Victoria Golf Course

Fun no crowd good greens fairways need some work but probably from water shortage

Worst golf course I have ever stepped foot on - never again.

This course was suggested by a friend. I went into the pro shop and the guy there was very nice and helpful. Played all 18 and after 4-5 holes in realized the course is so awful that it was just not an enjoyable experience. This course was built on top of an old landfill and hardly has any grass. Laughable playing conditions. I hate to write negative reviews, but this is truly deserved. Do not waste your time and money. $40/ per person? Very disappointing. this course just looked abandoned. Sad...

Played here last month and the greens were in the best shape I have ever played on . Today they must have punched them last week , much slower ! I hope they can get them back to what they were last month ! Fairways need a lot of help but if they can get those greens back to the best I have ever putted on , this course is a must for any golfer!

By far in the worst shape of any course I've played in years! Dirt fairways, weeds abound... No driving range, no raked bunkers. A total waste of your money! Should be closed..

I arrived as a single and was sent out 20 minutes after I checked in.Friendly staff and starter.The driving range is closed supposingly under repair.The fairways are in terrible shape but the area around the greens are in great shape.What makes this course worth its value are the greens. I think there in the top 5 of all the courses I played in the last year.

Fairways are in very poor condition, tee boxes not better. Greens are excellent. Some good long holes that would

challennge any golfer. All in all, you get what you pay for.

Fairways have gotten better past few years. Range is currently closed and getting makeover...used to have grass range.

I have played hundreds of courses all over the world, from the best kept resort courses to the five dollar local 9 holes. The Links at Victoria is by and far the WORST course I have ever seen.

There are virtually no fairways here. I don't mean that they're small or narrow, I mean they don't exist. They are 80% dirt, 15% crab grass, with 5% of mown lawn sprinkled in (see the attached pictures.) Top that off with EXTREMELY dry ground (I don't think they have sprinklers, or a grounds crew,) so most shots feel like hitting off of concrete.

You're better off aiming for the rough, as you might have a chance for a decent lie. I honestly can't believe they get people to come here!

The tee boxes are junk. Mostly overgrown crab grass and weeds. Almost all of them are not level.

The greens are actually pretty decent given the rest of the course conditions.

The pace of play here is horrific. I played with a buddy, and we were paired with a third, who was very pleasant. I wish I could say that about the group behind us, or the group in front of us.... Nearly everyone we encountered was not very nice. Who can blame them here?

Our threesome finished in 5 hours and 20 minutes on a day where the tee sheet was pretty open.

The golf carts are old and rickety. I was pretty sure my clubs were going to be damaged from the rough ride - of course the course itself didn't help that. Luckily no damage, but I would recommend walking (bearing in mind I do not recommend playing here.)

The only good thing to come out of today was the pro shop employee. He was very friendly, and attentive.

In conclusion, run. RUN FAR IN THE OTHER DIRECTION AND SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Greens are in good shape. Fairways are horrible

The last time I've played here was 3 years ago because of the fairway condition so I took some friends out to give it another shot this time it was still bad as it was,such a beautiful laid out course and I hate to see a local course in this condition,I'm not sure what's going on with the fairway but the green is in imaculant condition only if they can put some effort on the fairway

Sure, the pace of play is slow. Holes are pretty much straight forward. Minimal elevation changes and greens are predictable. But, it's golf. And, it's practical golf. There are some long holes (par fours 400+ yards# and then there are some short holes #reachable par fives). This is a ho hum course, but it's golf and it's LA golf. And, for the price, this course is a pretty good value.

It was better than what I expected. First time to play there. Facility is outdated but it was great to play.

The driving range is still under "renovation" yet there's never any work being done on it.
The fairways are patchy with mud spots,but for the price it's ok.

Walked the Blues (71.8/123/6804) on 9/17 with Stickboy & RGM2525 in 3H, 50M on their standard afternoon walking rate of $29 on a hot, breezy day. First time I had played here in at least 25 years, always enjoyed the layout.

The tees were decent, mostly level, good coverage with only a few areas of unrepaired divot damage.

The fairways were as advertized in prior reviews, hit and miss. Many had significant, fairly lush areas. However, there were way too many thin or hardpan areas for them to be considered close to good.

Same for the rough. It was often lush near the fairway, then in the areas they were not concentrating as much watering it was thin, weeds or hardpan.

The traps were poor overall. I was in several, seemed like a Palm Springs course in the wind mill section where the fine sand had blown away and there was only hard packed sand left. OK along the fairways for full shots, not so good around the greens however.

Speaking of the greens... they were excellent! Smooth, firm, medium fast with few ball marks. Some of the best greens I have putted on recently. Easily the best part of the course.

The course layout has always been good. The course conditions from tee to green are below average in almost every regard. However, the greens are well above average, they far exceeded expectations.

The customer service from the Pro Shop to the Starter to the Marshall coming by with cold water was excellent. Enjoyed the trip down memory lane as I played here often back in the 1980's when I lived closeby. However, until they get more consistent grass on the fairways, I would only play here on a deal even with excellent greens if I lived closer.

I'm on the fence If I will play this course again. I got a good deal last weekend so I played it for the third time. Once again the greens are fantastic and challenging, these greens will prep you for harder courses. Pretty much every other aspect of the physical course is horrible. I heard something about this course having been built over an old dump.. that may keep the fairway grass from growing properly. More often than not your ball will be on hard dirt in the middle of the fairway...when you go out the started tells you to just pick up your ball an move it to the nearest patch of grass(which is usually still dirt with a few weak blades of grass poking through. This course has potential if they ever figure out why the grass won't grow on the fairway. Give it a shot, bust most people I know wouldn't want to play a course in this condition.

Closed driving range was supposed to remodel but it never happened. Fairways are very poor bumpy and hard. Sand traps need repair or at least maintained. Tee boxes need work as well. The greens are probably the only thing that could be considered as good.

Tee Boxes are in "Ok" condition, The fairways are in bad condition They are very patchy from being dried out. It's "Hard Dirt" patchy like it's that way for a long time. Around the greens and Greens are in good shape.

If you know the history of Victoria, then it's easy to see that while it's far from pristine, it's in the best shape maybe in decades. Greens are tops.

If you have not given this place a chance in a while, Do. It is so much better now. Now its mostly grass with some bare spots. Before It was mostly bare spots with very few patches of green. You will Like the improvement.
