Course Highlights
Navy Golf Course consistently impresses with a challenging layout featuring a strong mix of greenside bunkers and water hazards. Well-maintained conditions, friendly clubhouse staff, and reasonable pricing make this course excellent value.

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.

I absolutely love this course however, on this particular day pace of play was miserable. Our round and we were only a twosome, took five hours and 25 minutes.

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.
