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.

Course was in great condition

Course was in great condition. Played early in the morning and the pace of play was great! I don't know if there are tee times in the early morning that often, but when available, I would snag them.

Tees and fairways were fine, greens were being aerated and sanded so temp greens made course 'eaiser'.

Aerification alert.

Aerification alert means temporary greens which makes every hole 30 to 40 yards shorter and no putting. Was expecting sand on greens but not this.

Shocked

I love this course and have played it for years as a So Cal native. This is the worst I’ve ever seen the course conditions. The fairways are a wreck and the greens are incredibly slow and bumpy. It also seems like the staff has become very irritable with the poor conditions, the starter was rude and there was no marshal. It took us over 5 hours to play on a Thursday morning, c’mon man. I’m not sure if they changed management recently but it’s shocking how bad this facility has become!
