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.

They've completely given up

Lost my ball after hitting it straight down the middle of the first 'fairway' because it's anything but. Patches of overgrown weeds and grass next to bare dirt. Standing water in low areas of the intended fairway. Standing water in several cartpath areas.

Greens rolled okay.

Not planning on playing here again.

Course on bad shape

Very little grass on most fairways. In the fairways that did have grass, it was very long...more like the rough instead of a fairway. Three holes were very flooded, some groups were skipping these holes!

Surprising round

I played this course for the first time one day after a three-day storm. Needless to say there were many flooded areas, deep grass patches due to inability to mow, and the need to use a push cart. Yet, the tee pads and the greens were in especially good condition. Once you get to the green, it became a quite enjoyable round.

Needs desperate help

If your into muddy fairways and unplanned water hazards this is the course for you. It’s an absolute disrepair. Situated on an old dump it makes it impossible for grass to grow. Do not go if it recently rained. There were lakes on the course not by design. If they figured out how to get grass growing it could be a fun municipal.

Poor condition

The front 9 feels like playing in a pasture field, no grass only dirt. The back nine is a little better than the front, better condition! However, one i can say, greens are one the best conditions of any golf courses in the area!

Victoria is Getting There

It won’t be long before Victoria becomes one of those wonderful places to play. Everybody will talk about the lack of grass on some of the fairways. But the tees and greens were lush. Many of the Fairways were almost 100% and there’s a feeling that this courses on its way to a new beginning. I don’t wanna tell you because I don’t want you to go there, but this is a really special place that I love to play.

The worst course I've ever played

If you just want to kit some balls and you don't care about grass, then this is the course for you. I'm not exaggerating when I say that 60-70% of the fairways were simply dirt and mud. The course was full of players who have now concept of golf etiquette (driving their carts up to the actual green, four players each with their own carts, players hitting 3-4 balls on each hole). I had to play through on two separate holes because of extremely slow play (and I should add that the course was practically empty, it was just slooooow play).

Such a shame...

I heard terrible things about the course but it's architect (William Bell) drew me in. I walked the course paying the weekday/senior rate. Unfortunately, the absolute disregard by the City of Carson is astounding. Too bad because the layout is potentially great. The golf course needs a superintendent and grounds crew that have some leeway to make necessary improvements but I'm sure the city could care less. It's a potential gold mine if focus is applied properly. Rebuild the clubhouse and host weddings and corporate events. It's Los Angeles for God's sake!! I'm sure irrigation lines need to be reinstalled and the course needs reseeding and bunker work but it WILL PAY DIVIDENDS despite the pocket-lining opinions of city council...

Worst course I have ever played

Literally, there was no grass in the fairways. You basically hit down a dirt path and tried to find a patch of grass to hit a second shot in from. Around the greens were well entertained and overall for 33 bucks. I guess it was Golf. Definitely would not return The worst course I’ve ever played as the description said.

Terrible

Absolutely terrible. Just keep your money in your pocket. They could make this course free to play and it still wouldn’t be worth it.
