About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 71
Length 5608 yards
Slope 122
Rating 68.9

DeBell Golf Club in Burbank offers an 18-hole Regulation Course and a nine-hole disc golf course. The Regulation Course has a tight layout with narrow fairways and a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. Accuracy is the key to doing well on this golf course but it's not overly punishing. Its risk-reward holes will appeal to low and high handicappers alike. The front nine is fairly challenging but the back nine is where the golf course gets tough. Although DeBell Golf Club is short, only 5,608 yards from the back tees, the blind shots and winding doglegs make it seem much longer than it is. There isn't any water on the golf course but you'll hardly miss its presence with all the other hazards that lurk throughout.

Worth it!!

Challenging and fun course. Compared to courses in the area the lies and greens were superior. Took a long time for us to finish so be prepared for that. When I play this course again I will def be working on my putting beforehand. Overall the boys and I loved this course and had an exciting competitive round. Love how most of holes are hidden and you can’t really see anyone else on other holes when you are teeing off. For a course in the valley, there was a nice breeze and a lot of shade to beat the heat. Cart girl came around twice at the perfect times to allow us to cool off with Gatorades and waters. Will be coming back and recommend to anyone looking for a challenge.

Unplayable greens without warning

This is a strange course, lots of short dog leg holes that require less than driver off the tee. Tight fairways require precision with irons. The course was aerated when I played. Greens were literally unplayable (photo shows the "best" green of the day...). Some holes had an inch of uneven sand around the cup. There was no notice on the website about the aeration. Very disappointing, quit after 9 holes.

First time playing - solid course

Course was solid for the price. Good balance of proximity to my home, difficulty, and price. They had a beverage cart. And pace of place was decent but could have been better. I don’t see a starter or anyone riding around helping to improve pace of play. Be warned All of the holes dogleg

Pin placement

I’m a mid 80 handicap golfer. This is a super hard narrow couse with multi tier sometimes tiny greens.

Like it is not hard enough to reach them , the pin placement that day was placed for professional golfers

Just too hard to want to come back .

2 Stars and why!

They should tell you before you start that the course is under construction! Some tee boxes were not usable and had temporary tee boxes making a par 4 essentially a par 3! The greens for the most part were decent , however there were some greens in terrible shape and looked like they were recovering from a bitter cold winter, however we played in great weather at the end of October. We would have loved to play this course when it’s in prime shape, however the 80’s are well behind us for that to happen!

Cheers,

Jeff

Challenging Course but fun

This course is great unless your drives go left or right because there is so much out of bounds and easy to lose your golf ball.

I would recommend for those who want a beautiful view with some challenges.
