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.

Par 3’s??!!

Aside from e obvious construction course condition was good. However I was disappointed at how many holes were converted to Par 3’s. Helped my score but hope it’s not permanent.

Interesting round

This is a friendly, low key muni course. The conditioning was not good when we played, however. Pace of play was slow on the front 9, fast on the back 9 as a lot of people in front of us had opted to go straight from 9 to 19th !

Good course but should advise of ongoing course improvement

I really enjoyed the course - some challenging holes, some easier holes. Overall, it was a good experience - my only issue would be that the course that day played a par 68 (vs. 71) due to ongoing course improvements. Around 5 to 6 tee boxes were closed (if memory serves me well). This turned many holes into par 3s. The fairway was ok but not manicured.

Greens were very good in my opinion but, as with many public courses, few people would fix the pitch marks. Be better Sunday golfers.

Walked

Starter was a d!ck

6:40am tee time and the starter wanted to send us out at 6:25am. We were still waiting on our last person in our group of 4. Starter got sassy with us because we weren't ready yet. We were all walking the course with push carts and they sent nothing but groups of 3 in carts after us. Kept getting hit into and had the ranger tell us to pick up the pace multiple times. The course is hilly and walking it isn't easy. How about you don't stack tee times so close together? A lot of the tee boxes were relocated due to work being done so none of them were nicely level. Beautiful course but poorly managed. Again, starter was a d!ck.

Course undergoing repair

Paid full price for a course that is undergoing significant renovations. When making the reservation, there was no notice regarding any renovations. There were at least 8 tee boxes that were moved to a non-tee box area (uneven lies) and some were 50 yards ahead of the usual tees. This was my 3rd time here and the 2nd hole is always under construction

Tees under repair

Buyer beware: right now 5-6 tee boxes are under repair. Including thr signature blind par 3. Course has a good layout, fairways and rough were fine, greens good but beat up on fringes…but teeing up on 5-6 makeshift fairway tee boxes in not level or good conditions was a real buzzkill. Carts are old too: no ice chests or windshields.

The worst course in AMERICA

Played on Sunday and during check in they did not mention course conditions. Most to all tee-boxes were in construction and tee boxes weee moved into the roughest patches. Horrible and not worth a dime to play there. I’m a big believer in supporting local businesses but when you show up and pay full price for a trash course and they never mention course conditions then from management to the bottom of the totem pole everyone is shady. At least have the decency to mention the course condition! Horrible and I will never ever play at DeBell again! Disgusting how they think they can get away with such a horrible course!!! Lesson learned!!!
