This course has really come around with the new ownership. The updated driving range was a much needed component to the well maintained golf course. If you want to challenge your game this is the place. Keep your eyes open for deer, birds, bobcat, mountain lion, snakes👀 and other wildlife.

Nice track, lots of doglegs, short course with beautiful views.

The canyon club price used to be this course’s big advantage. Having arrived to find my membership no longer bought me a free round on the weekends (they did not inform anyone before they arrived) and being forced to pay I realized that all of the wretched tee boxes (6 were roped off and I’m only on hole 16), incompetently laid sod, and trash on the course from tournaments they’d hosted and then forgotten about weren’t worth it. At least the food window that they often don’t staff in favor of their event hosting business (they don’t tell you this will happen when you book) was open. Fun while it lasted.

DeBell Golf Course in Burbank is one of my favorite spots to play. It’s tucked into the hills with beautiful views and a layout that makes you think about every shot. The course isn’t long but it’s tricky in the best way, and the greens roll smooth. It feels peaceful out there, and sometimes you even see deer wandering around. After a round, the Hilltop restaurant is a great place to relax. Always a fun time here.

2024.07-03/WED_0630: Yes, I'm off for the Independence Day holiday and we scored a 0630 tee time for the back nine which is one of the best courses in the city. Every time we've visited DeBell, it's always an excellent and relaxing time. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The clientele we encounter all around the course during play and when we are paired has always been pleasant. I've been to other courses all over Los Angeles and I'd have to say this one is my favorites. I'm not sure if it's because it was my first 18 hole course I played but I really believe it's the staff and the beautiful, well kept course. They also have a nice outdoor driving range and a nice putting green. The visit before today's visit, when we were paired up with a couple, Yoshi and Hiroko, they were the best. We also had a single player by the name of Alex who was awesome, too. At that time, I was merely a caddy for my husband. It was Hiroko who inspired me to play. If she only knew that I murmur her name, each time I take a stroke. She played really well and I wanted to be just like her. We actually ran into her today while we were leaving, and she was arriving! She remembered my husband, Mario and called out his name while crossing the street and I exclaimed, "Hiroko!" and waved at her! Yoshi must've been by the car because we didn't see him. I hope she noticed my golf bag on our cart because I was only a caddy the last time we visited. I wanted to talk to her but you can see that she was in a hurry to make their tee time, too probably! Ever since that last visit, we've been playing at DeBell, Yes, "we", because I play! Whether it's the entire 18 hole or when we have time for the front or the back nine -whenever we can squeeze it in. I'll be forever grateful for meeting Hiroko because now I'm addicted to golf. The fairways are gorgeous yet challenging. The course is in great shape. The fairways are free from debris and even the rough surrounding each hole looks nice. The greens are stellar. My favorite would have to be the back nine. I love the 12th and 13th holes. We always encounter beautiful wildlife at one of the holes each time we play 18. On Mother's Day, we actually ran into a doe and her mother on the 12th prancing around the green. It was the best. It is very peaceful, tranquil and relaxing playing at DeBell because you won't hear cars or anything else, just the wonderful sounds of the outdoors. We always do our part and fix our divots, too as well as other people's divots, if we see them. You won't find many holes and divots at DeBell, the course is well kept. We had an encounter today which NEVER happens at DeBell - a guy with an 0820 tee time for the front nine decided to start the back nine when we paid to play the back nine at 0630. He looked angry when we rolled up behind him. He confronted us asking if we're supposed to be there. We said, "Yes, our tee time is 0630 for the back nine, what's your tee time? Then he looked baffled and surprised. Then we asked again, what's your tee time?". That's when he said, 0820 on the front nine and I'm gonna play here until my tee time." We were like, okay. Well, why are you getting angry at us when we're scheduled to be here at 0630 and you're freeloading and jumping in front of us which means you can't take your time practicing? Whatever. So you're telling us that you decided that since you aren't paying for your game and we did, that we're bothering you? Get real. Other people would complain to the Starter but why waste our time and our game over this grumpy man? He's having a bad day. I hope they can catch more people who do that. It's just not fair. On top of that, he took his sweet time causing the next two rounds of people behind us to wait. He ruined the timing of everyone's game. Other than that, our experience today was just as awesome as any other visit to DeBell. Always a great and relaxing time, DeBell will always be our number one!
