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.

Needs Work

Tee Boxes and Greens need some serious work,, very inconsistent hole to hole ..My regular foursome won’t be back til we here about better conditions..Charging $45 for green fees is way too much for the conditions of this course..

Pace of play

Everything was going so well until we made the turn onto 10. There was a 5some on the tee who told my partner and I that we were in for a wait, as there were apparently several groups backed up on the upcoming holes. Not sure what happened, but it seems possible that the starter was letting people go before their tee time due to a fairly open front 9 and then it all slammed to a halt on the back. My partner gave up after 20 minute waits on 10 and 11 and I had to call it quits at 16. Unfortunately this isn’t the first time I’ve pushed 5 hours at this course and it was a week day afternoon.

Nice Challenging Course

The course is a shorter course than normal but more challenging the average. Could be better kept but the greens are in excellent condition. I will always remember this course because on the 13th hole, par 5, I carded my first eagle...what a great moment. It is a bit quirky but a good test of your game.

Great greens.

This is a tough little course. on certain holes you have to hit to certain spots to have the best line to the green, the greens are in good shape, nice speed, there are a couple of dead spots on the fairways but the course is in good shape.

Great Course, could use a ranger

Course in good condition, always tough first four holes, but great price being in Burbank. After playing there several times wish they would be more strict on starting times and having a ranger to push along the those who do not have a great pace of play. Was in a foursome and waiting on every hole for a threesome who after nine was three holes away from group in front of them. Otherwise always great to be at the course

Turkey day round

Played early to beat the heat. Course was in really good shape. Very green and lush. Greens were a little fast and rolled good. Only a few greens had small amounts of cancer but not bad. You definitely do not need a driver except for about 4-5 holes. Hitting straight is a must for a good score as the rough could be really rough. Great course and staff. A hidden gem! Will play again.

Dogleg course

The course is well maintained and the club house is very nice. The driving range is neat. Every hole on the front nine appeared to be a dogleg thus you cannot boom the driver and must hit shaped shots: high draws or high fades, Greens were well kept.

DeBell November 2017

The course was in great condition. It has its bare spots but for the most part I could not complain once about the round. The course was very green and lush! Maybe watering a little too much but wow it was a nice round out there. Had a great round in early November

Great Course! Great value!

Saturday early afternoon in about 4 hours, for $30. You can't beat this deal. Beautiful course tricky, tight layout that kept me interested every shot. I'll be back even if it's a 2 hour drive for me.

Fun, short, shot makers course

Pros: Greens and fairways were in great shape. Great pace of play for a Sun morning, didn't have to wait on many tees. Bev cart gal was super friendly and came around several times. Got a good deal on Golfnow for a Sun round.

Cons: Short course if you like that kind of thing. Did not have to hit the driver often. Several blind shots and some significant dog legs. Restaurant very busy with Sun brunch, took forever to grab a hot dog at the turn.

Overall - like the course and the facility, will be back for sure.

Great course to get away from LA golf crowds

Nice course with elevation changes and lovely scenery. we saw deer, coyotes, quails, lots of wildlife. The course is challenging with arrow fairways and plenty of dog-legs. staff was really friendly. we played in the afternoon and it was nice to have a municipal course mostly to ourselves on a weekend. Our personal pace was slow this round, but I've finished this course in under 4 hours with a 3 some.

Fire near the course, only play 14 holes

Nice day 100 degree around the golf course, enjoy the play until hole 14, big fire seeing from peak of the mountain, for safety concern pro shop staff suspending all golfers continue to play, wish nothing was damaged around the course.
