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.

Amazing course

It is good to be back playing at the Destroyer course.

Greens are meticulous.

Staffs are professional and courteous.

Restaurant at the club house is a top notch.

Looking forward to the next round.

Cancelled

Yesterday we got there on time but were told that the t time was cancelled, the staff was very nice and friendly but we couldn’t find GolfNow contact information to make a call to clear the issue, really don’t understand why GolfNow hides the contact information, what they are afraid of?! Until today I can’t find the contact information, Nobody contacted me,it’s really waste of time and money!

Challenging fun course

The course is challenging but the greens had been punched a few weeks earlier. Always fun to be able to watch navy helicopters and planes taking off. The course has many doglegs and long par 3’s. Pace of play was just over 4 hours.

Best course around!

I have been playing this course since it was military only. My only complaint is that as a veteran I cannot get a tee time. Ever since covid, it is impossible. The Koreans have taking over this course with their autobot scheduling. It's a shame that a Navy veteran cannot get a tee time on a Navy course. Should just change the name. Conditions are always great, kudos to the greens keepers. Staff is always friendly. Marshall on this day was cool.
