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.

Great course, it’s on the shorter side but the layout demands precision iron shots

Course Under Repair

We normally love DeBell, however, not so much today.

The course was under repair (hole 15 was closed completely & tractors on 8 & 9); the grass was cut on several holes during play; and a party of 5 ahead of us shot 2 & 3 balls each which slowed the pace of game tremendously. While some of the disappointment was beyond the control of management, some could have been avoided had we been informed of course conditions at checkin.

Disappointed yet again…

My friends and I have been there many times, and I don’t know why we even consider going back. Yesterday was the worse though. We show up to a “back 9 only” day which is fine but was in the absolute small print. No reminder or notification pre-purchase. Also no mention of one of the holes being completely out of commission. We were waved down by construction workers on site, and told we could not play it (so that leaves 8 holes, if you’re keeping count)

I also told the employee at the clubhouse when we rounded back for our second go at the back 9 (because we paid for a full 18) that one of the holes was unplayable because of construction and they were actually 2 holes being worked on, to which he responded “not true, only one hole is being worked on” (we made sure to take a picture to show him when we finished our round) Hole 14 AND 15 both had workers. The cherry on top was we were still expected to pay the FULL price of $47 dollars. Absolutely insane. It’s a shame because I’ve always loved debell golf club but their service, and amenities fall VERY SHORT compared to a lot of other courses near by.

I’m never someone who complains, I’m very laid back, but the blatant disrespect and condescending tone for someone paying full price for a half price (at best) experience, I had no choice but to leave a review.

I will be taking my business elsewhere and I strongly suggest you do too.

Missed tee time

I’ recently relocated to LA after a 25 year absence. The traffic never disappoints. I left the house an hour n a half before my which should have been. 33 minute ride. 2 hours later and a mondo traffic jam, I was still 45 minutes out. Dejected I got off and went home.

I’ve played this track before. A hidden gem in LA.

Challenging for beginners

Good course. Really casual setting. Overall it’s a good and challenging course for beginners. Tee times are too close for my liking. I felt that we had the group behind us at all times. Fees were a little high in my opinion for this caliber of course.
