About

Holes 18
Type Military
Par 72
Length 6780 yards
Slope 129
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.

Do not waste your time booking a twilight!

Tried to give this course another shot, but this will be the last time playing there. After 2pm, there is no starter, no Marshall…absolutely no one to enforce pace of play. Tried calling the pro shop and you get the busy signal. I find it ridiculous that you can’t finish 18 holes in over 5 hours! Pace is absolutely brutal.

Course canceled my time golfnow didn't refund me.

, somebody at the course had canceled my tee time without asking or anything like that they just canceled the time so I had to wait an extra hour for and got lucky to have another tee time and hour later was able to play the round but since I played a round, golf now decided to not refund me anything even though they took my booking fee so I paid a booking fee and the normal course price I lost about 30 bucks in this transaction and golf now is saying since you played golf we're not going to refund you. That's some b*******

Didn't let us finish

We started the destroyer course at 4:30 P.M. We were asked to leave the course at 7:30 when there were still plenty of light out. We only got to hold 13. I wish they would have told us when we paid this information. I probably would not have played if I knew this. The staff should mention that to people who are scheduling a late round.
