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.

NO TEE TIMES

You send e-mails to book tee times but none are ever available. We used to play about every week before the pandemic but now it's next to impossible get on your course. Very frustrating indeed. No sense rating the course when you can't play the course.

Hidden gem

Played there with rain forecasted, starter was kind enough to let us play 1 hr before our tee time, the rain was not a big deal but the course, especially the green was in excellent condition. Putting on the rolling hills like greens was really fun. Most of the water hazards were drained and not very good looking, hopefully they are doing some work to get it back. Locals told us this was the course Tiger played when he was young and pointed to a tree at #18 that's where Tiger used to tee off. Occasional chopper flying by was nice to observe as well.

They let family and friends jump ahead.

Didn't appreciate family and friends jump ahead and sliw the pace down. Every hole was 15-30 mins wait.
