Destroyer at Seal Beach Navy Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Need s Repairs
Use to be a good course. Now just paid $70 to play on dirt fairways
Used to be a gem
I can't count how many times I've called this course my favorite course in the area, but that all changed today. The conditions at heartwell or costa mesa CC are better. The greens are being eaten by fungus and have turned to dirt on every hole on the destroyer course. The tee boxes have thin grass on every box. You can see the dirt. I don't mind the dry lake beds because we can play out of them, but I am blown away by how horrible this golf course has become. I was here a month ago and the greens were at least in good condition. You can't even putt them. No reading these greens. It's embarassing. This course was lovely when Trump was directing this governments troop amenities. I wonder what's changed?
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us, devinfalk. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting Destroyer at Seal Beach Navy Golf Course, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Drought conditions
This course is in desperate need of water. Fairways are rock hard, dry and bare. All water hazards except one on hole 5 are dry lake beds. Greens are bumpy and full of imprints and un-repaired ball marks. Bunkers have little to no sand consisting of hard pan under a thin layer of dirt. Tee boxes are hit and miss with grass. Course was in much better shape in winter.

Not worth what they are charging
Not sure what is happening here but fairways are bone dry with bare spots in between dry patches of grass. Bunkers have more hard packed dirt than sand, Dry lakes on all former water hazards and hard, dry, bumpy greens. Foursome of Asian men in front of us were painfully slow. Our group waited for five minutes on every shot and 10 minutes for them to putt. No one enforcing pace of play.

Starters was confused
The person who was running the tee times looked lost. It was unorganized and too many tee times together. I hope Corona courses get maintained better again so there are more options than this course.

Greens was tricky
Usually have good experience but 50 year old white marshall was horrible. The tone he talks to players and not just one group but overall was rude. He gives off a bad vibe not inky for himself but he just has bad aura. He needs to watch his tone especially for someone making minimum wage. If he is so mad at his own life, he should actually do something with his life. Be happy brokey and enjoy your free perks of playing for free once in while.

Marshall is a bitter person haha
Enjoyed but marshall could learn some manners. He seemed mad at life which is a bummer for him. Golf is fun.

Finished 18 at 3:30 start
The Korean bro at the checkin is always nice. I teed off early with my playing partner Dillion and was an enjoyable round. Learned some things and spent time with someone who enjoys golf as much as I do. Good times and I enjoyed the fast greens. Trees in play so have to navigate along with the bunkers. I like the free relief drop aspect on this course. Hole 10 Par 3 I believe gets a bit backed up due to layout.
