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

First timer - COVID Jan mid-week round

Never played here before, but kept widening the radius on my search range until I could find something available during my time off work and found myself teeing off at 7:40 with no delays or hassles (no practice amenities available due to COVID either).

The course is very interesting- winding its way through the hills, and it was quite the workout for me with a push-cart (though still totally doable). The greens were well maintained and rolled true - though having never played there before, they baffled me over and over. Bring an accurate long game for the par 3s, and tight drives!

Definitely had a great time and played nice and fast with an early tee time. Not my favorite layout, but I’m glad I tried it out and it was a good bargain for $30 walking!

Very Challenging Greens

The course is a little short but very challenging greens compensate that. You may not expect one putt unless your ball luckily lands within a yard away from the hole. More importantly, greens are so small that you may easily miss the green, which ends up with a chip shot and 2 putts no matter how short the putting distance is. I like the course, particularly the layout. IF the course has yardage stakes in the fairway in place such as red, white and blue, I will give them almost perfect score!

Driving range

Compared to the course itself, the driving range leaves loads to be desired. The price for a large bucket is excellent but the balls themselves are atrocious!! (I've seen younger balls at a senior center!!)

The mats are acceptable but could use an upgrade.

Now last, and definitely least, is the range itself. Aesthetically unpleasing. Hurts my eyes. DeBell really needs to cover up all that dirt. I'll be content with faux carpet.

Good value

I’ve always liked this course. Many people hate it and I’m not sure why. Makes you think off the tee and the greens are quite challenging. (Tip: with the exception of maybe a couple greens, stay BELOW the hole if you can). We finished in just over four hours with two riding and two of us walking. Conditions of the tee boxes and some fairways were fair. Some burnt spots on many fairways but nothing terrible. Can’t comment on the sand in bunkers. Greens rolled fast and true with minimal ball marks which is always nice to see. Pro shop guys were cool. Check in was fast and easy. 1240 time and it was 18 bucks to walk and 25 to ride. I call it good.
