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.

Practice facilities are very good!!!

Not the worlds best hacker, but this course is in need of a exorcism or something like in Pet Cemetery. Was this course built on a landfill? The badlands (fairways) have as many rocks as a highway road crew. For the price they ask and what I saw from the highway I thought this was going to be a nice round... NOT!!! The fact that it is near to where I live and can call at ANYTIME and get a tee-time in the next 10 minutes is not enough to bring me back

Course needs to be maintained.

What can you say about a course like this? The best way to describe..."Its a dirt race track with patches of grass". Needs a lots of work.

Horrible fairways

I played one week before the aeriation but before it, the course needs NEW fairways..
There were no grass in most of the fairways..
It was like hitting rocks for each short iron swings.

Poorly maintained course

This was the poorest maintained course that I've ever seen! The fairways were almost non-playable. It was my first time to play the course and I was fortunate enough to play with someone that has played it for the last three years and said that it has been in the same condition the entire time. If you are tempted to play this course because of the price, don't be!

Horrible condition of fairways

This course has absolutely horrendous fairways. On every hole you will find yourself hitting of dirt in many areas instead of grass. If they would fix the fairways it would be a cool course but for the money it's not worth it.

Not a good course.

The course is in terrible shape, there was little grass. The greens were OK. Flat, dry, and bald overall.
Pace of play was good, and staff was very friendly.

The new general manager is making things very uncomfortable in her efforts to make players do not want to play at this course.

I have been playing at this course for a very long time now. However resent experience with the new general manager makes not playing at this course until she is gone. She is very ugly in her approach and demanding that everyone must ride with another golfer when they are not buisy.

Easy to get on, terrible fairway conditions, good greens.

It's well known in L.A. area that Victoria's fairways are terrible, but their greens are usually in very good shape. The $21 GolfNow offering was a good deal for this course if you maintain a "golf is golf" attitude and don't expect a lush private club conditions. The starter in the pro shop (first name initial "A") need to be better organized. I checked in 30 minutes before my tee time and was told to wait until he called me back. While waiting, I saw that the course was not busy at all, and watched several twosomes and threesomes tee off. The starter was not paying any attention to the fact the first tee was open, and had I not gone back into the pro shop to check, the 11:30 foursome would have been sent out before me! Ended up going out with another single who was already on the tee and who happened to have walked on after I had first checked in...!

Sad

I don't normally write reviews but this course deserves one.

It is depressing to see what passes for a golf course these days. The Links at Victoria is a dirt road with golf holes on it. (I should have taken pictures)This place definitely needs to be worked on. There is more dirt than grass in some of the fairways. I felt really bad for the staff working there, because I know the condition of the course is not their fault. This has BAD MANAGEMENT written all over it.

Failure!

good deal on golfnow

This is Victoria, so yes, there are some bare spots in the fairway. But with a good deal on GolfNow, I would play this course again. The greens are in great shape as usual. The layout is interesting.
The day I played, it was unusually crowded, but we still finished in under 5 hours.

Nice greens!

A bit pricey for a round....Fairways are mostly hardpan dirt,you would bode well to find some grass patches to hit your approach to the green.
Shame on American golf for not trying....Also this course should let folks know,who book on line,or haven't played here before,let them know the conditon of the course.

Dirt Fairways - use only for practice.

Unfortunately this might be the worst course in L.A. The fairways are dirt (built on an old landfill so it might be hopeless). I went knowing this and was always moving my ball to any grass. Greens and area around the greens are fair. Sand traps are hard packed. I teed off at 11 am on a Sunday and played the front nine in 1:40 with one other. On the back I had a 4-some in front so I practiced chipping and putting once I got to the green. Done in 4 hours. Paid $22 on Golfnow with cart- about fair. Go for practice and pay little. For golf with friends go elsewhere. Nice people work there.

Course not in great shape

Course Fairway conditions were poor. Not a lot of grass. You would see hardened mud in the middle of most fairways. MIght as well hit off the cart path. Greens were in decent condition.

Course not overly crowded. Pace moving steadily.

Great driving range and practice area.
