Rating 71.8

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.

Touch challenge terrible fairways

I might as well walked the course. Every hole for the first 14 were fairway only.

The good: This course is long and not very forgiving. You have to be straight off the tee. Greens were okay but very predictable. By the 3rd hole I realized that they dont break AT ALL. I had one of my best putting days ever.

The bad: Terrible fairways, no grass, dead grass. Gopher holes all over the course. Ran into a swarm of bees that didn't bother us thank God. Speaking to the locals the bees are a normal and won't attack. I had a hot deal and wanted to leave by the 4th hole.

Save your money unless you get a hot deal and there were no other courses available. I was in that dilemna because it was Fathers Day and I really wanted to play.

Lack of maintenance

It seems LA county forgot about this course or the people in charge stopped upkeep on the course. Lots of bare spots and patch work all over the course. It's sad this used to be a nice course to play on.

Significant improvement in fairways

I was one of many who gave up on Victoria because of their horrible fairways (no grass, dirt fairways). But they finally invested in a project to save the course. It could have easily been sold and closed down just like the Dominguez Par 3 course just minutes away if they continued to let the course go, but they didn't. The fairways are 90% better and I actually hit off grass when my drive hit the fairway. They still have room for improvement but overall nice job and will play again.

Should be a bigger discount

With nearly every whole being under repair or restricted from driving cart, it was not worth the money. Staff should have been forthcoming about course conditions. Starter gave details as he started us on 1st hole -not cool. Enjoyed seeing all the wildlifemoving about, that was cool.

WILL NOT PLAY AGAIN UNTIL CONDITIONS IMPROVE.

It may be okay in a few months

They are rehabbing it now. Don't go now but it may be playable in the future. It's good for beginners now so if you want to bring a friend to practice, go ahead.

Still needs help

Course is looking and playing way better but still needs a ton of work. I think they should remove all the grass and install artificial turf. now watering, no mowing and just need to blow and vaccum .. Please hold some fundraisers or something to get some serious money into this course. it has a really good layout!!

Not in good shape at all!

If you are looking for an enjoyable day of golf do not play here. The fairways are in very bad shape and are cart restricted in many areas. The rough is basically uncut grass and in most cases almost impossible to hit from. They should really shut this course down until they can get it to a playable condition.

Sod placement stupid, greems shaggy and slow

Played 5/4/14 after it's re-opening to a par 72. Many fairways have been improved, but there are still plenty of bad spots. Whoever was in charge of placing sod should be fired. They placed sod on holes #7 and #13 between 200-250 into the green (rewarding a bad shot), but between 150-200 into the green is still terrible. A waste of money on sod placement in MANY places.

Greens were also shaggy and much slower than they used to be. Greenskeeper needs to be replaced.

Good Value for the Money

Good value for your money. $33 (with cart) hot deal on golfnow and the course layout was enjoyable. The greens were in great shape and rolled well. I know they're working on improving the fairways (a lot of new sod has been laid down) but there were a few times where I was hitting off hard pack in the middle of the fairway. Played in under 5 hours and could have been much faster without the group in front of us going on extended ball hunts in the bushes on every hole.

Great course for beginners. A lot of greens can be rolled up on (hence Links) and there weren't many forced carries. Fairway conditions weren't great but the value for the money would bring me back.

New Management

I appreciate the new management trying to repair the course but perhaps they need to update their computer in the process. The pro shop never knows whether I have a tee time or not and don't know how to pair me with other players.

Roping off most of the fairway is also not helping the pace of play. Most of the time, I can't even tell where the ropes are and either just drive other them or have to come to a sudden stop. Probably should let carts be driven on both sides of the fairway with a few more crossover paths. Use some spray paint so we can see. You don't have to repair all of the fairway at once, think about how we have to play and where most shots go.

Has potential

The course has a lot of potential, it is in dyer need of a new more professional staff. I booked a 1207 tee-time as single with a cart. I was paired with a good group but what got me was the starter informed me that another single was to join us and ride in my cart. I was stunned, first off, the soon to be joining golfer came out puffing on a cigar, one I do not smoke. The starter and the pro shop insisted he ride with me because of there policy on single riders, after the 15 min battle of arguing I was able to ride alone. Needless to say the first hole I recorded a triple bogey. I never shoot triples. So with that said no staff should ever get into a confrontation with its patrons…..DH
