About

Holes 18
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.

Tight course with small greens!

If you want to get your iron play down, great course. You might lose a ball or two but well worth the drive and experience.

Their parking lot gets crowded on busy days and pace of play is slow on weekends. Weekday play is great!

Maintenance and carts

Course under heavy renovation, many employees on the fairways and around the greens. Better have confidence in your shot to avoid them because they don’t move for the players. Stood at several tee boxes hoping they would but ended up playing around them. The carts were awful, tee time before 730am should be at least kinda clean and fully charge batteries but no such luck. One cart died on 10th so we swapped it and second cart died on 15 and limped the last few holes with some pushes from the replacement cart. Issues that can be fixed though, great course when it’s not being worked on. Will recommend it again in a few years when they finally finish the construction

Quit after 14 holes - 5.5 hours - easily would have been a 6.5 hour round if hadn’t bailed.

Beautiful course, but too many par 3’s

Great course… But five par three holes on an 18 whole course leaves you feeling a little bit unsatisfied

no notice about hole #17 under construction and hole #11

De Bell did not even give a notice that hole #17 is under construction. we only played 17 holes and we paid to play 18 holes...also there was 2 greens on hole #11. Their was no note which hole to play.

the management should put a note or tell the players what's going on.
