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.

Course should be closed when they do aeration. The course close their greens and put a flag and hole in the fairway . To make it worst they also aerate the fairway. This was the worst golf experience I ever had. I used golf now app and payed more then what was charge at the course and it was supposed to be a hot deal price.

Rude staff

I got to the first tee 6mins ahead of my tee time but I was told that my group has teed off and to skip the first hole, then we spent 5 hours on a Monday waiting on the rest of 17 holes and no marshal to be found. I’ve never met a starter who was extremely rude like this one. Not going back.

Fantastic course and conditions. Horrible pace

Such beautiful course with great conditions and greens. But they’re times every 9 minutes and the lack of a Marshall enforcing pace of play the rounds and the back ups get long. Today took 3 hours and 20minutes to play 13 holes and left for dinner. Last week was 4 hours and 45 for 18holes.

Why have to share Golf Cart !

The staff insist to ask me to share a cart with another player regardless there are plenty of carts available. The course is great, and pace is fairly reasonable, but I really don't understand why staff have to fit 2 players into one cart. Thanks.

Unfortunate first time experience

Very excited to play this course with my son. Unfortunately after the 2nd hole we came to a grinding halt. each tee box had 3-4 groups. No marshall to help pace of play. and that is a killer for golf experience. no snack cart, no 9th hole food. we left after 11 as it was not worth waiting 15-20 minutes each tee box. Overall and interesting layout and in fairly good condition. Understand that its reasonably priced public course but there needs to be better management of players. Hope they figure it out.

Friday Round

We played the Destroyer course for the first time! Wow were very happy with the condition of the cpourse@ Fairways and Greens were in very good shape of a public course! It was 90 degrees so very hot! Pace of play a little slow! We had a tee time of 1:39pm and only made it to thru 13th hole. It's tough when you mix in walkers with cart play and don't spread out tee times. That is only way to keep flow of the course moving! It's an art ! Great value and will be playing again!
