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.

Great local course and staff!

It looks like they are working on cleaning up the course again after the storms and the falling trees etc. I really like coming here to play. They have both par 3's and par 4's on the executive course. The greens are in pretty good shape, but wish everyone were fixing their divots! I'm missing signages for showing the holes. Beginners seams to be confused on the 18 hole par 3 course. Looking forward to come here again very soon :-)

Solid and always times to play

It’s a decent par 3…easy to walk …it’s old but get the job done and super cheap so go and head and hit those irons…

Honestly you only need putter wedges 9876 to play the whole thing. This is coming from average golfer just saying.

I love coming to this course for my short game, but...!

I have been going to this local course for years and I happen do like it allot!

It's been pretty bad weather lately, but they seams to lack of upkeep nowadays? It has been trees and branches and not cut fairways lately, so I'm not sure what's going on?

The greens are in pretty good condition, but they need some "clean up's" around the course.

I have seen several people going to the wrong holes also, so new signes is really needed for direction, yardage etc.

Hopefully that will be taken care of soon because I will be back soon :-)

You get what you paid for

Very slow pace. You are supposed to tee off from mats in every hole. Good for beginners. Not very well kept

My go to golf course for my iron play!

It's always nice to come here to practice on your iron play and the putting. The greens is in pretty good shape too. My girlfriend and I used about 2 hours to finish this 3par 18 hole round.

Will be back soon :-)

Just an ok course

Pace of play was awful, almost 10-15 min at every hole. Push carts sold out. Drink selection and staff are awesome though!

Love this spot. Both 18 par 3 and the executive 9 are awesome , greens are in great shape and the fairways are decent. Figs rarely busy so pace of play is quick quick. All in all great spot.

Great Course!

First time golfing here was a lot of fun. I played the executive 9-hole course and definitely recommend it! But they also have more options with an 18 hole Par 3 course and a driving range. The executive course is a good mix with 6 Par 3 holes and 3 Par 4s where you’ll break out the driver unless you’re on the tour. The greens are awesome! They’re fast and fun with some elevation change. The fairways are a little more rough. Definitely manageable but you can tell a lot of work goes into greens which for the price, location, and actual fun of the game I like that. Great course and I will definitely be playing here again soon.

Nice 3-par course with a lot of 130+ yard holes. Nice challenging greens. Signage pointing to the next hole would be helpful.

Worst Course Conditions Ever!

We played the 9 hole executive course. The course is in terrible shape and we had long waits after every hole. It was, however, only $11.
