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.

Good greens, bad fairways

Greens are good but fairways are disasterous. There is barely any grass on fairways and they are full of dry, hard patches. They have been this way for a very long time and course staff should really consider redoing fairways and cutting all the nasty bushes all around the course.

Otherwise the layout is great and it could be one of the best courses around.

We are in the process of getting new turfgrass, but it is not as quick as hope due to infrastructure issues under the surface with drainage and irrigation. However, with plans in place with new specialized equipment and capital funds to improve drainage, better turfgrass growth on fairways is ahead

So-so course

I played after rainfalls. The drainage was the not good and course layout was so and so even with Annie's contribution to the course. As the course is close to highways, you gotta be numb to noise coming from speedy traffic on highways. If you want walking, it's good.

Good Course Bad Fairways

Wide open for my driver and the greens are ok. But the fairways are mostly dirt and mud. Way too much mud and not enough grass. Did I mention the mud?

They just put in a very nice driving range. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The small cafe is good. I like the putting green and the chipping area. But the fairways are mostly dirt and mud. I think every hole.

I prefer going most anywhere else, but golf here when invited.

Lots of Dirt where the fairway should be

I had never played this course before but for $35 on a Friday morning didn’t seem like too bad of a bet. Unfortunately I learned very quickly that there is not one fairway on that course that does not have big patches of hard dirt. Surprisingly the greens were in very good shape and had enough undulation to make putting a serious challenge. It’s a shame the rest of the course isn’t taken care of as well as the greens. I would recommend taking the money you spend here and put it towards the green fee of another course that actually has green grass.

Don’t waste your money here

Course is in terrible condition. Most of the fairway is dead grass or simply dirt. 2/5 of the course is too dry, 2/5 of the course is over watered/standing water type conditions, 1/5 of the course is in average condition.

Took 3 hours to play 9 holes for an 11:15 yee time.

Quit after 9 due to pace of play and terrible course conditions.

Fairways have seen better days

The course layout is great and the lengths are wonderfull. The fairways need some significant work with many areas muddy or lacking grass completely. Its frustrating to hit from mud after a great tee shot. Greens are in great condition and run well. Bunkers need some attention but okay overall.

This course is good but needs maintenance

This is my second visit & was disappointed. The fairways have so many dirt spots. We had to move our ball on certain occasions because the dirt was so hard & could damage our club. There was an incident where after the ball hit the ground & moving forward it hit something hard and the ball ricocheted to the left, not cool. My balls had scratches on it.

I just hope they would maintain the golf course. I like the wide & friendly golf layout. The staff were super nice.

GREAT COURSE FOR QUICK 18

If you like to finish 18 holes in a good pace this course is the best and quickest to play and it has a decent lay out. Just place the ball on some grass if you are in the dirt patches.

No Expectations

If you are looking to get your golf fix and have no other place to play, then this is the place. The driving range is the best feature on this course. The fairways are gone because I hear they are letting them go because of pending redevelopment of the land. It's too bad because it's a great central location.

Not much fun.

T boxes and greens in good condition. Grass in the fairways pretty sparse. Lots of hard dirt, mud in the low spots, lots of bumps and holes. Great grass on the driving range! Too bad the fairways don’t look that way.

Poor conditions. Lots of hard pan...A LOT!!! Very bumpy fairway, so that makes the rough only worse. ATV would be better than a golf cart. So sad because the potential to be a very outstanding golf course is there.

Improving

I have played this course a number of times. The course keeps improving little by little, but it is still built on a landfill so there is not much more they can do. There was a real back on the first tee today - but the starter did an excellent job of breaking up the back up while still getting people out as close to their start time as possible. Very impressed with his handling of the situation. He also makes sure that walk ins get out as well. Job well done!
