Great Value in LA County

Great location for an early bird back 9. Weekend 18 is always busy but that's normal fellas. The pace was still pretty darn good. The course is understaffed right now so be patient. Course quality is pretty darn good other than a few knocked down trees but mother nature is gonna mother nature. Nothing that effects the play on the fairways. The greens were actually pretty darn good and the second cuts are getting better each time I've visited. Downsides? Very few yet there are a few. One of them is nothing bad on the course itself but more the people playing the course. FILL YOUR DIVITS. Why is this always such a hard thing to ask folks to fill them in? Real issues is the cart paths and some fairways are under construction so some holes are kinda eye sores but nothing too unbearable for the cost. Carts are decent nothing fancy so bring your view finders. The drink carts are nice but tough to find them sometimes. Other than that the course has some beautiful views and they truly have a wonderful testing 18 holes. Nothing terribly hard but still test you enough to push your game torwards being a better player. Favorite hole right now? I would have to say. It's 12 par 3. Fun blind. Over all great time and great place to catch some holes with your buddy's.

Great Course and in Great Condition

Great Course with very Nice Greens. Price very reasonable and pace of play smooth. Ask for Senior Rate under $40 with cart during week. Must say carts a little old but well worth the price. They do have some landscaping going on currently.

Love the course, but there is some constructions going on!

I have been playing here about 5 times, and love the scenery and the course layout.
There is construction going on and around hole number 2 and 3, but you will get around to it.
Today it was really slow and I used about 5 hours for the round.
I will come back at some time though ;-)

Slowest course in LA

Everytime my buddies and I are here, we get held up by incredibly slow golfers. Yesterday it was two guys each playing five balls. We were watching them, as we waited, driving their cart from ball to ball… It’s not worth golfing here anymore. The course doesn’t do anything to enforce pace of play and it’s brutal. Which sucks because it’s a beautiful course.

Different layout; greens have movement

Course has lots of elevation changes and doglegs. Greens are tough putts with slopes and undulations. Carts are beat to crap and could use upgrades.
Second hole still has construction happening which shortens hole and turns it into a par 3. Third hole has a massive fallen tree in the middle blocking everything just before the little ravine in front of the green.
Had a good time. Everyone friendly. Course conditions good.

Fun and moderately challenging

Tucked away in the foothills of Burbank, Debell was a pleasure to play. The views were excellent, course and clubhouse premium and well maintained, and other players very accommodating to two green players on the course for the first time.

The layout of the course is unique. Many of the holes are wrapping around a hill or mountainside or have elevation drops or gains. The fairways are medium width and lined by moderate to heavy vegetation most the time, so losing a ball or two is going to happen. The combination of these characteristics makes this a moderately challenging/technical course.

Will play again and recommend to friends.

Nice views!

Nice little course. Very short from the back tees even. 2nd and 3rd holes are under construction and both play like par 3s (wasn’t told that at booking or even check in).
