Super Slow Pace

Unfortunately I would not recommend Debell
Pace of play was super slow. At one point there was 3-4 groups backed up . Two guys behind us quit. Hard to play and have a good time when you’re waiting over10 minutes to play next hole. When the course books every ten minutes and nobody was there to move things along.
This was my decline time playing and is my last.

Construction on hole 2, 3, 4, 5 caused problems.

Course on first few holes except hole 1 were in construction. They should have informed us beforehand. Not very happy!

Fun and Challenging

The conditions were the best I’ve played at this course, having played 5 or 6 times before. There is a little renovation happening on the second hole that looks to be nearly complete, but overall in great shape. Even trough rainy season (in California lol) the bunkers were still in great shape and the greens were pristine. When the minor fixes on 2 are done it’s going to be my favorite course in town.

First Time Playing

Nice course.

I enjoyed the round. The course was in good condition. First time playing here. I teed off at 1:40 and started on time. I was able to finish 18 in about 4hrs and 15 min. Certain holes are narrow and challenging, especially with surrounding trees in play. My only complaint is that the electric carts look a bit old, but they did the job. I would play here again.

DeBell is a gem

Enjoyable course with great views. The course was undergoing some maintenance but still challenging.
Always a great course to play

Good but...

Had a good round there. I really wish they would have let us know that a few holes were being worked on. Hole 2 and 3 were shortened due to some repairs or construction. The rest of the round was fine. I have played here years ago. It's a fun course.

Under construction.

Several holes are under repair. Played 50-100 yards forwards on some tees. You gotta discount the round if that’s the condition of the course. I payed full price on a weekday!
