Destroyer at Seal Beach Navy Golf Course
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.

Friday Golf
We had a very early teatime got there early didn’t realize the greens were just punched which would’ve been cool for Golf now to say that, but none nonetheless they gave us a discount for the inconvenience. Course is an excellent condition, especially for the value. Staff seemed friendly, very fair with the discounted rate. Excited to play the greens once everything’s grown back. Course has some challenges, but forgiving enough pretty easy to find your ball even after a bad shot pace of play was phenomenal considering we had a 6:30 AM teatime. I understand it’s early but I miss the days when there was always someone driving around with snack, snacks, and drink drinks while you were playing around.
Aerification
Normally this is a very nice course. But didn’t realize tell we got to the course that they had several holes with temporary greens in the fairway which had also been punched. It was $39/ person walking but still not worth that price.
Aerating
Wish there was a way for GolfNow or the course to tell GolfNow that they are aerating the greens and they are all closed. The only way of finding out that was when you get to the course and the course has it posted on the front door. They don’t mention that the front nine fairways are just being aerated and the soil cores have not been cleaned up. Not even on the temp greens!! I just feel ripped off. I’m fully aware that aeration is a necessity, but PLEASE let the information known.
Temporary Greens
Greens were only in the fairway and the fairway was being punched. So you can’t even putt it out.
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.
Destroyer Course
I had a great time and the course was in great condition, if you haven’t already tried this course, give it a try, challenging but fair for the normal player as myself, Thanks Navy 🇺🇸
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.
