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.

Van Nuys golf

Corse was wide open so no pressure from behind & no waiting at any tees. Fairways not great but fringe areas were in great shape and greens were in very good condition. Tee matts are all in need of replacement & there is no good grass area to tee off from. Great course to work on your short game.or for beginners to learn the game. Personnel were are very friendly. Recommend using a discounted reservation site will save you a lot of money. Also has a driving range and a nice chip & bunker practice area.

Never again

I don’t know how this place gets 4 or more starts on Yelp. Terrible course. I won’t be coming back. Unless you enjoy the graffiti on the surrounding buildings.

It is what it is

As long as you don’t show up there expecting Augusta, it’s a fine place to go and work on your short game. A full 18 holes, all ranging between about 90 yards to 135 yards, but the greens are relatively small, so it gives you some challenging targets to hit for as well as a few overhanging trees, which Lets you work on shot shaping. Just keep an eye out for range balls and private jets flying over your head.

Nice 18 hole 3 par

The course is in good condition as well as the main practice putting green, chipping section and driving range. Only thing i found is that a few of the signs are damaged and it's fairly easy to tee off on the wrong hole in a few places. But it's a fun little course and a good walk. Fun 2 hours.
