Eighteen Hole at Van Nuys Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Located just south of the airport, Van Nuys Golf Course has a unique location that provides an air show with anything from WWII Warbirds to F16 Falcons. It can be loud occasionally, but it's also one of the most affordable rounds in the area. There are two golf courses available, an 18-hole par-3 course and a nine-hole executive course. Neither of the courses are terribly formidable, but it's a great spot for getting in some practice. It's ideal for beginners but golf enthusiasts of any skill level will appreciate that the facility stays open late and both golf courses and the driving range are equipped with lights. The Van Nuys par-3 course offers good short game practice. There are a few bunkers and some strategically placed palm trees, but it's a very user-friendly golf course overall. It's even gentle enough for juniors.

Improvements coming soon!
Not sure if someone bought this location but a lot of new additions are coming. I can see more people working on the corse and adding new things by the end of 2025.
Do not play. Save your $$$
Everything was being redone for "new management." No liquor license. No pro shop. Entire course looks like a a sad forgotten backyard. Pace of play was slow because there were no official tee times or starters - just go whenever you feel like it. Not a collared shirt or belt in sight. I'd played this course years ago and remember having a nice time. I will not be going back.
Fun layout for short game but needs some serious tlc
Looks like they’re under renovation which is totally fine. But all the trash/beer bottles, beer cans, empty 12 pack boxes left out on the range? No excuse for that. It’s a 9hole par 3, how hard is it for staff to make sure people clean up after themselves?
My go to par 3 neighborhood course!
This ia an 18 hole par 3 (Par 54) course. The holes average 90-130 yards. It has some difficulties because some of the trees are making the fairway narrow. It is however easy to walk and the greens are in fairly good shape, There is always people that don't fix their divots and have a slow pace of play, but it's usually pretty good. Weekends can be a little crowded bin the middle of the day, so I'm trying to avoid that time. The staff is great too!
They have an Executive course as well + a driving range!
See you there ;-)
Great availability
This course great for beginners or experienced players. The fairways are rough, however the greens are good. Great place to get your fix.
Van Nuys Golf Course Becomes Gopher Farm
I'm 65 years of age. I absolutely LOVE GOLF!
I have been playing this course since my recent recovery from hip replacement surgery to get my swing back in shape.
I cannot believe how bad the course has become with nearly more gopher holes than fairway! My last 2 rounds have been disturbingly disappointing. Each round, I have stepped in gopher hole and injured my ankle and calf! It seems to be getting worse, not better. Is ownership doing anything about it? It does not appear so. Of course, the fairways are also sparse with green grass. Dirt and dry grass are nearly 50%
Heck, even the parking lot is worsening with potholes.
I have played this course for many years but as my game progressed, I play numerous other courses. Then came my hip surgery and I returned to Van Nuys golf course as part of my recovery, yet I have injured myself both times back because of the poor course conditions (mostly gopher hole issues).
Unfortunately, I can no longer advocate for this golf course until improvement are made.
Awesome
It was wonderful.
Beautiful weather.
Excellent scenery.
All around GREAT TIME…
