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.

Great, fun course!

I play this course occasionally. This course offers the perfect difficulty level for me. The course condition is excellent, but what bothers me is that people don't fix their ball marks on the green. I fixed 3~5 ball marks per green. Maybe I should ask for a discount next time. LOL

Navy Country Club

This course is in great shape. They take very good care of it. Layout is challenging. We got done in 3 hours 40 minutes. The group aged of us was about a hole behind maybe more but once they felt us their backs they picked up the pace. Didn’t use any amenities so can’t comment. As long as they keep the 10 minutes between groups and no 5-somes this club should be nice.

Great Course

I finally got a chance to play the Navy Destroyer Course since the Covid shut down, I can’t say anything bad about it except our pace of play, other than that, if you get a chance or you can find a available tee time, please come give it a try, you won’t be disappointed, from the staff, all the way too the greens, it is a gem !! From top to bottom, they are running on all cylinders, from Ashley to the starter, you will be impressed, not to mention the fairways and greens, I hate to say it because I want a quick return round, but I will share, hit and putt them straight and have a great day, thanks Navy Staff

Best course in the OC

I've been playing this course since 2000 and it never disappoints. Greens are always nice and true. Fairways are always full of grass and no dead spots or mud. Very busy, so it is hard to get a early tee time. Best course at this price.

Golfnow- Covid

Hey Golfnow, I’ve left a message and email in regards to a 4th golfer having to cancel due to Covid.

I was hoping to get his fee refunded. The golf course starter was aware and confirm only 3 of us golfed.

Thanks, Cameron
