DeBell Golf Club

De Bell is a beautiful course. It is definitely a challenging course with greens that are challenging to read correctly. It's definitely not a course for beginners, as I found out. However, the course is beautiful and the grounds are well maintained. It's definitely a challenge for any skill level.

Love the fact that you have to place your shots and think about your next shot. Overall course conditions were very good. Greens were in excellent condition.

If you don't want to drive to another county for a reasonably priced exciting course, DeBell is definitely the course for you. They are repairing some damage from the heavy rains, but the fairways are great and the layout is so much fun!

So many public courses across LA feature boring layouts across flat terrain with little excitement. Although LA's courses are conveniently located, I drove hours outside LA every weekend in search of better golf experiences.

I initially underestimated DeBell's short par 71 tucked away in the foothills of Burbank. I hadn't been recommended the course, never really heard much about it, and found it through Google Maps searches for golf courses. That said, I'd like to try every course once and promptly booked a Tuesday morning 6:40 AM tee time.

Leading up to my round misty weather forecast likely lead to a lot of golfers canceling their tee times - so I moved mine up to 6 AM. When I arrived two groups teed off before me and I was alone on the tee box for 10 minutes until 5:55. I hit my first shot into the fog, waited a few minutes to see if any partners would arrive, and began walking the course at 6.

For 18 holes wet and soggy holes, I worked my way up, down, and around the hills that DeBell is built into and I was absolutely delighted to be there. This is easily the most unique and serene golf course I have experienced in Los Angeles County, especially during a weekday dawn round. The scenery and natural environment of this course are top of their class.

Although it is short, it is a technical course that forces golfers to think and play smart. Some narrow fairways and dramatic doglegs add variety while cleverly weaving the course in and out of the foothills. Hole Twelves' signature blind tee shot does not disappoint and is the perfect example of how this course elevates its layout despite its small footprint.

DeBell was clearly designed into the landscape, rather than being built across flattened lots allotted for city parks projects. It was a great round and I highly recommend this course to anyone that is seeking a fun, well-kept course within LA County.

Great course definitely a challenge but helps you work on all aspects of the game

DeBell is a true jewel in Burbank! A beautiful course nestled in the hills of Burbank! When you go, please take plenty of balls because you’ll need to if you are someone who has left or right leakage LOL! The ambience and aesthetics are super pleasing And the pace of play was excellent. Go play DeBell!

There was several areas being repaired right now but I’m looking forward to playing when the course is completed

I have a love/hate relationship with DeBell. Just kidding it’s tight , it’s trick & remarkably beautiful.
Well worth it. Bring plenty o’balls

Very nice club house good driving range. The only reason to give it 3 stars was that the bunkers are under construction and you had to pull your ball and drop, so… kind of a win in the end. Super nice course and very challenging. Great location.

First time playing here. A challenging course that will test every club in your bag. I can definitely see why it's been so hard to get a tee time. Definitely coming back.
