Victoria Golf Course

Fairway is 80% dirt & mud.

Bunkers are hard caked mud.

Greens - surprisingly - in good shape.

Will not return.

For all of those critics complaining about dirt, there is no question fairways are compromised. I've played there for years with 1 rule agreed amongst my group: move the ball to nearest patch of grass. Problem solved.

Victoria is always a last minute goto place to play. Don't expect country club conditions. Just expect a very good layout and pretty darn good greens.

Unfortunately the ground there never supported good grass. Believe me theyve tried with an almost a full year shutdown and complete refit a decade ago which only lasted a few years before going back to the old Vic.

If you need to play golf in a pinch, be glad there's a Vic close by to fill your void.

Came here knowing what I was getting myself into. If you can play here, you can shine anywhere else. Course can use a major overhaul, don’t mind the course if the rates were way way lower. Never lost so many balls all at once.... I’ll blame that on my lack of skill.... will I be coming back, most definite.

Not sure if it's due to Covid, but this course is in horrible condition. There are no fairways, just patches of dirt.. the bunkers are filled with rocks and it feels like you're hitting out of concrete.. tee boxes are filled with divots.. no yardage marks.. it's just horrible. I recommend they shut this course down for some serious repairs/quality control. The only bright spot were the greens and fringe were in decent condition. I'd rather play Encino/Balboa/Wilson/Harding tenfold.. Not worth the time and money. Sorry

Myself and some friends tried this course for the first time. The layout of the course is cool, however between the gopher mounds everywhere and the dirt fairways was disappointing. The only decent part of the course were the greens. The rough was more green than the fairways. This course has potential but definitely needs maybe some seeding and water! And a bill Murray type character to get rid of the gophers! Seriously though if they set off explosives in the ground there’s a chance you may not notice.Unless that’s addressed I will not go back to play again.

Honestly frustrating paying money to really never have a chance to hit a second shot from anyway . There’s hardly any fairway and it’s mostly dirt. If this course was well-maintained it could easily be one of the nicer courses around LA but it’s not. Sand traps have rocks and it’s packed down and just no chance to hit a good shot out of the bunker either.

Greens were in great shape and the practice range had great grass but not the course

Staff was very friendly and they have a bar and shop. But this course does not allow you to drive your cart to your car which is very inconvenient. The fairway and course in general is in terrible shape. There is more dirt, mud and gopher holes than actual grass. I will never play here again unless they do a complete landscape makeover. It made it driving the cart very bumpy and things would literally fall out of our carts.

$40 for those fairway conditions is a little steep.

The golf course needs a major overhaul. Fairway is completely damaged beyond repair. The was not a single fairway with enough grass to hit a ball. After teeing off the ball just ended up on a hard dirt surface. I hope the management will shut down the course and completely overhaul the course.

I would say about 40% of all fairways is barren dirt, no grass. If you can hit the ball decently, the landing areas for a par 4 or par 5 is guaranteed to be barren the entire width of the fairway. They have holes that aren’t labeled, so going from the green of one hole to the tee of the next is a crapshoot if it’s the right one. And they charged $40 for a course that isn’t 1/10th as good as some of the nearby small courses. Absolutely horrible and I would never go again.

Tee boxes were uneven, fairways were dirt, bunkers hard and greens were horrible. Nobody fixes divots there. Snackbar closed at the turn. Tons of tee times available.. now you know why.

Just horrible

No grass on fairway

Geee

Never going back

I played this course because it was the only course with tee time available on a Saturday morning. Once I got there I realized why there were no other takers. The course is very poorly managed and grass was almost none existent on the fairways. Greens weren’t too bad but more than half the time I was hitting from the dirt to get there. The course needs to be taken over by a professional management team and a major upgrade is needed.

Simply not maintained. Literally no fairways. 80% hardpan. Decent layout, otherwise a bust given the way it's not msintained

This course has seen better times. Great routing, and could be a really nice course. They have really let this course go. Greens are fine, the rest of the course is ridiculous. NO grass in the fairways. Course maintenance is a foreign word for this course. Sad! You would be better off playing in a Vons parking lot. Same lies, but at least you can get something to eat and drink.I have played here many years.....NEVER AGAIN!!! They needto fix this, or blow it up. Save your money and book ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!

I drove out 40 mile to what thought was going to be a great experience at a links course. I have never played at a golf course with the most horrible fairways full of dirt and mud !! The invite golf course is full of gopher holes which I was not told at the pro shop when I paid for my teatime I lost nine balls in the middle of the fairway going in gopher holes very disappointed to play that golf course I don’t recommend it to anyone and I don’t understand how it could still be open with such an infestation of golfers on the property all the Vegetation on the property has been eaten up and is dried up because of the infestation of gophers what a horrible place to play this golf course is stealing peoples money by allowing play on it still I will never ever play that course again and I will tell all of my friends about it that place sucks Unfortunately I did not take any pictures because I was too busy looking for my ball in the middle of the fairway having to pick up my ball set it on a patch of grass so that I was able to put it on the green this is a joke that this place is open close this place down horrible horrible place to play horrible. I am actually thinking of going back to play just to take pictures and put them on another review I am not kidding you advertise this place as a links golf course it’s a joke triplane Rustic Canyon that’s a links course and well worth your money don’t ever play at this golf course it’s sucks don’t waste your money people

The worst course I have ever played on! There is more dirt then grass on the course and it is hard dried up dirt not from people chunking the ball. The course needs major work and is not even close to worth the 45$ they charged to play with a cart.

Fairways are dirt roads with potholes all-over, and that's being nice. It is apparent they never attempted to maintain the fairway or rough, all water used on the course is used on the tee boxes and greens. Both the tee boxes and greens were damp and oversaturated while the rest of the course appeared to have not had water besides rainfall ( in LA that's never enough) for YEARS. The fairways look like the drive to Vegas dry, rocky, sandy, no grass in sight. Then you see the Oasis of a green then you feel the green slushing beneath you and you think does this place even have groundskeepers? What a waste of money and cause for great frustration.

This course has never been very good. But this is worst condition I have ever seen it in.
