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.

Literally the worst golf course you will ever play

I understand that for $45 including a cart, you can’t be too picky about which golf courses you’re playing. I just truly can’t understand how this golf course is allowed to stay operational. Almost every single hole is just dirt. Tee boxes are fine, greens are OK, but besides that it’s literally just dirt and I’m not really exaggerating. It is sincerely the worst golf course I’ve ever played, it’s an abomination to the game of golf, and under no circumstances should you play this course if you have ANY other option. If you are like me and are wondering why there are so many last minute tee times, that’s why. My advice? Forget about the last minute round you’re itching to play, and book a tee time in a few days. It’s not real golf, and you will regret your decision

Improving

The new GM is super friendly and has made a lot of improvements since taking over. While the fairways are not quite up to par, please know they are working on it. This course has a lot of potential. The greens are very nice.

Have the proper expectations

DO NOT play here expecting a regular golf course. There's a reason why it's so cheap, yet you can get a tee time pretty much whenever you like. Between being a weekday, the Hot Deal on the GolfNow app, and a tee time credit from GolfPass+, I paid $15 (cart included). I'm just getting back into playing courses, so this is perfect practice for me.

Terrible fairways

This was the first time playing the course, but was warned the fairways were terrible.. I didn’t want to believe it because the person who said the fairways were terrible played during COVID.. I figured they should be good by now .. I was totally mistaken and the fairways stiill were terrible with patches of grass every 30 yards were the sprinklers heads used to run.

You can see this course has so much potential if the city just put some time and money into restoring the course to what it used to be at one time.. The greens were well mainted which was the only plus..

The pic I attached only tells one story..

It’s a wreck

The most bombed out golf course that isn’t actually in a war zone is still fun to play. The grounds crew watching videos on their phones while they lurk in their tractors just close enough to the tee boxes and rev their engines in my back swing and the old timer chipping nine balls onto the green in front of me are just a few of the unique features of this course. This place is a monument to the concept that golf is the most fun you can have while angry. Use the scorecard as a map and make up your own rules because the USGA rules are effectively suspended after you lose a ball down a gopher hole in the middle of the first fairway.

Anarchy in the South Bay

The only thing worse than the course conditions is the absolute disregard for any of the USGA rules of golf and the most basic sense of golf etiquette by the lovely people who play here.

Wouldn't recommend to anyone

First off, the staff in pro shop, would rather talk to their colleagues than help U at the counter. The course was nothing but dirt fairways, greens were the only reason to finish the round.

Don’t Do It!!!

The tee boxes are not well manicured, the fairways have no grass so your hitting from rock hard dirt, the bunkers are also like hard dirt and the greens were so saturated the water would come out as you walked on them. The cart pat would have been a better lie at this place.

Fairways need attention

If it weren't for the fairways we would give this course an excellent rating. Lots of dirt, instead of grass. Could have played it like a desert course, but no grassy patches to aim for. The greens however were incredible, and probably the best we've ever golfed on, they were even "spongy".

As Expected For the Price

Horrible fairways; perfect greens. Best taken as a day of on-course practice.

Solo tee time at 9:30am. Got around in 3:30 even with extra chipping and putting while waiting for the next hole to clear. Bigest challenge is finding balls even when hit down the middle.

Victoria Dog Track

Victoria GC is a shadow of its former years. Highly neglected golf course that probably should have taken the deal years ago to sell, which I wouldn’t say lightly as much rather have more golf courses to play. However, Victoria is now not playable with no signs of coming change. At best if you want a place to just practice your swing and take extra shots on a live course, Victoria would be the place.
