Victoria Golf Course

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.

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.

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.

Would not even pay $5 to play this course again. I hope you take it off your list.

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

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.

Grass is either dead or non existent on the fairways. Playing off patches of dirt. Greens were in decent shape.

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.

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!

The layout of the course is decent. Conditions are the worst i have ever seen on any golf course. Will never play here even if it is free.

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.

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.

Fairways hard pack, very little grass. Bunkers solid, no sand. Ground squirrels holes excessive.
Would not book again or recommend to anyone.

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.

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...!

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!

Need a lot of maintenance and work . Nice and fast greens.
May be in the Summer it will get in better shape?

THIS COURSE IS IN NEED OF ALOT OF CARE. THE TEE BOXES ARE NOT LEVELED AND THE GRASS ARE UGLY. THE WHOLE COURSE'S FAIRWAYS ARE NOTHING BUT HARD DIRT.

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.

Links is great I was able to get my longest drive of 310 yards. 25 yards longer than my previous yardage.
