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.

Up front information

Would have been nice to know the greens are being worked on before booking.

Also 60$ for rental clubs is insane as the whole day with 2 of us with cart was less then that

Everything was bad

I’ve played this course a few times. It’s challenging and has a fun layout but the experience yesterday was AWFUL. Over a SIX HOUR pace of play. EVERY green was being aerated and impossible to putt on, most tee boxes were on an angle, one was moved up 140 yards, every sand trap was either a puddle, like gravelly asphalt or both. And it was even more expensive than all other comparable, better-kept courses that aren’t going through renovations. It’s hard to have a bad day golfing on a beautiful day, but DeBell managed to do that yesterday. It will be a LONG time before I play this course again, if ever.

Post rain chaos

Fallen tree’s sandy greens and debris everywhere. You couldn’t get a decent put with all the holes and sands all over the greens which they didn’t tell us about after they took our full fee’s. If this was 25 bucks it would be fine but at 67 a piece it’s disheartening.

Poor Course Conditions Same Price

Really wish places would appropriately charge for when they check greens and 80% of the course in under repair

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.

Short but sweet

You must hit the fairway on this short but tight course .

The elevation changes provide some challenge

Greens putt true and we’re in good condition.

It’s worth the greens fee

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!
