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.

Slow play

I love the course layout and the greens are a challenge. Many greens are protected with green side bunkers.

Only complaint is the pace of play. I’ve played the course a number of times and the pace is slow, rounds are always around 5 hours or more.

Need a course marshal to keep slow groups.on time. Large gaps between foursomes.

Still a fun course to play. I’ll play again.

Not like it use to be

Greens are sandy and unkept, fairways are not what they use to be, slow pace and worst of all don’t get ice from the snack shack on destroyer. Was in a dirty bucket in ground thet was lined with cheap trash bag. It had dirt and smelt like plastic. Ruined my drink I out in it. Not satisfied which is a shame cause I loved this course
