About

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.

Excellent greens

Prior to this round, played the course nearly a year ago and the greens were in horrible condition. Literally, unplayable with vast amounts dug out and sand-filled.

What a difference a year makes. The greens are in excellent condition running fast and smooth. The speed of the greens making for challenging short game recoveries. Kudos to the course superintendent/greens keeper for the amazing turnaround.

Short winter day

Just another nice day of golf. Got all 18 played. Fairways were cut, greens were slopey and challenging.

I hit long shots better than short piches and putts so I don't score well, but golf is my fun.
