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.

Bad course

Too tight. Should be 26 buck green gees. 58 fee is misleading as to quality of course.

Interesting place

Blind Ts, couple iron shots off a box and an all round good golf game had. Long par 5s, couple par 4s reachable in 1…and tricky greens. Had a great first time and joined a great local bunch of guys who helped around the course.

Will be back.

Very nice course

This was my second time playing at DeBelle. Both times the pro shop guy hasn’t gone out of his way to be friendly, but I love the course. It is very well manicured and can be challenging.

Definitely coming back

Beautiful, yet unforgiving course

There's no doubt this is a beautiful course, but expect uneven tee boxes and fairways, which can make this course pretty challenging for mid to high handicappers. Most fairways are also pretty narrow and the OBs are overgrown and there are several drop-offs since the course is laid out around the hills of Burbank. Also, don't expect to use your driver on many of the holes as they are short par 4s, but still the key is to keep it in the fairway. We played on a Sunday, so the pace of play was pretty slow. But hey, that's public course golf in LA on a weekend, so it's hard to complain. All in all DeBell can be really fun depending on your comfort level with uneven lies and your shot accuracy.

Still afraid of any possible SNAKES!
