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.

Staff is terrible

The Asian guy at the starter was probably the worst person I have encountered on a golf course

Can be better

The course layout is confusing, the grass is basically dirt on many holes. There is no enforced of rules on the course, and the is no staff anywhere but the club house to help.

Go somewhere else- anywhere else

I wasn’t expecting much, but it was worse than I expected. Mats were terrible, no fairways, and the greens were pretty bad as well. Would literally play anywhere else

Terrible management and pace of play

They don’t respect tee times. You could have a tee time for 10am, but if there is a line of people waiting to walk on you have to go to the end of the line even though you have a tee time. Management said you can’t cut even if you paid for a tee time!

Pace of play is terrible. Literally 10 people waiting in the queue to tee off, per hole. It is so backlogged that you spend more time waiting to tee off then you did playing the hole before.

excellent value

first time here, will not be the last.

the greens are in excellent condition compared to other par 3 courses in the area, but the fairways, if you can call them that because it is a par 3 course, are a little dry.

7am tee time

Got out early on a Sunday. Not too many golfers. Pace of play was great. Weather was fantastic. Greens are in excellent condition for a small par 3 course but they are over watered. Still enjoyed my round.
