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.

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

Great course

Love this course. Pace kinda sucks on Mondays. They have military Mondays so it’s gonna be a lot of vets out there. Weekends are impossible to get tee times so good luck. But layouts awesome, great course to play

Over booking

I had a 2:06 on Thursday, I got there early so I could hit a bucket of balls, at 1:20 the starter came over to the range and asked me if we were ready, he said we could get off early, I still had a half a bucket left, but figured okay, so I gave my balls to the guy next to me and we started over to the first tee, as we arrived at the starters booth there was a group of ladies on the green, group of ladies in the fairway and a group of ladies waiting to tee off, the starter was hurrying them up to tee off even though there were ladies right in front of them in the fairway, after they teed off, he put us with a single and we were third up, I’m like really, so I grabbed my putter and putted for 20 minutes, and then we still had to wait for 20 minutes to tee off, and he was pushing everyone off really fast, my buddy hits his driver 280 , so he switched to his 3 wood, and when we teed off we were stacked up like a Sunday afternoon at LAX, it took us 5 1/2 hours to play, at the 3rd hole we were backed up 2 deep, by the 7th tee we were backed up 4 deep, even the cart girl said what’s up, I’m gonna call the manager and ask for a credit, it’s not cheap to golf there unless you’re a service member, I think it was a waste of good money, we got iced down at every hole from the 3rd hole on, and this is the second time the starter has done this to me,from now on I will just keep my tee time and enjoy the range balls that I paid for, someone needs to train the starter and they need to stop the double booking for the people that pay 14 dollars , it’s not fair to the people that paid regular price, get a grip Navy

Beautiful course with delightful ocean breeze

Our first time playing the Destroyer course and we were very pleased. Though it is very long and challenging,, the layout is really nice and the wiide open fairways are welcoming. We look forward to the next round there!

Wonderful yet annoying

The course is wonderful, well-kept and the staff is great. Unfortunately, my experience was disrupted a few times due to slow play and a group behind that was loud and inconsiderate. They repeatedly hit into me without apologizing, which made it difficult to enjoy the round. I ended up leaving before finishing.
