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.

Great Public Course

I have seen this course many times on this app, and finally a friend suggested... so I had to check it out! This is a really fun canyon course that has some great course features.

Playing from the blues, many holes have have elevated tee boxes... except for 10, which is up hill all the way. The tee boxes themselves are for the most part in good shape.

On the day, the greens were incredibly well kept and slow! For a Southern California golfer this was a very welcome change from the hard and fast on most public courses. These greens are small and well protected making for a challenging yet fun round.

The only criticism, I have are that the sand traps aren’t really sandy beach’s and more akin to packed construction earth... they have great upward lips tucked well maintained greens so with a little sand it would be in my opinion a legendary public course.

A course to add to my favorites!

Poor course layout

Several severe dog legs. Extremely small greens. Concrete bunkers. Up hill holes. 200+ yard par 3’s. Just not a fun time

Never again!!!

Unless you like eating crayons this course isn’t for you. Steven hawking can make a straighter hole than debell. Plus the fat lady on the 11th tee really needs to go for a walk. Horrible experience

Very unique quirky course that requires more strategy than power on the majority of holes. Cups were raised but I heard they are now lowered with noodle in cup. Literally waited on every tee shot and second but for $15 cart included I will be back. I’m curious what the course record is because this course is gettable if you know where to hit it

Great course

I love this course, you have to use all your clubs and the layout is great, the only blemish is the bunkers are in horrible shape.

Mountain goat returns

This is the first course I schedule to play every time I fly into LA. Views are postcard worthy. Not a long course but you will use every club in your bag. Pace of play on a Saturday, from what I’m told, is good for an LA public course. Residents may be use to it but 5.5 hrs is way too long for me.green and fairways I would say are in good condition considering the amount of traffic. Driving range is nothing special but adequate. Clubhouse and restaurant is very nice. Holes 1-9 gets you warmed up. A 3 hybrid will get you around even par. Holes 10-18 get ready to climb. You can break out your driver but a 3 wood will keep you in play and give you a better shot at par. Good luck reading the greens. This is the 4th time playing and I still have trouble seeing the breaks. Nice 75 degree sunny day was almost too warm for the pace of play. All in all it was a fun day.

Willy Wonka designed this while smoking crack

If you like a ridiculous challenge with tons of midrange tight window shots and 200 yard par 3s, or if you enjoy punching yourself in the face, this course is for you. Play it on an absurdly windy day like today and you’ll never want to come back here, like me.
