About
The Links at Victoria Golf Course has a convenient location in Carson that is easily accessible from the South Bay, downtown Los Angeles, or Orange County. William Bell, the mastermind who crafted the Torrey Pines courses, also designed the Links at Victoria. The course has a traditional design that features wide, gently undulating fairways and large, well manicured greens. It's not an overly challenging course but there are some holes that will make you think and you'll find that accuracy and a good strategy are both generously rewarded. The wide-openness of the front nine provides a gentle start to the golf course while the tighter back mine presents greater challenges. It's a good round for learning beginners and more advanced golfers will find it to be a fun, quick round for an affordable price.

Construction site
Grass is available on tee box and green. Other than that you are hitting from an unpaved road. Carts are better than so many private courses but that's it!! I would not play here even if it's for free.

Please feel free to reach out to us with any further comments, concerns, or suggestions you wish to share. We would love to make things right if you give us another chance.
The worst
No grass on fairways. The bunkers were wet. The greens were ok. Staffs were terrible they did not even mention it and the restaurant was closed at 2 and couldn't even buy a drink.
I would like to get a refund.

No fairway
The only grass on this course is the tee box and the green. The “fairway” is littered with gofer holes so don’t put any open cans In the cart unless you want it to spill everywhere. Will not be coming back here again.

Don’t even bother
The course is in the process of basically waiting to close. They seem to have no idea when they’re actually shutting down the course (they seem to think it will be in 3 months or so, as of 11/14/22), and they’ve decided to do absolutely zero maintenance until they do. Barely any grass on the course, greens COVERED in rabbit droppings, and bunkers made of hardpan and mud. This was the worst golf experience I could ever imagine.

New Carts
Me and my friends play this course often and are not snobs when it comes to courses. It is what it is and we have fun playing it. The workers are all friendly. The now have some new golf carts for your pleasure. Please fix your divots on the greens.
Hello, u314160648715. Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at The Links at Victoria Golf Course. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!
Terrible experience!
This course is simply not playable. They should close the course until they finish serious repair on the course.

Nice
Greens good, staff friendly, course needs work but overall good course and layout
Thanks so much for the great review, Tom4592003. We look forward to welcoming you back to our course soon. Thanks for choosing The Links at Victoria Golf Course.
If you know to expect that it's mostly mud and dirt and then you pick and place it into a grassy area if you can find one for the price not bad just k
If you know to expect that it's mostly mud and dirt and then you pick and place it into a grassy area if you can find one for the price not bad just know that it is the worst course you'll ever play in your life but the layout is good the greens are a seven out of 10

Do not play here
I wish I would have listened to the reviews. This is the worse course I and either of my buddies have played at. Every topic I gave one star but I gave 5 stars to the pace of play because there was literally no one ahead or behind us because they knew better. The green is the best part of this course, everything was horrible. Course is literally dirt and gopher holes. Maps even shows an aerial shot of the course and it looks like a hiking trail or dump lot. Wish I could get my money back. Do not play here!!!

Horrible
Do not play this course. It’s being closed and there has been no upkeep. You are hitting on dirt.

Playing this course us like playing on the moon
Upon arrival to the course, I was informed that I may need to wait as they ran out of carts... at 0800 in the morning. I finally decided to walk the course rather than wait for a cart. Also, my tee time was supposed to include a meal and a sleeve of balls. I was offered nothing. I went to out and noticed that no one had teed off in the last 20 minutes as people were waiting for carts. As I stood on the tee box, I realized that there wasn't a fairway, just muddy wasteland filled with some kind of animal holes, weeds and no grass to speak of. The entire course should be staked off as ground under repair. Second shots from the fairway played like they were being played from a hazard. In the mud, in the dirt, in an animal hole, in a man-made hole or in the aggressive fairway weeds, shots from the fairway should be rewarded, here, they are not. I don't know what kind of burial ground this place is built on but the residents are obviously upset.
With all of that said, if you have never played this course, I encourage you to do so. Your friends will not believe the tales you tell when you return. Just do yourself a favor and wait for a cart. The terrain is more than challenging. Your ankles and knees will thank you. This was an unbelievable experience for all of the wrong reasons.

Careful! Could hurt something
Course is hard dirt/sand with gopher holes everywhere and your back is lost in the holes…in the middle of the fairway!
There is no grass in the fairways and you must hit of hard sand/rock.

Can't believe the condition of this course
I will never play this course again until a new owner takes over and maintains the place. From the tee to the greens it was just bushes and dirt. The greens were maintained but that's it. The worst golf course I have ever played.
