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.

First Time Playing

Tight, fun affordable course

We played on a weekday and it was pretty full, but we could have played as a twosome if we wanted. Pace of play was slow so we joined another couple and had a fun round. Greens are small and challenging to read but lots of opportunities to be on with a birdie putt. Don’t be above the hole if you can hep it!

Great development course

This course is great to use every club in your bag. Tight narrow fairways, but super get-able holes, and course condition really improved over the past few months

Quiet and beautiful golf course.

I play golf once a week at this course, so it's nice that it's not crowded. It's short, but it's not easy because the fairway is narrow, and it's quite a fun course... It's such a beautiful golf course...

Ok

The 10th hole was closed. First few holes on front nine always screws me up. It’s too tight for me. But all else is fine

Irrigation Issues

Played DeBell for the the third time, first time I thought I was fun and had some interesting shots, and a good, but not great collection of “target golf” style of holes. The front 9 demands crisp irons shots and shaping both ways to score, while the back 9 opens up with more elevation changes as asks for long straight drives off the tee, with accurate approach shots.

The collection of Par 5s are fun and gettable, the par fours are forgettable and the par threes (minus #7) either ask for a 180 - 220 yard tee shot, or an aggressive draw shot around a mountian-side, onto a blind green. They almost seem to be there to add overall yardage to the course.

Teed off early this morning and the playing condition were rough at best. Standing water we’re in most bunkers and felt like you could build a sand castle in them, which were littered with small rocks. Standing water was everywhere, and the turf was either extreme soggy or hard pan. It felt like playing winter golf.

I’m aware and appreciate that the grounds crew is doing its best with the poor irrigation, and I see that they’re working on getting new irrigation in the ground on the back 9, but this place could go from oaky, to borderline great with a proper renovation. Expansion of the Green complexes, re-designing the par 3s to be more interesting, rebuilding the bunkers with sand that doesn’t have marble sized rocks, and getting the irrigation up to snuff would change the course dramatically.
