Eighteen Hole at Van Nuys Golf Course

Good practice facility for locals. Okay snack bar.

I drive by the course all the time, so finally decided to give it a try.

Unfortunately, trying to book online is literally impossible. It appears their system does not communicate properly with GolfNow so when you try to book an open tee time, they do not send a confirmation back, so you are not able to complete the reservation.

The only way to book getting the rates is to call GolfNow directly, have them then call the golf course, hope they answer, and then get a manual booking (which at times is more expensive than what's listed on the web site.)

So by the off chance you actually get to book online and get a good deal ($4-10 is great, but I wouldn't pay the $22 for just walking up) give it a shot.

The course isn't in terrible condition, but it's not great either. Some of the mats are in better condition than others. The greens are in ok shape.

There aren't really any marshals about that I saw, which normally isn't a big problem on par 3 courses, but in the 2 times I've been I have noticed that the pace of play of the people here is *incredibly* slow.

I got stuck behind a group of 3 people all sharing one set of clubs, and taking 20 minutes per hole. A pace that'd be slow on a par 5 let along a hole that's 95 yds away.

There were also people just playing the same few holes over and over again, which is fine when there are no people waiting but becomes problematic when it starts to back up holes.

So if you just want to go golfing for as cheap as possible, this place is great when you can play for $5. Otherwise, move on.

It was a fantastic time. I invited some friends and played 18holes. Not bad, the only thing it is a public course so you get the random non golfer trying to swing away. Other than that, just bring great company and enjoy a short game challenge.

Fun course to play. Not too difficult. Great day for golf.

The course was in great shape. Greens were slick and tightly cropped. Fairways had a 1st and 2nd cut. Hit off mats though. Fun and quick - no waiting.

This course is directly under the Van Nuys airport final approach, so its very noisy. The fairways are so close together that there is no rough so you have to be on your toes to stay in the right lane. All of the tee's are on asphalt with a driving range style artificial turf square and its a walking course.
It was my wife's first golf round ever and she enjoyed it because it was an easy course. No water hazards and bunkers are all in the rough.
Overall because of extremely low price, ease of play and the staff, did I mention the price? less than a movie ticket, it was worth it.

Good way to kill an hour and get a litte practice. Got a hot deal for $3 to play this 9-hole executive. You tee off of a mat, so you get the idea of what kind of course this is. Decent practice for chipping and putting. There are 3 par-4 holes and they are all strangely in a row...all super short. 280 yds or so. Decent practice areas for chipping/putting.

This course is really good for beginners and really helps to practice your short game but it needs more maintenance specially needs to changed a lots of Holes signage which is really rusty and missing signage.

WATCH THE TREES TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT OF FAIRWAYON NO 15... AND PACK AN EXTRA BALL JUST IN CASE...

Decent course to scratch the golf fix Real good practice facility and decent course

I have played Van Nuys off and on for the last 30 years. In the summer of 2013, I had never seen the course in worse conditions. The fairways were clearly not being watered. I must say that management have the facility around 180 degrees. It looks like some TLC is being put back into the place. Greens were in excellent condition and it resembles the golf course I grew up playing. If they keep it up, I will return for more as this is a great place to hone your skills

I dont mind hitting on mat at tee off but atleast the matts should be on good condition.. lots of them are tearing up. Greens on some hole needs maintainance. Otherwise its a nice course to hone your irons. Pace of play was great considering.we played on a saturday.

The par 3 couse needs to new mats on the tees, need new hole # signs, etc. It seems that someone has made the conscious decision to let the course go w/o any maintenance.

I played a hot deal which cost i believe 4$. When i was finished with the round I decided that i wanted to do a replay so i went into the pro shop and asked "Mike" the guy they had working there how much it was. He told me that it would be 17$ for a replay (which is completely not worth it for this course). I had asked him if he was sure that was the "replay" price and he insisted that it was. So I told him that i was going to go outside and book another tee time on golfnow and as i hit the door "Mike" told me that if I booked another tee time online he would not honor it and would not let me tee off. I then turned around and asked him if he knew how golfnow hot deals worked and that they would take the money out of my account. Mike then said that he did not care and would not let me tee off. I left and will nvr return. The course is not that bad if your paying the hot deal price but anything other than that, its not worth it.

That's good for
biginner's practice short game cources.
I am very happy to go to play again.
But they don't take single player on HOT deal, didn't go through it.

Thanks, I like very much.

NEW KID BEHIND THE DESK WAS NON TOO FRIENDLY. I DON'T REALLY LIKE THAT I CAN NOT BE REFUNDED FOR MY GOLFNOW RSVP FOR ONE DAY, AND INSTEAD HAVE IT MOVED TO ANOTHER. NEW KID WASN'T THE BEST AT EXPLAINING THIS TO US AND INSTEAD THOUGHT WE WERE PULLING A FAST ONE ON THEM. THEIR PRO-SHOP/STARTERS NEED TO BE RE-EVALUATED. THEIR STAFF NEEDS TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THAT "CUSTOMER SERVICE" & "STAFF FRIENDLINESS" SHOULD BE PRIORITY #1. ESPECIALLY ON A DAY WHEN IT WAS RAINING; YOU WOULD THINK THE FEW PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO GOLF IN IT, WOULD BE TREATED A LITTLE BIT NICER. NOT TO MENTION THE COURSE IS IN POOR SHAPE AND IN DESPERATE NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. I'VE LIVED IN THE S.F.VALLEY FOR OVER 30 YEARS AND I AM COMPLETELY OKAY WITH LIVING HERE ANOTHER 30 WITHOUT EVER HAVING TO PLAY VAN NUYS GOLF COURSE AGAIN.

Solid, was wide open , only lost a couple balls. Occasional airplanes

My wife and I played a very relaxed round on the executive course. The greens were in very good shape. The fairways were still needing a bit more to bring them up to the greens condition. Overall quite a nice morning.

Nothing worse than hitting off a Mat for your tee shot.

Great improvements on the dining area, snack shop, and practice facilities. Simple course. Great place to have fun for a reasonable price.
