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.

Reasonably priced for beginner golfers.

This course remains in good condition over the years. It’s a nice little course for beginners. Green fees are super affordable when you book through GolfNow. I don’t mind playing here when I go out with my son and nephew who are relative beginners.

Never play this course

It’s the worst place.

Better to play in your backyard.

Place is a dump.

Not worth paying even a dollar.

Will not play even it’s free.

Great 18 hole 3 par in the neighborhood!

Great course for beginners and who wants to work on their par 3 shots. Holes are from 90 to 135yards.

I will be back again for sure!

Horrible!

First of all the tees are mats. They are worn down old mats. The fairways are mostly dirt. The one plus is the the greens are great! You just go through horrible conditions to her there. Total junk show!

I love this neighborhood course

I will definitely recommend this course to everyone which will give you 3 par 4’s so you can practice your driver too! The greens are in great shape. Very easy Lay-out and the course is open and fairly easy, but would say it’s good for everyone!

It’s a great deal! The staff is the best and really enjoy coming back time after time!

If you are up for a 18 hole 3 par, they have that too at the same location and I like both of the Course's!

Van nuys good for beginners.

Friendly wide open par 3s. Good place to learn. Grass is spotty around the greens but it’s not too too bad. No real tee boxes and the mats are 100 years old. Need replacing ASAP. Some of the cups could do with replacing as well. They won’t even hold the flag straight. Quick little short game round was fun. Greens very decent considering.

Love this Neighborhood course

It has 6 par 3’s and 3 par 4’s so you Get to use your driver as well!

The greens was in excellent condition, but little enjoying that they watering and maintenance going on while playing. I guess that’s why it looks as good as it does around the greens.
