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.

Decent 9 hole for money

My friend and I went to play this on a hot Saturday afternoon and it ended up pretty good. By no means is this course gonna blow you out of the water, but friendly staff, a good snack bar, and a pretty well sized driving range make up for that. We blew by the 9 holes in a little over an hour. Overall I rate it 3.5/5, very good for what it is.

Sunday Golf

We picked this course because it's a par 3 walking course and we were scheduled to play with our grandsons. It's a good course to practice your short game. The hamburgers we had when we finished were very very good.

Ok for the price

If we didn't have a golf now membership, we probably wouldn't play Van Nuys. For 5-10$/round, it's worth it, but I wouldn't pay full price.

Affordable and Fun

Had a great morning round at Van Nuys. It was chilly but greens were in good shape and the price is surely right. Nice food and beer options as well (breakfast burrito was amazing). I totally recommend this for a fun easy relaxing nine with your buddies. You tee off on mats is the only true drawback.

Fun little executive

If you only have a couple hours come play this fun little 9 hole course. Mats are worn and need replacement and the fairways aren't great but the greens are awesome and pace of play is worth the price. 3 decent par 4'a let you bring out the driver and work in long game. The 2 Hot Dogs for 6 bucks are great!
