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.

Beautiful course

De Bell is a beautiful course. It is definitely a challenging course with greens that are challenging to read correctly. It's definitely not a course for beginners, as I found out. However, the course is beautiful and the grounds are well maintained. It's definitely a challenge for any skill level.

Most Interesting Public Course In LA County

If you don't want to drive to another county for a reasonably priced exciting course, DeBell is definitely the course for you. They are repairing some damage from the heavy rains, but the fairways are great and the layout is so much fun!

So many public courses across LA feature boring layouts across flat terrain with little excitement. Although LA's courses are conveniently located, I drove hours outside LA every weekend in search of better golf experiences.

I initially underestimated DeBell's short par 71 tucked away in the foothills of Burbank. I hadn't been recommended the course, never really heard much about it, and found it through Google Maps searches for golf courses. That said, I'd like to try every course once and promptly booked a Tuesday morning 6:40 AM tee time.

Leading up to my round misty weather forecast likely lead to a lot of golfers canceling their tee times - so I moved mine up to 6 AM. When I arrived two groups teed off before me and I was alone on the tee box for 10 minutes until 5:55. I hit my first shot into the fog, waited a few minutes to see if any partners would arrive, and began walking the course at 6.

For 18 holes wet and soggy holes, I worked my way up, down, and around the hills that DeBell is built into and I was absolutely delighted to be there. This is easily the most unique and serene golf course I have experienced in Los Angeles County, especially during a weekday dawn round. The scenery and natural environment of this course are top of their class.

Although it is short, it is a technical course that forces golfers to think and play smart. Some narrow fairways and dramatic doglegs add variety while cleverly weaving the course in and out of the foothills. Hole Twelves' signature blind tee shot does not disappoint and is the perfect example of how this course elevates its layout despite its small footprint.

DeBell was clearly designed into the landscape, rather than being built across flattened lots allotted for city parks projects. It was a great round and I highly recommend this course to anyone that is seeking a fun, well-kept course within LA County.

Great course great price

Very nice club house good driving range. The only reason to give it 3 stars was that the bunkers are under construction and you had to pull your ball and drop, so… kind of a win in the end. Super nice course and very challenging. Great location.
