DeBell Golf Club

I like this course, it has some tight fairways that keep your driver in the bag at times. Friendly staff, good conditions and fun course...

Will play it again

Fairways need some attention , greens where good ,

DeBell continues to care about having great greens. Everyone of the 18 holes was receptive to the correct shots, then fast and true for the putts. I can't think of any local Munis with this combination.

Go and enjoy the layout for what it is. Try and shoot your best and then realize the course is not as easy as you thought.

Fun course but a little narrow.

Very fun course.

It's a nice place to play a round of golf.

The clubhouse is great too.

Nice and well maintained. Challenging

I've played at least 6 or 7 different course in the LA area, and DeBell is - by far - my favorite course. I even drive about 45 minutes from home to play there fairly regularly. The course is shorter than your typical 18-hole course, but it's still pretty challenging given narrow fairways. It's also a beautiful course, placed at the foot of the Verdugo mountains. The price is right. The people are friendly, and you'll get some amazing views. I highly recommend it.

This course has a great setup to challenge new and accomplished players. It is short for the new golfer yet tight for the more experienced. You will work every part of your game during the round and see various shots that will only be played at DeBell.

Course conditions were down from previous play as the greens were bumpy and sandy. I surmise that they are just coming out of being punched. Normally the greens are in great condition.

The bunkers are as many Southern California courses. They are of inferior sand that has many rocks so if you do not want to gouge your irons just take an unplayable.

This is a great course to work on your came or just have a fun challenging day. The food and drink are up to par for most any course.

I have been playing this course for over 15 years and it is always been my refuge after bad experiences... great place to be also for families

Our tee time was at 10:50 am and we didn't tee off until noon. The starter said that GN and the pro shop doubled booked that day. We stopped playing at 16th hole at 5:00 pm since the play of pace was really slow.

It had been nearly 20 years since I last played De Bell golf course. The course has become even more challenging than it used to be. While the yardage is still very short (only about 5,600 yards from the back tees) this course provides a challenge for golfers of all skill levels. You can leave your driver in the bag for most holes. The sharp doglegs and narrow fairways make accuracy far more important than distance. And the small and severely sloped greens make precise approach shots and chips a must. For my 3rd shot on the par 4 forth hole I had about a 35 foot chip shot. My ball rolled to within 4 feet of the hole, and then turned sharply to the right and continued to roll all the way off the front of the green! That was the only hole with a green so severely sloped that it was really just unfair. (They need to take at least 4-5 degrees of slope out of the front of that green.) Overall, I really do like the layout. The course makes you think about every shot. I will play this course again. There are low scores to be had - if you play smart and stay in the fairways. The only big negative was the slow play. It was a 5 hour round. But unfortunately this is the "norm" in L.A. on a weekend.

My son and I played the on 02/20/2016, we were paired up with 2 other guys. We started playing @ 12:45... we called it a day by 16:45 after 11 holes. The pace was so slow that we waited for 10 to 15 mins on the tee box to tee-off. We were so disappointed, coz this has never happened at this golf course before....But in fairness, the course was in very good shape. I would play again at DeBell...and will hope that the last time that we played was just a one -off.

Played the Blues (5608/68.9/122) with RGM2525 for $15 including a cart through a course E-Mail promotion. We played through 2 groups & finished in 3H, 30M on a hot, fairly still afternoon.

The layout is quirky, tight and very hilly, the holes are constantly up/down. The course is carved out of a mountain with tremendous views of Burbank, Glendale and downtown L.A. Older course that has never been modernized (lengthened) and likely never will due to space constraints. There are many blind shots, even a par 3 where you can not see the green or the flag hidden over a hill. It would take several rounds to get a feel for this course. Where to aim and how much club to hit off different tees because of fairways that are often severely up/down hills that then slope to sidehill lies.

Miss the already narrow fairways by more than a few yards and there is a generous amount of OB, red stakes and barranca waiting to add penalty strokes to your score. Accuracy is definitely a premium even though there is no water on the course. Local knowledge on numerous greens, where to aim over blind areas and how much club to hit off numerous tees is essential to playing well here.

The tees were poor overall, many were thin and needed divot repair. Probably because it is a shorter course, there are many more tees chewed up with divots that you would expect on par 4's and even par 5's.

The fairways and rough were about 50/50 lush/thin but had good coverage overall.

The sand traps were playable, average.

The greens are very small and also VERY severely sloped on numerous holes. The greens were the best part of the course, firm, medium fast and they putted relatively smooth. Very few straight putts, be ready to aim outside the hole to way outside the hole on even shorter putts.

The kikuyu aprons and the rough close to the greens are treacherous to chip over/through even though they are not that high.

Short = yes, but this is far from an easy course. The slope rating is too low in my opinion. Longest 5608 yard course I have ever played because depending on the hole, you may be hitting a short iron, a middle iron, a long iron and only occasionally a driver off the tee on par 4's. You need to be able to accurately curve balls in both directions to be able to play longer clubs on many of these tee shots.

The customer service was excellent, they got out out soon after we arrived. Mediocre range, mats and cannot hit longer clubs. Fun, scenic course that seeing it for a 2nd time allowed me to trim 7 shots off my 1st attempt. However, I would be hard pressed to ever shoot a great score here.

켈리에서 가본 최악의 골프장 베스트5안에 들어요~

골프장상태도 안좋은데 갔던날은 티박스 다 엎어놔서 정말 최악중 최악으로 치고왔네요 엎었다는 설명하나 없었습니다..

Great course for all level of golfers ..... don't be fooled by the short yardage of the course. Cant even use a drive until at least the 6th and you better be straight with irons or there is trouble everywhere in early holes.
Back 9 a little more open but still a test right to the 18th.
Always great value for money and rarely have i played in over 4.5 hours, even at a weekend. The food also is exceptional

Definitely recommend

the course was in an excellent condition. Their fairways were especially nice on some holes. However, despite how short the course is, we were held up at every hole and people jumping hole to hole didn't make things any smoother either. Oh and there were some deers on the 1st hole's fairway which is always cool.

DeBelle is a fun course, but the pace of play was fairly slow. Also the driving range was closed and looked to be under construction.

I played in the afternoon on a Thursday and it didn't seem like it should be backed up, but it was. Mostly on the front 9. The back sped up a little.

The course is narrow, so you have to aim carefully and have a bail out in case things go awry. The course is pretty good condition, but the fairways are cut pretty close, so that may cause issues for some. Also, some of the greens were a little bumpy, nothing terrible. My biggest complaint are the tee boxes. Most are not level, so you're hitting either above or below your feet, which make it a little tougher. Also as most everyone states, most holes are short, so you will be teeing off with an iron. There we're probably 4 holes that required a driver (including 1 par 3).

All in all a fun and challenging course. Will play again, but will be more prepared to wait on most holes.

Not crowded the Sunday after Independence Day. Good pace, friendly and helpful Marshals, too.
Good job improving the pace of play.

DeBell is a a gem of a Muni course tucked up against the hills which adds to the course character and layout. Dog legs [both left and right] define this course and course management [if not familiarity] is a must. Greens and Fairways are always in great shape and you're sure to see a dear or two along the way. This course eats me up at times but it's still one of my favorites in the LA area.

I forgot how fun this little course was! Everything was good...greens were challenging and trees placed just right to make you think. The only downside was one of their marshals that did not know how to read the situation on the pace of play and got defensive when we asked him a question he didn't know how to answer. Then he would yell at people from across the fairway instead of riding up to them to talk to them. Isn't that what a cart is for? It was that kind of comedy all day! Too bad because it's a decent course.
