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.

25 hole par 3...

Greens very fast Fairways Aren't bad what bugged me everything was like a dramatic dog leg where I had the layup over and over I played like a 7 iron through 6 holes the dramatic elevation changes And the wind just made it Irritating..

I also enjoy walking courses this course not Enjoyable to walk.

It's very deceptive the greens are fast but the course certain holes are very soft Others were hard as a rock You had very tiny greens And when I hit beautiful shots right down the middle I always seem to have a tree hanging in the middle of the fairway that I always hit just wasn't enjoyable

Good value for money, but beware of SLOW pace

I booked this tee time last minute through Golf Now for $25. Overall, I was impressed with the course and found its location convenient to downtown Burbank. The course is pretty short so it’s fun from a scoring perspective. The greens were well maintained, but the bunkers could use some work. My only real complaint is around the pace of play. It took me (a single) about 2-2.5 hours to play 9 holes. Every hole there was a back up of 1-2 groups in front of me waiting to tee off. This course should do something to keep pace of play moving and break up larger groups of 5+ people that seemed to have formed.

‘Slowest Ever Round of Golf’

Played in a 3 ball with a 3 ball infront of us and it took 5 hours to complete the round. As we were on hole 16 the Marshall drove around and told us a group were asked to leave the course for slow play.... this decision should have been made hours before!

Course is ok but today was a waste of time and money.

Ashamed

Probably one of the worst jaunted course I’ve ever played on..dirt not sand in traps..fairways were like playing in some unkept park..much MUCH needed repairs of cart path and worst of all..the restrooms out on the course were DISGUSTING..health Dept should shut this place down..as for the layout of this course I didn’t mind lots of dog legs but that’s good..worked on the irons and short game..this course needs a makeover REALLY BAD...CMON NOW!!!
