What kind of spider is this? Is it dangerous to humans or animals??

What kind of spider is this? Amazing web builder. Orange buff in color. About the size of a nickle to quarter. Large massive web. California, off a golf course with lots of trees. Caught a bee and wrapped it in seconds. Discarded the carcass when he finished it off.

Orb spinning spiders are not usually dangerous to people or any large mammals. They just spin their webs and wait for the prey, inject a mild paralizing toxin into them, it doesn't kill them, it just puts them into a kind of coma so the spider can wrap them up and keep them fresh until it wants to feed on them. The little bit of toxin they put out is not enough to harm large animals. I still wouldn't want to stick my hand into one's web! I must say I haven't ever seen this hairy orange one, but just the orb web tells me it is not extremely poisonous to humans.
