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.

Different layout; greens have movement

Course has lots of elevation changes and doglegs. Greens are tough putts with slopes and undulations. Carts are beat to crap and could use upgrades.

Second hole still has construction happening which shortens hole and turns it into a par 3. Third hole has a massive fallen tree in the middle blocking everything just before the little ravine in front of the green.

Had a good time. Everyone friendly. Course conditions good.

Fun and moderately challenging

Tucked away in the foothills of Burbank, Debell was a pleasure to play. The views were excellent, course and clubhouse premium and well maintained, and other players very accommodating to two green players on the course for the first time.

The layout of the course is unique. Many of the holes are wrapping around a hill or mountainside or have elevation drops or gains. The fairways are medium width and lined by moderate to heavy vegetation most the time, so losing a ball or two is going to happen. The combination of these characteristics makes this a moderately challenging/technical course.

Will play again and recommend to friends.

Nice course.

I enjoyed the round. The course was in good condition. First time playing here. I teed off at 1:40 and started on time. I was able to finish 18 in about 4hrs and 15 min. Certain holes are narrow and challenging, especially with surrounding trees in play. My only complaint is that the electric carts look a bit old, but they did the job. I would play here again.

Nice views!

Nice little course. Very short from the back tees even. 2nd and 3rd holes are under construction and both play like par 3s (wasn’t told that at booking or even check in).

Great Value

$30 including cart. Friendly staff. Clean/modern pro shop with lots of clothing/gear. Awesome grill/bar. Beautiful surroundings up in Burbank mountains. The place looks like an upscale space at cheap rates. It’s a short course. Lots of par 4s and 3s a couple par 5s. All the tee offs are really fun. Greens are in great condition. Not a lot of obstacles between the box and the greens. They’re doing construction on a couple holes at the moment. It’s the perfect spot for the intermediate golfer looking to have a good day or for a beginner golfer looking for a challenge. The 10th hole was an uphill beast. Ring the bell!

Interesting layout but some courses are under construction

Most of the holes are a bit short, but if you're not careful, you'll have to be prepared for a penalty.

The course layout is cute and fun.

However, there is an area under construction and the tee box has been moved to the front.

Super Slow Pace

Unfortunately I would not recommend Debell

Pace of play was super slow. At one point there was 3-4 groups backed up . Two guys behind us quit. Hard to play and have a good time when you’re waiting over10 minutes to play next hole. When the course books every ten minutes and nobody was there to move things along.

This was my decline time playing and is my last.

Construction on hole 2, 3, 4, 5 caused problems.

Course on first few holes except hole 1 were in construction. They should have informed us beforehand. Not very happy!
