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.

Staff is unfriendly and have no principles

The Navy Golf Course staff are too unfriendly and have no principles. Last time, the staff pull on some team front then my team, but their tee time is behind mine. Today, the staff pull on a group where not all members have come. They stayed in the middle of Fairway No. 1 without proceeding while waiting for other members who had not yet come. My team is already on standby, waiting for the next turn. But for the group where only two members arrived, the staff made us wait again, saying their tee time was ahead of me. When the member arrived, the staff pulled a golf cart to pick him up. Eventually we got to start late, and the staff pull on us for 40 minutes waiting for another group member who arrived late. Last time I didn't complain, the staff seemed to think of us easily, so today I went to the pro shop to complain. They offered to report to the manager, but I didn't see the results. The course is good and the price is good, but the navy is a bad place because of the staff.

Nice Place to Play

This is a great course to walk as there are no noticeable elevation changes. Greens are pretty large and have lots and of contours. The course has a fair amount of water which can come into play on several holes. The course layout has wide fairway and it’s difficult to lose a ball unless you put it over the fence or in the water. Great pace of play with 10 min tee times as our round on a Friday afternoon was 4 hours.
