Holes 18
Type Public
Par 71
Length 5608 yards
Slope 122
Rating 68.9

DeBell Golf Club in Burbank offers an 18-hole Regulation Course and a nine-hole disc golf course. The Regulation Course has a tight layout with narrow fairways and a variety of elevation changes that range from subtle to dramatic. Accuracy is the key to doing well on this golf course but it's not overly punishing. Its risk-reward holes will appeal to low and high handicappers alike. The front nine is fairly challenging but the back nine is where the golf course gets tough. Although DeBell Golf Club is short, only 5,608 yards from the back tees, the blind shots and winding doglegs make it seem much longer than it is. There isn't any water on the golf course but you'll hardly miss its presence with all the other hazards that lurk throughout.

2 Stars and why!

They should tell you before you start that the course is under construction! Some tee boxes were not usable and had temporary tee boxes making a par 4 essentially a par 3! The greens for the most part were decent , however there were some greens in terrible shape and looked like they were recovering from a bitter cold winter, however we played in great weather at the end of October. We would have loved to play this course when it’s in prime shape, however the 80’s are well behind us for that to happen!

Cheers,

Jeff

Challenging Course but fun

This course is great unless your drives go left or right because there is so much out of bounds and easy to lose your golf ball.

I would recommend for those who want a beautiful view with some challenges.

Pace of play so slow, had to quit after 9.

The pace of play was so slow that it made for a terrible day on the course.

After slogging through a 2 hour and 40 minute front 9, we arrived on hole 10 to see a group on the green, a group on the fairway, and 3 groups on the tee box waiting to tee off.

It was at that point my companion and I decided to pull the plug and call it a day.

So Beautiful!

I love this course. I would play more often if there was a Marshall helping with pace, if the snack bar was more efficient (order slow and missing items -almost missed tee time) and the cart girl showed up more than once.

Disappointed in Course Conditions, but Great Layout

I had been looking forward to playing this course for a while—my dad played it many times and always recommended it. Unfortunately, I was really disappointed with the conditions. The greens were waterlogged to the point that some cups were literally filled with water. The speed of the greens was very inconsistent—some were wet and slow, others were dry and much faster.

The rough was also in poor shape. It was so overgrown and unkempt that finding a ball just a yard or two off the green was a challenge. It didn’t feel like a strategic penalty—more like a lack of maintenance.

That said, the layout of the course is fantastic. It really makes you think about club selection—this isn’t just a driver-off-every-tee kind of track. The views throughout the course are beautiful, and the pace of play for my 6:40am tee time was excellent. I truly hope they invest in course maintenance soon, because this place has a lot of potential.

Just a little unkempt

Seems like there was a lot of work being done on the course, but on many fairways, lots grass clippings were left behind, and the grass was quite long making it difficult to find your ball if didn’t land in the fairway. Just felt like maintenance was done fast and not with care for the course.

Also lots of broken tee markers

For the cost of the round normally dont think it's suitable for the conditions of the greens and fairways, beautiful surroundings but conditions were rough

Nice Views, Poor Upkeep

Front 9 is pretty awful. Back feels like a different course.

Don’t expect much

No sand in bunkers, greens are in disrepair, if you’re off the fairway forget about have a good lie
