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.

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.

Perfect weather

Fun round

It has been many years but it was my 2nd or 3rd time playing and the first time for my friend. We enjoyed the course and though I haven't played in 15+ years, this course was the right one to start my quest of becoming a regular player again.

I love this Neighborhood course

I would definitely recommend this course. I try to play here as often as I can. The staff here is the friendliest so you would feel welcome right away! The weather was perfect today and the pace of play too. Sometimes it can be a little crowded on weekend, but it’s worth it ;-).

You got 3 x 4 par holes and the others from 85 to 150 yard!
