Be aware of construction

Half of the holes were under construction. Had to hit over workers and machinery on a par 3. Fairways and greens were not kept up to playing standards…even for a public gc.

A lot of Potential

I am from the East coast and was trying to find a course in the LA/Burbank area while visiting here. I went to this course based on the reviews and proximity to where I was staying. The layout of the course was pretty good for a public course but the course conditions were not very good except for the greens. The greens were in good shape, but the rest of the course was not in good shape. There was construction on several holes with machinery on the course. There were a few holes that had big patches of dirt in the middle of the fairways. The course has a lot of potential to be a very good course but needs better maintenance.

Mother Nature

Mother Nature beat up the front 9, but the staff is working to get it back ready to play. The back 9 was as pleasurable as ever though!

Too narrow fairway, Too small green, Too many under construction

DeBell must have told the customers that it’s under construction all over the course. Condition was poor to engoy the golf. I don‘t wanna play here again.

Well....

Before anything is said, one has to understand the obvious land constraints when this course was built. About 1/2 of the holes are simply quirky/dumb and there's no other way to say it. The course conditions are poor except for the greens which I thought were pretty good for a muni. It's golf in the LA area where the choices can be few for out of towners. It was quite cold for our 7:00 am start, but pretty nice by the turn. We had fun, but if you have other options and want to play something that resembles a typical golf course, this place ain't it.

Short and tough

Not set up for me to succeed. Short with lots of dog leg lefts. Greens are real tough and fast. Some extremely tight. Bunkers and tee boxes in really bad shape. Not too expensive but should be better maintained.
