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.

Very nice green and fun to challenge myself!

This golf course is our No. 1 preferred place near my area. The whole course yds are challenge to women's but their features are such beautiful!

Me and my husband feel this golf place is like a test course to check your handy as it seems easy as wide and long but has enough hazards too!

I sure recommend to play at this place when you have a chance to visit this area.

Flat but challenging

Good conditions and flat layout. Makes for easy driver shots but there are many water holes that feature deceptively narrow landing areas. Greens were in good shape. Except for the lack of course marshal anywhere when the course is worth playing.

Navy Destroyer is an underrated gem in Long Beach area

I've lived in the South Bay for about 4 years. As we all know public golf in SoCal is tough - long rounds, with mediocre conditions make it frustrating to play on a regular basis. Because of this I really feel Navy is a underrate gem-pace of play is always pretty good (I've played 20+ times and never had a round longer than 5 hours) and their conditioning is always good to excellent. I like the staff as they are friendly. Their booking system is pretty simple to use and I've never had a problem getting a time online. It's a pretty good layout and but not super challenging.
