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.

Awful conditions

Very easy short par 3 course but it is in the worst condition ever. The only good part are most of the greens are alright. Otherwise it's trash

All clear on a Monday

Love playing when there’s literally no one in front of or behind me. Greens are in good condition, some tee pads need replacing but for the price I’ll be back all the time.

No more weekends for me from 10am-12pm!

I like this golf course, but during the "deal" time on the weekends It's just not good to come. People drink, share bags and at 1 hole, I had a group in front of me that used 10-15 minutes!! Very rude and they did not know the rules and did not care!

I will be back on week days.....

Not Bad but loud and poorly kept

A fun little course but loud due to planes taking off from the airport across the street. Looks like it hasn’t been maintained in a while, a lot of things busted due to vandalism.

Old city course

I know we are conserving water, but at least put new Tee pads out on all the holes for the Executive course.

Great Staff needed Practice for short game

Great place to touch up your short game with 18 holes to practice on. Finally hit a super birdie from 30 yards out with 60 wedge drained it on 4 bounces straight to hit the flag and dunked in, worth of ESPN top 10. Only thing was on back 9, we were the only ones out there, must be the heat wave. Wow it was hot but couldn't stop my from finishing. Best staff and comfortable play. 5 stars for service.

Solid Par-3

Has been my go-to for a quick 54 for a while. They work to keep the greens healthy and in good condition. Current drought has left some parts of the fairway dry, but not a major issue. Overall, a good course.

Nice par 3 course with very good greens!

Great value and very walkable!

This 18 hole 3 par course (holes from 90 to about 135 yards).

It has very good greens and great for practice and for working on your short game.

I miss the markings at each hole with the yardage etc.. They should really get this done!

I think they otherwise doing a good job with the upkeep.

I will be back soon ;-)

Fine for a quick cheap round

It’s a golf course and it’s fine. It’s loud, airplanes fly over all the time. Kind of busy, and the course isn’t greatly well kept or that hard. But it’s a fine cheap place to hit the range or golf 9 & 18

I love this 3 par 18 hole course!

As usual, we had a great time and the pace was good today!

The greens are in good conditions and the staff is very nice! They need to update the numbers for each T and the yardage sign because I see people getting confused!
