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.

Challenging

DeBell course is a scenic course fraught with natural obstacles , ever changing elevations unseen gravity on greens and just a delight to play. A great value for the money. No matter how well you play DeBell finds a way to throw a kink in your works which just puts the hook in you to come back and try to beat the course.

I highly recommend this course if you've never played it . Best of luck

This course was very nice. The tee boxes are the only area that needs fixing. Other than that solid course.

Don’t leave anything behind. Pro shop will steal it

Lost my club on the course, was returned. I called to verify and The girl on the phone told me it’s waiting in the pro shop but I don’t need to leave a name or number because it’s the only one there. This was on Friday- come Sunday when I want to go get It I call again and they don’t have any clubs that have been turned in and the guy hasn’t seen anything but for me to leave my

Name n number. Monday I call again and a different guy tells me “oh yeah I remember seeing that, we must have given It to the wrong person. Sorry bud.” And that was It. I know I messed up by leaving It but you guys just one upped me. We all know a golfer wouldn’t want a random club if they had lost theirs, they’d want their specific club back. I refuse to believe It was just casually given to the wtong person. You guys are liars and thief’s in the pro shop and you know It.

Always a good time at DeBell !

As always, DeBell GC is a reliably good & enjoyable place to play.

A very good value, a tight & challenging course and nicely maintained during these hot, mid-summer days.

There were deer absolutely everywhere... and I mean everywhere... squirrels & rabbits, too. In fact, there also were coyotes on the course just laying out in the shade. A really nice environment to play golf.

The pace of play was a little slower than normal, but acceptable nonetheless.

If you're up for playing a course that demands that you make shots, many different types of shots, then DeBell GC needs to be added to your short list of courses to play.

Short tricky course

Shorter course but tricky to get around need a lot of good iron shots especially on the first 4 hols.

Greens are in good condition and fairly fast with a lot of small brakes not too many strait putts.

Lots of fun!

Up in the hills overlooking Burbank.

Always challenging. Bring lots of ammo.

Very diverse with great views.

Chances are you will run into a group of deer at some point.

Don't leave their Hilltop Cafe without some of the famous Garlic Bread!!

Not Easy, unless your ball has a fairway magnet!

I love this course, very beautiful, but very tough. Even if you play fairways and greens, the putting is very tough, anything over 20 feet and you could 4 putt. 2 putting is not easy at all. If you leave the fairway Good luck trying to par any of the holes. #10 looks so easy, but wow, par will feel like a birdie. Bring extra balls, especially the ones you don’t mind losing.
