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.

Nice Design, Terrible Condition

The fairways are dead and they aren’t coming back, apparently the reclaimed water they have to use to water the course is brackish and kills the grass yeso the fairways are mostly dirt. You can tell the course was at some point nicely designed but that can’t overcome the complete lack of grass. Not many other people play so you’ll never have to wait at the tee box but I would not recommend this unless you are very skilled and have low standards.

Not maintained anymore

Like golfing in the desert. No grass or any maintained playing surface (only patches) between the tee and the green. Ended up moving a lot of balls so as not to damage my clubs.

Hole-in-one? Gopher hole-in-one that is.

If you're planning on playing at The Links at Victoria, then you're in for a treat! The tee-box grass needs to be cut while at the same time, there's nothing to cut on the fairways. The greens are the only great take-away from this course and a couple of the back-9 holes are still in good condition and haven't been hit by the curse of the underground wasteland. The Course Layout has always been great, perfect driving holes and challenging distances for lower swing speed players. Very unfortunate that the groundskeepers have to face this problem but it's something that was bound to happen.

Awesome Practice Course and Driving Range

No secret Victoria's fairways need to be fixed. I overcome that by using a mat where there is no fairway grass. The greens and areas around the green are excellent. This makes pitching and chipping fun. Tees are good. There has been increased Mx staff and it has begun to show, the course conditions are getting better. Traffic is light so pace of play is really good. I can play 18 holes in under 2 hours. If you are looking for a relaxed practice round, Victoria is an excellent place to do that. They also charge less than the other closeby munis because of the fairway conditions. It is a real bargain.

All the fairways are without grass. They’re all covered with dirt and mud and bumpy. Ended the round extremely sore because of the bumpy fairways. Will never play there again.

Fairways aside…

Greens and tee boxes are kept in great shape. Everyone knows the fairways are probably the worst in the state. Use Vic as a practice course since it’s never busy. You can replay certain holes, hit a few extra balls and move your ball into some fairways grass (if you can find some). Staff is a cool and always almost apologize for the fairways but nothing they can do since the former landfill doesn’t allow grass to grow properly. You can also find balls in the fairways since it’s basically as camouflage landscape. Who would play with Pro Vs here?

If only it had grass !!!!

The course has a nice layout and the green are in very good shape. Unfortunately the fairways have 20% coverage. It was built on a former landfill and they did not prepare the soil properly so no grass grows in the fairways. Could be a nice course if they could fix this but this will only be a last resort for us moving forward.

Yes you can play golf without grass

The course is just as bombed out as the last time I played it, but I still keep going back- either because I can’t afford to play at a nice course or because it’s conveniently located and easy to book. Rule 16 has to be applied to every hole. To be fair, the greens are pretty good and the tee boxes are shaggy, but grass covered. The fairways are an embarrassment to the very idea of golf. The “most fun you can have while angry” phenomenon is in full effect here. Play there, play angry, have fun, and bring a lot of extra balls.

Excellent Course To Play At Good Pace

I play Victoria 4 times a week, go out early, using my sr. discount card. People will think I'm crazy giving VIC 5 stars. Let me explain. The major problem is the fairway conditions. I overcome this using a mat which gives me a perfect lie when there is no grass nearby. Major problem eliminated. The greens and areas around the greens are excellent. Pitching, chipping conditions all excellent. Tees are also very good. VIC's layout is probably the best of any muni course in the south bay. There are multiple sets of tees on every hole and we pick the ones most fun or us to play. When I play, there is nobody in front or behind us, we can play18 holes in about 2 hours. VIC provides discounts beyond just my sr card because of the fairways, so it is extremely affordable. We don't worry about getting an early tee time. I don't use the driving range but many people do. For $56 a month, people get to hit 3 large buckets a day, what a deal. The staff knows us well and treats us extremely well. Hence, my 5 star rating.
