Rating 72.8
The Navy Golf Course Seal Beach is a 27-hole facility that includes the championship Destroyer Course and the nine-hole executive Cruiser Course. The 6,780-yard Destroyer Course presents a challenge even for low handicappers with a slew of hazards coming into play throughout. The small greens have challenging slopes ranging from subtle breaks to dramatic drop-offs. To make them even tougher, you'll find strategically placed bunkers lurking along the edges. The tricky doglegs, which are mostly par 4s, will force you to think carefully about your club selection, and to top it all off, water makes an appearance on almost every hole. It's a long golf course that feels even longer due to the rolling terrain, but it is more forgiving than it seems with long, wide fairways that won't penalize you for being slightly errant.

Course itself is great. Place of play is the worst in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Almost 4 hours to play nine holes. The price is relatively low, driving customers to be largely elderly that are just learning to play golf. I believe if they raised the prices for non mindset it would likely make it less crowded and infinitely more enjoyable.

Excellent 18 hole course at a great price.
We had a great time and finished 15 holes in 4:30, albeit the last hole was pretty dark. Excellent pace of play with the only bottleneck at the Par 3 over water. Course conditions were excellent. As an added bonus, the Cafe has excellent food.

Fun day golfing
I enjoy playing Navy Destroyer. Good layout. Course in very decent condition. Only issue, seems to back up around hole 11 & never picks up. Think a Marshall would help keep pace of play moving
