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.

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.

Great for the money

Great shorter course to test your ball striking with all the doglegs. Always fun to play but pace does tend to be a little slow, definitely can be a 5 hours round most of the time.
