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.

Lost golf game

I booked and paid full a tee at 11.22 yesterday, but my wifd caught a cold and we didn't go to pay.
Unfortunately for us was not well .
Right now we feel sad because we couldn't play and we have lost our money !!
Next time I'll never pay in advance because we may never know what it would happen !

My best regards

Improved fairways but work is still needed

The fairways are getting better but still poor for a county course. The greens are pretty good. The bunkers are hard though. I wish all the fairways looked like hole #15.

Course

You can tell they are working on the course conditions. The reason I gave a 1 star on the food is Becouse it was closed. I was looking for some food at 330

Terrible Fairways

This was by far the worst fairways I have ever played on a GolfNow sponsored course!
The fairways were so bad that 3 holes had alternate tees 125 yards from the hole, effectively removing the entire fairway from play on Par 4 holes.
We will never play this course again.

Great Deal

We played this course before so we knew what to expect. Three holes have been converted to par 3's because they are under construction. I heard they are almost done and will re-open soon. The staff in the club house and in the snack shop are all very friendly. You are not going to mistake this place for Pebble Beach, but the deal was so good, I have to give it 4 stars. Great place to play when you have that golf itch that needs scratching.

needs a lot of work

Should close for alittle until they fix the fairways.
If they don't close they should let everyone know ahwad of time that most of the fair ways are in really bad shape unplayable

Course needs water

I played this course for the 2nd time in 2 months and it is getting better. But the fairways are still very patchy and dry but the greens are nice. The rough is narly and desert like. Lost balls are very common. They get credit for having their crews out there mowing and trying to shape the course. However, they have a vey long way to go.

New and improved

I had not played at Links at Victoria for awhile and decided to come back for a hot deal on Golfnow.com
They were putting work into the course to improve the fairways from before where it used to be a lot of dead grass and dirt. Even with the course "under construction" the fairways were playable and much improved. The greens were in very lush condition and the T boxes were pretty decent as well. The course still needs work but overall is much more playable then before.

Great greens

The constant here is the condition of the greens, great! The fairways are okay for now, but the value through GN made for a worthwhile day! Always enjoy coming back to the first big course I ever played.

Fairways need help

Fairways have new patches of sod. Should just close the course until truly ready to play.

This course was terrible...

I went to play yesterday, October 24, but the fairway was under construction and the courses were blocked off without notice. 14 holes were par 3... Even golf now did not mention anything about this but they charged full price. I understand the need for renovation/ construction, but it should at least be notified to guests. I am a regular here, but if these inconveniences persist, you will lose your loyal guest.

A real waste

Whenever I would drive along the 405 freeway in Carson, CA I would look over and wish I could play here. I know now that only holes, 15 ,16, and 17 are decent. The fairways on every other hole are nothing but dirt with a few patches of non-playable grass, if you can find it. Without my contact lenses, I thought I was seeing fairway bunkers from many tee boxes, but it was really just dirt. I felt I played a pretty good round (low 90's) but everytime I had a good drive down the middle, I found myself with a hard pan, dirt shot to the hole. Afraid to hurt my shoulder on the swing and afraid to ruin my clubs, it was a challenge to stay focused mentally on the shot. I had trouble finding grass even when just 80 yds away from most greens. If I wanted to play a par-3 course, I could have just gone to one.
I will say that the greens were very well-maintained and the bunkers protecting the greens were nice. The rest of the course was a total waste.
Holes 15, 16, 17, 18 seemed nice to me.
My only consolation is that I pitched, chipped and putted really well. I seemed to find every bunker on the course, but that's just my luck - and no complaints about that. I had fun trying to get out of the bunkers.
Every hole was aggravating because there was so little grass on the fairways.
I had read a bad review about the fairways but I had already booked my round and thought that others were just complaining unnecessarily. I went there and proved to myself that I will likely never play here again. I can easily find par-3 courses with really nice greens in the South Bay and Long Beach.

Needs help

I am only recommending this course because it is long and challenging. The tee boxes and greens are excellent. The fairway is NOT playable!! I like the layout and I feel this could be a desired course of choice, but they need to get some grass on those fairways.

Greens in much better condition then the fairways.

This course is worth the $24 HotDeal fee. However it should be reduced from a par 72 to a par 71 because the Forth hole has been shortened so much.
