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.

Course needs help

Worse condition I have seen there in 20 years... Ex.-Rough 1 yard off the fairways was 1ft high!! Don't know if it's funds or staffing but a course with that much vegetation needs constant maintenance before it gets out of control...Fingers crossed DeBell!!

Always great

Play here all the time. Starting to dry up a big in the sun and heat but overall still well worth the price for a challenging city course.

Over grown conditions

We booked for a $35 x2 rate + GN fees and found that our playing partner called directly to the shop and got a $23 rate!!

Conditions are worst than I've seen it the last time I played. I don't think I'm coming back unless things change.

DeBell 5/31

Been playing DeBell for 10 years. The course has always had some rough edges but it seems to be getting worse. Heavy weeds and rough not trimmed. Large areas that are just dirt on various holes. The greens were in decent shape. For 65 bucks there's better options. No GPS in carts, cart girl takes cash only.

Burbank Golf

It’s the only course in Burbank that’s public. The fring has big patches of rough. Greens are still recovering. Rolled slow when I played. We’ll see what happens throughout the summer

Greens need work

Overall the condition of the course was very good. The fairways and tees are in good shape and the bunkers had good sand in them (I just wish golfers would rake their footprints!), but the greens were slow and bumpy. They needed to be cut and rolled. Otherwise, I enjoyed my round.

Create for advancing players

As soon as I played this course one Sunday, I came back for more on Tuesday. Got a great deal, though on some days the pace can be slower.

Need to push slow play

If you can't play in rhythm it ruins golf.

What do you say when three groups are on the same tee.

Everyone should be pushed to finish a round in 4.5 hours. Especially a short course like Debell.

It's a difficult course but if a marshal was active to KINDLY PUSH people thru.. Didn't see a marshal until the 14th hole. Sure would make for a much better weekend to be able to play at pace.

Too Penal

This is probably the 4th time I’ve played DeBell. For how difficult the course is in good condition, it was downright cruel in the condition it was in today. 5-6 inch rough, improperly cut holes (smaller than standard, volcano lip) and inconsistent greens and bunkers. If it’s well manicured this course will eat your lunch but when you can hardly find your ball when it’s one inch off the fairway, miss a put because of a sloppily cut hole or try to get up and down from the green side weeds…what is the point

Great challenge

Love this course, very challenging and creative layouts. You gotta be the first group out in order to set the pace or else you’ll end up behind a group that’ll slow down the entire day. Wish they would have a more active Marshall patrolling and getting the pace up to speed.
