Destroyer at Seal Beach Navy Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
The Navy Golf Course Seal Beach is a 27-hole facility that includes the championship Destroyer Course and the nine-hole executive Cruiser Course. The 6,780-yard Destroyer Course presents a challenge even for low handicappers with a slew of hazards coming into play throughout. The small greens have challenging slopes ranging from subtle breaks to dramatic drop-offs. To make them even tougher, you'll find strategically placed bunkers lurking along the edges. The tricky doglegs, which are mostly par 4s, will force you to think carefully about your club selection, and to top it all off, water makes an appearance on almost every hole. It's a long golf course that feels even longer due to the rolling terrain, but it is more forgiving than it seems with long, wide fairways that won't penalize you for being slightly errant.

The 9th Hole with pond and Destroyer model Photo submitted by AirFed on 06/15/2013
POP was 5+ on a Thursday afternoon
Started off ok just after 1. It was windy. Almost 2 clubs into it for most of the day. Only slightly calmed down later in the afternoon.
It was moving and then it came to a crawl around the 9th hole. Waited on every hole after that. Barely finished at 5+ hours.
Course was just meh. Greens were kinda slow. Started to firm up on a few holes but inconsistent. I guess they gave up maintaining a couple of the lakes as one is a total dry waste area now and the other couple barely had any water in them.
For the extra price over the County type courses it should be in better shape.
Tee boxes all need levelling. They are all lumpy and patchy. Not a flat one on the whole course. It’s supposed to be better than Muni but it’s barely a level above it.
I guess it’s the Navy but they don’t care what happens to stuff on land / ground LOL
Excellent staff,
Great course,
Good pace of play.
Great overall condition
Greens in best condition and rolling true…Perfect spring weather.
Great time playing this coarse
Coarse is in good shape. The wait was minimal and the staff was very helpful.
Challenging fun course
The course is challenging but the greens had been punched a few weeks earlier. Always fun to be able to watch navy helicopters and planes taking off. The course has many doglegs and long par 3’s. Pace of play was just over 4 hours.
Cancelled
Yesterday we got there on time but were told that the t time was cancelled, the staff was very nice and friendly but we couldn’t find GolfNow contact information to make a call to clear the issue, really don’t understand why GolfNow hides the contact information, what they are afraid of?! Until today I can’t find the contact information, Nobody contacted me,it’s really waste of time and money!
Course is wide open
Punched greens but almost done still great day for Golf!
