so $57 there, 12 for the cart the first round (I split with the guys I played with), and 16 for the second. Thats 85 dollars at a muni!

Played Friday 2/17/06. Walked on and got out in 5 min. Course in OK condition. Greens muni fast, fairways OK, ruff needs work. Played behind k women, who were behind 3 men that were two and half holes behind!!! Only saw the marshal at the turn and at 18, what a joke. What ever happend to "keep up with the group in front of you?" These guys held the hole course and could care less. It must be nice to go up to your ball and not have to stand around for 5 minutes. Shame on you three and the course.

Played on 11/25 the Friday after Turkey Day and actually walked on and only had to wait $15 min. for a twosome. So the day started out excellent. Some spots on the fairways were overwatered though. It was only my third time on the course, but according to one of the guys playing it who plays it regularly it was in the best condition he has ever seen. I will be playing again here, and it was a overall a good time had.

Seriously over-watered. Many soggy areas roped off in the fairways. Greens very bumpy, very slow.

played nearly 5 1/2 hr round today. too many people think too highly of themselves on this course - thinking they can drive a green, hold everyone up, then hit 175 yds. At least I know I can't- you can still play fast and be a high handicap. Tee boxes still suck - divoted, uneven. Greens need heavy duty rolling and cutting. Course super needs to go out and check his crew's handiwork. Pretty ridiculous and bumpy even for a muni. Fairways deserve credit though. Greens were so bad that I would think twice about playing here next week

Course was in normal condition. Still don't get why every time I play the course the holes feel small, but at least one of the teaching pros I played with today felt the same way when he plays the course. I watched him shoot 5 or 6 under for the round, with 4 birds and an eagle on the back. Guess the hole isn't as small as it seems.

Played 9/9. Easy to get out as a single at 9 am on a Friday morning. Always a nice track to work on the stray driver but I was very dissapointed with the marshmallow greens. Put away the ProV's because you could hit low top flites into these things and they'll still hold. Also makes putting a chore when you have to make knee high pendulum swings just to hit a 25 footer. PLEASE CUT YOUR GREENS AND STOP OVERWATERING THEM!

5/29, HD is in decent shape. Course is very soggy so it plays longer than normal. Greens are in good shape (7 out of 10), fairways are decent and tee boxes are above average.
