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.

Golfer Reviews
Not worth your time.
Although course layout is links style and could be good, don't waste your time or money. Worst fairway conditions I've ever experienced at any course played. Hardly any grass, mostly dirt with a few patches of grass. Only positive were the greens.
Checking in at 9 AM on a Saturday and being told it was "pretty quiet" out there should have been my first clue! I guess bad news travels fast within the golf community.
Soo much potential
This course has soooo much potential! Why can’t the fairways look as good as the driving range? This course would be #1 in LA if it had some good fairways. Even decent ones would make this course the best in LA. Greens never disappoint. Pace of play was awesome. Just wish the fairways improved. Course site states they’re being worked on but having played this course every few months I can’t tell the difference.
Hi smenendez55! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
Stay away
I realize it’s a$20 public course but the fairways were half dirt, not dead grass but dirt!! Looks like they haven’t watered the grass for years!! Every shot lands on dirt/rocks and then you have to move it to grass if you can find any for your next shot. Do yourself a favor and play a different course if at all possible!!
** the pic I added was dead center of the fairest and you can see nothing but dirt from 150 yards and in

Shame
It’s really a shame that they can’t grow grass in the fairways in this dump because it’s a good layout and could be a great public course if they could figure out a way to grow.

Hello. Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon.
There is no grass, dirt for fairways.
The course could be fun if the was grass. Hit it in the middle of the fairway and end up on pure dirt, no grass. It was a complete joke. They have totally let the fairways and rough go bye bye. Greens were still nice.

Good greens and tee boxes
Bummer it’s on a landfill and they can’t get the grass to grow in the fairways. It’s a great layout, just needs grass

Not worth the green fee
Not worth the money. I wish I saw pictures before I booked here, completely falling apart and no one seems to care.

Walked off after 6 holes
Took 2.5 hours to play 6 holes. Lots of slow foursomes playing for 25 cents marking out everything and taking lifetimes on every shot. Can’t wait that long to play a dirt track
Not playing here again!
The course condition was horrible. Your ball will pretty much land on a dirt surface before you get to the green. I found myself constantly picking up my ball and placing it on patches of grass for my next shot. If you hit off the dirt surface you risk breaking a club or risking an injury. The bunkers have hard compressed sand in them. The price they charge for a round is ridiculous with that course condition. This course is only good for the driving range and putting greens.

Great beginning course
I heard this course had been renovated or updated with a nice driving range,which is great because they are disappearing at a fast pace..as for the course,the fairways are barren in many spots but you can hit from there.be careful to hit straight,although there is no water you will list balls in the weed area which runs pretty much throughout the course. now my son is getting into golf and this course is perfect for beginners very forgiving with fairly wide playing areas.and all of the greens are in great shape,I will play there again.
We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars. Please let us know if you ever need anything while you are here and we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
If only the fairways had more grass...
The layout of this course is really good. It’s such a shame that the fairways are in desperate need of work. The greens are immaculate and roll really nicely. Pace of play is okay considering there is no marshall.

low quality service in proshop, high member fee
Such a bad customer service in pro shop to members !
Michael Padilla was a very rude and had a bad attitude and made me so... upset.
I forgot to bring the member card, they don't give out the range balls even they know I am member and they have member names listed in the register systems.
A week before they make all the members wait for range balls to pickup balls. There was an hour delay.
They increased member fees to $60 instead $50 with out any notice.
Why is the member fee higher than others but a low quality of service ?
I dont understand why they are so mean to customers.

Dirt track.
This would be a beautiful course if it had grass instead of hard pan for fairways. Never seen a city owned course in all my travels this neglected. It is very hard to get your club on the ball when it is on hard pan between two clumps of grass in the middle of the fairway. I've heard of fairway hazards before but never the entire fairway a hazard. They should rent dune buggies in place of golf carts. You need shocks to drive across the fairways. Other then the poor course conditions, the brave souls that play there, the staff and facilities were Great. Not so great however to get me to waste $40 on again.

Dirt fairways
Muddy dirt fairways... excellent greens, but terrible fairways.
We're glad you enjoyed the greens despite the fairways. We are actively working to address your concern. We hope you'll give us another shot soon.
Hi u853479628. Thank you so much for the review. We are glad you had an incredible time and hope to see you again soon!
Great pace of play...
...because this course is in absolutely terrible condition and no one in their right mind should play this course.
