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.

I Recommend This Course
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.
