Had a fantastic experience at Van Nuys Golf Course! Huge shoutout to John and Jenna -- the new owners of the clubhouse (aka cafe) are doing an incredible job. The food was absolutely amazing, fresh, and flavorful.....I'm still in shock! The food is so much better. It's great to see the positive changes already taking place. If you haven't been lately, it's definitely worth a visit. Keep up the great work, John and Jenna! read more

This is a solid easy par 3. No surprises, pretty straightforward course. They take walk ins so if you are trying to get a spontaneous 9/18 hole you can easily do it here. This place does not take itself too seriously, so casual golfers such as myself will feel comfortable here. read more

Van Nuys Golf Course - Golf Near Me - Van Nuys, California

What a difference a year makes! This course has my vote for most improved. The grass has completely grown back and is manicured well. Love the new tee boxes and looking forward to the driving range re-opening. The 9-hole executive course is still a great bargain. Oh, and starter Ryan absolutely deserves a raise! See you Tuesday.

Rating is only for the course, guy at the shop was 5/5. Played the executive course and it was an absolute dump. Greens were in decent condition but that's it. Fairways and tee boxes were nonexistent. You're teeing off on disgusting mats and any good shot into the "fairway" will bounce off into any direction. My ball came out the cleaner even dirtier?? An 8some was in front of us. 20 bucks to play on weekends, I'd rather have you pay me to play this course. read more

Golf range has been closed for months. Ironically, this seems to have increased the traffic on the golf course.

Great for the price of 18 holes par-3 Also a executive back 9 for a driver use . Fairways looking nice after this rain .also under new management . Coming soon New Range and Simulators for those Hot Summers indoor . read more

They made a lot of changes! Have played a bunch of early morning 18 hole rounds and plan to try the night time round if times are accurate.

Don't believe the photos. My girlfriend and I were looking for a new place to play, and chose Van Nuys. I booked a tee time, and we headed there, looking forward to a nice Sunday morning on a new course. When we got there the first thing we noticed is the course was in horrible shape. Brown grass everywhere, greens not well tended. It looked like no matter where your ball landed you could be in trouble, including the fairways. Our biggest surprise was when we rounded the corner onto the side street bordering the course, and saw a literal homeless encampment. Not just a few guys lounging and a tent or two, but a freaking Taj Mahal of vagrancy. This place was well-established, and obviously not new. So we drew some very quick and easy conclusions: 1. The city of Van Nuys is not allowing its law enforcement officers to combat the homeless problem by enforcing vagrancy, littering, and other public nuisance statutes. 2. The homeless metropolis was sure to come with a near-lethal downwind swath of foulness that we would be sure to experience several times up close were we to play there. 3. The Van Nuys golf course is not proactively taking any steps to minimize the impact this encampment is having on their business, and therefore is not taking the health and welfare of its customers seriously. 4. Based on their fees, the Van Nuys golf course is out of touch with what other par 3 golf courses are charging for 18 holes. We will go back and play our favorite course, which is 1000% better maintained, and charges lower greens fees. Thankfully, after some back-and-forth with the 3rd party booking agency, we were able to get refunded for our tee time. Save yourself the hassle and the health and safety risk, and go somewhere else. read more

Playing with balls and the boys in a Friday morning... #NoDiddy great service even though the guy I went with broke the friggin driver that the golf course allowed us to use but ended up getting destroyed. Not in a good way either :( read more

Van Nuys Golf Course - Soundtrack to my soul - Golf Near Me - Van Nuys, California

It's okay and not one of the well-kept municipal golf courses. We're here because everyone else was booked at this time. It's a great practice course since the fairways aren't in the best condition. You'll have trees that have fallen and have been left on the side of the fairway (hole 4 of the 18 hole, par 3 course). This is probably my third time here within a span of four months. All the different blue, white and red tee markers will either be there or not for each hole. They may at least have one or none at all. You'll also find trash littered and scattered around the fairways. Even practice balls that have been run over by the lawnmower. That was no surprise. The fencing around the course isn't in the best shape so when you get to hole four of the par 3 course, you may encounter the homeless. If you're not bothered by airplanes, you'll be okay. It's right next to the Van Nuys airport so you'll see planes flying out while you're taking a stroke. If they would make the hole markers or replace the existing hole markers if you see them, that would be great. This is my third time here and also the third time watching or assisting other golfers who have gotten lost within the course because there are no clear signs or indications of where the next hole is located. The first time here, we went from the fourth hole to the fifteen hole without even knowing so today, once we got to the tenth hole, somehow a group of three golfers and a single woman golfer ended up in front of us. It's very confusing. We weren't sure if these folks finished the Executive 18 hole and decided to get a free game in and jumped onto the back nine of the par 3 course. If they would just make things clearer, that would be great. We knew who was before us (no one because we had the first tee time) and after us so for these two individual groups and this person to just jump in was rude. We've never heard of purchasing only the front or back nine so I'm sure these people were sneaking in games while we respectfully pay for our games. That's not fair. From reviews and photos of this course from a few years ago, I can see it has the ability to be a nice well-kept course. It was in fair and decent condition four months ago. It seems to have gotten worse. The staff here is the golden coin here and the greens. The greens were nice. That's another thing, at every course, they should have signs that tell golfers to help the course out by fixing their divots. I can't tell you how many divots my husband and I fix because other golfers don't respect the greens. It literally takes less than five seconds to fix a divot. All in all, this municipal course is okay and has gone downhill in the last four months. The staff is what makes this course nice to visit and makes me want to come back every time. I hope they do better with the maintenance with the summer months ahead. read more

Ooooooof. Never again. I twisted my ankle on the 7th "fairway." They LITERALLY don't water anything except the greens...which are mushy. 0 Stars read more

Been coming here for many years 30 plus. Its always been friendly and a course to get 9 holes on the executive side using most of your clubs and a hot dog. A decent driving range. But I had noticed the course became very dry and not kept. Although the greens were pretty good. When asked they mentioned the course was sold. Maybe it will not turn into condos or apartments because it is on the flight path to van nuys airport just across the street. Used to be Bilingsley golf with a nice restaurant! Its pretty sad when you see l.a. landmarks closing. Hope this is not the case. Go catch a round before you can't. read more

Great place to play if you want to get out with your kids. No pressure. Friendly staff. Good course to practice your short iron play. Course is a bit roughed up, still a good deal. read more

Let me be straightforward and get something out of the way, if you're here for the most beautiful fairways this world has to offer, this 9-hole course isn't it. So why a 5-star rating? It has everything I could ask for in a golf course for any level player. For the low price that you're paying, you're getting a course that has distances where you can easily use your hybrid or driver; not many 9-hole courses in the area offer courses where three of the holes are ranging from 277-305 yards. Now let's talk about when you make it to the green. I've been here enough times where I can expect that the green is nicely cut and satisfying to putt from any distance. It was maybe once where I saw a bunch of scruffs and whatnots, but again, that's not the expectation I have based on my experiences here. Overall regardless of your level, I'd totally recommend this 9-hole course for players of all levels. read more

I started playing golf about 3 years ago..I worked a lot, so I was only able to buy a starter set to at least get my feet wet in the game. I played here once or twice back then because my buddy Bailey took me to the driving range to teach me how to swing my driver,and then we eventually moved on to the irons .Fast forward to the last couple of months.I've been playing the par 3 at Van Nuys Golf course..They are under new management and really trying to upgrade this facility.The guy at the front desk is top shelf !!! His name is Ryan, and after the first time I came here, he remembered my name AND the guy I played with!!! Every time I walk in to pay for my round, he says "Hi Nino, what are you playing today?" He's very personable, professional, and just makes everyone feel comfortable to be there.The new owners are doing a great job trying to revamp the golf course..It is a work in progress, but now I come at least once a week to play..I'm slowly getting better and gaining confidence with my game People like Ryan make it an easy choice where I want to play..Van Nuys Golf course.. Simple..., read more

We've started coming here about once a week... we're in love! My wife & I are pretty bad golfers, but we're really getting into it this summer. Lots of shanks, slices, & miss-hits. This feels like the perfect spot to work on your game, get better, & crush some Mickey Ultras while spending time in the sun. We play the par 3 course (18). $19 per player during the week Course is straight forward & unique. Some random hazards here & there. Some fast fairways due to the heat & sun beating down on the grass. You're OK to play during the day in the summer. A lot of tree coverage from hole to hole so you won't overheat. Beers are reasonably priced. Glizzies are delicious (lunch area is closed on Wednesdays) Staff is super cool, especially the guy who runs the clubhouse. Very down to earth & laid back - not treating the place like a country club. . . knows exactly what the place is & why people come. This is the perfect city course to work on your game & have a great time! Pick up a glizzy & enjoy this fun 18 hole par 3! read more

Van Nuys Golf Course - My wife hit a 45-foot putt! - Golf Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Omg the customer service was excellent!! Very friendly and felt very welcomed! And every golfers there were very helpful and kind. I couldn't find the first tee box and the second tee box, many people helped me guide to the right way! It was noisy because of the airplanes fly on top of my head, and it was windy. My first time playing night golf was fun! I didn't hit the ball straight on the 9th hole and I couldn't find that ball. I need to buy the balls lights up for next visit. read more

Half of the driving range is shaded. Planes fly over head but I find it relaxing. Sure the engines can be loud but for me it's background noise and not an issue. $8 for a small bucket $10 for a medium bucket $12 for a large bucket No cash! CC or Debit only. Not the prettiest place to play but good spot nonetheless. Kids, Women, Seniors, Men -- great mix of people. Very casual and lowkey! I'm coming back :) read more

Do you have a lot of time? Not very good at golf? Then come here and wait 15 min per hole. I have finished par 72 courses in less time.

Being a movie geek, I had to take my teenage boys to see where they filmed Licorice Pizza (2021) and see why Paul Thomas Anderson loves this place so much! I totally get it! It reminds me of a place called Rolandia in Dayton, Ohio near where I grew up in the 80's - very chill, relaxed, old school, and only $12 for a large bucket of balls? It will be a regular hangout for us whenever we explore the valley. Food prices seem cheap, this foot golf thing looks interesting, and l loved everything about this place. read more

18 hole par 3 and a 9 hole executive course. Crowded on weekends. Otherwise great course to play at.

Best ball is the hidden gem of this establishment. The manager Don as well as staff is next level when it comes to customer service. You would think they worked and another bar before! read more

Hands down one of the worst golf courses you'll ever find. Yes this is a great practice course except there is no logic to how things are set up. The course is horribly maintained and has trash all over it. The layout of the course is insane because you will accidentally walk up to the wrong tee box multiple times. I will never return to this course. SoCal has better executive level courses to practice on. read more

A fun place for Foot Golf. If you haven't played yet, give it a try!

Old school driving range, a little rickety, but a fun place to hit balls late at night and a decent place to chill out and grab a beer and chill on a bench with friends. Since Harvard/Westlake took our local range and are turning it into a parking lot (Shame on you guys!!) there aren't nearly enough places to hit balls. And where can you play golf at night under lights at 10:00pm?! Btw, the putting green here is pretty atrocious and the mats need replacing. The balls are old, but seriously, how many places can you hit balls through a field goal posts?! read more

I am shocked by the number of 5 and 4 star reviews of this place. Van Nuys residents must have really, really low expectations when it comes to golf courses. Where to begin? First, they have tee times on their website but that doesn't mean anything. The guy at the pro shop said to just come in whenever. So what is the point of having an online tee time booking feature on the website when it's just first come, first serve? Just say that on your website and stop wasting people's time by advertising fake tee times! Next, the course is ugly and littered with trash. The course might as well have been plopped on top of Victory Blvd, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between the two. Empty beer cans and potato chips wrappers are there to greet you at every hole. Good luck finding actual grass to tee off on; you're stuck with whatever patch of dirt is available. Enjoy teeing off on matts that have been there since 1985? This is the place for you! Perhaps worst of all is that this course lies directly under the airport flight path, so you get to have low riding, loud as hell planes fly right over you on a constant rotation. You also get to hear the endless traffic on Victory the entire time. If part of the joy of golf for you is walking in nature and enjoying the serenity that it can bring, you won't find that here. There are SO many better options just in the valley, let alone all of LA, for that. Yes, it's cheap, but there are far better options just a short drive away from this place for the same price if not a few dollars more. Until this place decides to take itself seriously, you have so, so, so, so many better options to go to in this city. Obviously, I am never coming back. read more

Van Nuys Golf Course is your one stop for all your Golf needs. This facility recently made significant renovations. They added a new snack bar , lounge, chipping practice area and shaded driving range. I love these courses because both are night lit. You have your choice between an18 hole par-3 or 9- hole executive course. The courses have wide open fairways making it fun for all skill levels. They also have plenty of beer options at the check/in . The greens and bunkers are well maintained but the course does have ruff patchy areas. As of my last visit October-2020 , they were only taking debit/credit as a safety precaution. No cash.The driving range is right off the cashier and all slots have rubber tees for driving. The parking lot is huge with plenty of spaces. This facility has a pro shop, but I yet to check out the inside. read more

Friendly staff! Courses are well maintained and so fun! I love how there is a 18 hole par 3, a 9 hole executive course, and a driving range.

Dry par three course but the greens are decent for practice. Range works off mats... not bad at all. Chipping and putting greens available. Good place to practice but "fairways" are dirt. Fun just to get a pick up game or chipping practice. read more

Good golf course, love running this golf course every other week, definitely recommend, staff is nice as well.

Love this place if you want to golf why not its walk on course and the range is pretty cool in my opinion with targets and what not

During Covid-19 times, they removed the benches at the driving range, there are no rentals provided, customers aren't allowed to enter the store. I usually get a large bucket of balls and hit a few balls. Depending on what time of day and day of the week it is it may be busy. read more

Cool spot for sure. Very relaxed overall. Although the guys at the front office could maybe be a little. More welcoming , I'm sure they deal with a lot of knuckleheads from time to time. Great spot though read more

Van Nuys Golf Course - Golf Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Honestly, this is the best kept secret in the valley in my opinion. I have only been golfing for a little less than a year, and have only played a couple courses around la, but this is by far my favorite. Sure there's some trash on the course and sure you may be teeing off near graffiti or a homeless encampment, but I have yet to find somewhere as welcoming as here. The employees are super cool and friendly , and the clientele of this place are friendly and easy going. There is no stuck up attitude whatsoever here, so if you're a new golfer don't even worry, everyone will welcome you . The driving range in my opinion is better than Woodley, or balboas since there's tons of targets in the same range as the holes are on the par 3 course, and you can even drink at the range while golfing which is a plus for many. The executive 9 course is cool too with bunkers and some par 4 and 5s as well so you can work on short and long game . No tee times are needed and you can just show up and walk on which is yet another perk. Shout outs to Dominic for being such a charismatic and nice guy in the pro shop. This place has become a home away from home for myself and many others and it's due to the overall laid back environment the employees have created . Thanks guys! read more

Played the 9 hole Executive course that has 3 par 4 holes. The fairways were horrible and the putting green looked like the surface of the moon. Bottom line. The place needs some work. I can't speak for the 18 hole par 3 course but i'm afraid to go back and play and have the same experience. read more

New to golf and have been coming here to get practice in. The guys in the pro shop are always helpful and professional. Never had an issue with range. It does get hot during the summer. The executive range is great and pace of play is good. The 18 hole is good but can get backed up. Great course for a beginner like myself. Never had an issue with other players, everyone seems helpful and happy to be there. read more
