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.

Great course for a 7 hour round.

Pro shop puts out a 4 some every 5 minutes, ensuring that you get to enjoy counting every blade of grass while you wait for two groups to tee off on every hole. They are constant in overbooking this course to beyond maximum capacity 7 days a week, so rest assured that it will never get thru any stretch of 3 holes in less than 2 hours.

Popular golf course

The course is in great condition, cool and refreshing. It’s also a very popular course. Since it’s cool in the summer and fairly close to home, it’s definitely a golf course I’d love to visit again.

Great Bang For Your Buck

Water hazards have been low or empty for a while but other than that this is a nice little track at a reasonable price. Good location. Almost always good weather. Usually get a little back up at the par 3 at the turn but overall one of the best munis in OC.

Get your tee time when you can

Tee times can be tough to get here, but I understand a lot of veterans get first dibs. Let em have it, they deserve more. Course staff and overall quality of the course is great. Much nicer than other courses in the area. Staff is chill, food and drinks available at the turn. Nothing but good times..

Want an open and forgiving yet challenging course?

First time. Played blues (I’m a 10 handicap). Course was challenging in that you can miss the fairways and still play your ball but you will be challenged by mature trees. Take it over the tree but can you carry the distance or try to hit a stinger and go low? Fairways great shape, greens a little slow but amazing shape and rolled true. No trick greens. You make a good putt, you will be rewarded. Played behind 4 Asian fellas who really liked to line up putts (talking 2 minutes a putt). But only thing negative. Surprise snack bar around hole 13 is a welcome reward. Cannot wait to play again!
