Destroyer at Seal Beach Navy Golf Course

My favorite course by far and I have posted before about the course and staff. No matter what my game I always leave wondering how long before I can get back again..

So let's talk about the Marshall. Every been out with an over aggressive marshal who is telling you to pick up play when there is no one in front or behind you for 10 minutes plus. Yea what the heck. Ever have a group in front of you practicing with multiple balls, holding up four groups behind or hitting up on you and laughing in a drunken state? Wonder where the Marshall? Yip me too.

So at the 1st Tee there were two open time slots because of no shows before the foursome in from of me took off. About 20 minutes behind the group ahead. We take off 10 minutes later as a twosome then another twosome takes off behind us. Things are going smooth when the Marshall comes out to the 9th hole and is super friendly. He asks if the group in front of us is moving at an OK pace? Yes they were. He comments how he noticed a large gap between them and the group ahead of them. I told him that there was a 20 minute break in front of them. He thanked me and just wanted to make sure we were not being held up. Then he says hey there are lots of groups coming up behind you, would you mind if the twosome behind you join up with you for the back nine? We tell him sure and we had them catch up with us at the 10th. He thanked us and off he goes. We finished our round with four of us and the couple husband and wife who joined us were awesome. We never caught up with the group in front of us again and never seen anyone behind us. How about that a Marshall that does his job, asks and does not demand and has the best interest of all the players in mind including opening up the course for groups behind who are starting to bunch up. Try to find that at other golf courses.

Three Cheers for you Marshall! I can wait to return..

Had a Saturday Twilight tee time that finished in Exactly 4 hours (it is possible!) through a Hot Deal. The course is always well-maintained despite the punched greens this time around(which weren't too bad) and consistently has a good assortment of food options and friendly staff.

There is much to appreciate with this course, and just a small amount of minor issues that dragged on my play. The course was in very good shape other than the recent aeration on the greens. The fairways could have been manicured a little better as the tracks ran slow. But overall it was a very good experience.

I have one remark.

They didn’t tell me that the greens and fairways were pinched and in a very bad condition to play. If I knew that I was not going to play.

On another note, the course is great.

Best,

B.K.

Pace of play was good, except on the Par 3 holes. When did waving up the next group on Par 3' holes stop. This helps keep the play moving.

The course is nice shape and fun, however, green is not easy.

The course is in great shape pace of play was excellent.

Course is what might expect for the money, nothing really bad nor really exciting. Decent distances and a bit unusual with front par 37 and back 35. Nice to have gps on carts. Greens large and undulating, two putt not a certainty. Some reason all the par 3s really slowed down play, usually three groups on each. Have had lots of rain and many soft areas. Overalll hats off to the maintenance staff, course was in good shape and there are just some places they can’t get a mower.
