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.

Good practice course

Nice little 9 hole course to practice on greens are great but a few rough spots on the fairways, the par 4s are good to test your driver and 3 wood if your accurate with them overall recommend

Meh

Course was extremely backlogged and tee times don't really exist, even if you book one. It's first come first served, which wasn't great.

Great little course for practicing your short game

Great little course for practicing your short game. Greens are well-kept and challenging. Fairways are somewhat rugged but this just helps you polish for chipping on a larger course. Staff are friendly, efficient and helpful.

I had a group of 9 people in front of me and they don’t let you pass!

I like the course, but they should not allow 9 people in a group. They should at least make you pass!

Great local course for your practice on your par 3 game!

We had a good time playing here again as always! The greens are pretty nice on this course, which is nice! There is always groups that takes way too long! They should know or the staff should let them know that they could pass through players if they are on their back for several holes! Also, some people just need to learn behaviors on the course. Throwing beer cans and garbage on the field…come on!! I also see that people just not repairing the greens if they hit it, that should be of everyone’s interest!

I will be back in full force though!

Reasonably priced for beginner golfers.

This course remains in good condition over the years. It’s a nice little course for beginners. Green fees are super affordable when you book through GolfNow. I don’t mind playing here when I go out with my son and nephew who are relative beginners.
