Type Military

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.

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.

In that case, shouldn't it be closed instead of a hot deal?

All the greens in 18 hole course was closed for maintenance so I played 9 hole course and that course was poorly maintained and very poor condition. Staffs were kind and informed me about the course conditions. My complaint is on Golfnow for not informing about the course to the customers before the booking

This is a great course for the price you have to pay! One of the nicer courses for the price in the LA/OC area. Tee to green the course played well. Will book another round soon here!
