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.

Very nicely manicured

Teed off at 2:33 PM and the greens were rolling great for an afternoon round and the fairways were perfectly manicured. Nice lush, tightly mowed kikuyu. Had perfect lies the whole day!

Good conditions!

This course is in good shape! we really enjoyed our round. It backed up on the 9th hole and we had to leave early. Hated to leave because it was such a beautiful day and nice people. Course is in better condition than the other public courses in Long Beach. There was sand in the bunkers!
