Destroyer at Seal Beach Navy Golf Course
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.

Pleasant Surprise.
The "Destroyer" is a mature "Old School" course offering mature trees and several dog legs that offer some risk/reward choices depending on your angle off the tee and approach. You are definitely rewarded for staying in the fairway and if you stray, will often find trees challenging your next shot. Sometimes its best to just take your medicine...
While I was disappointed that the range was not open, I do understand that due to its proximity to the neighborhood homes, they open a little later in the morning. The course staff are friendly and accommodating, the course was in good condition, with the large greens being the highlight. It's nice to find challenging greens that offer undulation and interesting pin placement. The pace of play was decent at around 4 hours and 15 minutes or less, but I can imagine that during weekends, that might increase, but that applies to every course.
Some of the fairways could use some attention, but the course overall was in good shape for the price. The course is in the process of updating and improving the on course bathrooms, the snack shack on course is well stocked, again tended by a friendly staff. The Club House is nice, the restaurant seems to have a good selection of food and they offer a full bar.
I had the honor of playing with two retired veterans and the Navy Course seems to draw quite a few current and retired military personnel. It was a pleasure to play with these gentlemen (Including a Distinguished Flying Cross recipient).
Overall, for the price, it was a fun round on a quality course for the money. I will work this course into my rotation a little more often. From the excellent staff, good conditions and friendly playing partners, it was a great day!
Ghawd it was slow
Tees off at 11:15 and finished at 4:10. Waited on every hole after the third hole. Sometimes there were more than two groups waiting. Maybe a marshall could help or maybe spacing of starting times would help.
Course was in great condition, with only one or two tee boxes were in rough shape and the greens are healing nicely from the aeration. Overall, the day was great, and we did get to see the Thunderbirds take off and land at the 18th fairway. Very cool.
Best green complexes youll find!
Great course, good challenge, great greens. Lil slow pace, but worth it!
Needs Marshalls to help speed up pace
Needs marshalls, needs more restrooms, needs a players club
Good SoCal Course
For SoCal standards this is a very good course. SoCal courses typically are brown with tons of dead spots. This course takes better care of their grounds for a public course. Also they just aerated and the course was in good shoe considering that just happened. Crazy value on the price too. Will play every time I’m in SoCal
Great round
Probably the best value in SoCal. Great course. Great staff. Great day of golf. Greens were punched and I can’t wait to play again when they come around.
Aerification
I’d stay away from navy for a week or two, half the greens are temporary and they are working on fairways with the puncher.
They need the Marshall's to speak to the slow golfers who play at a slow pace.

Great layout. Fair challenge for 125 slope from the white tees
Fun
It was fun but a little to slow for myself. I wish that they had a marshal move the play along.
Beautiful course !
Went there for the first time, as I heard it is a nice course!
It is a great course for such a great value on the week end. Not easy to book and see why ! but worth it ! Highly recommend.
Excellent Condition
The Navy Destroyer course was in the best condition of any course I've played this year. Fairways like carpet, fast greens with enough contour to keep one's interest. Fast pace of play in the early morning. Going back soon
Hot Deal
Got a Hot Deal for a week out at the Destroyer. Got some friends to play. Greens and fairways were in really good shape.
여름 골프
오늘은 노동절이라 그런지 풀북킹이 되어서 오후 2시에 시작해서 17홀 까지 5시간 30분 소요 했습니다
마지막 18홀은 어두워서 못치고 나왔네요
앞으로 휴일에는 가지않을 생각입니다
Great experience
First time playing here but won't be the last. Tip of the cap to the greenskeepers. Greens were an absolute A and fairways a B+. And I'm picky about condition. Tee boxes in good shape, only criticism is there are a couple that could be more level.
Our threesome played in 4 hours even, even though it was moderately busy, so no complaints there either. Good value imo.
