Such a great starting out course. I felt so comfortable right away. Manager Rafael is super helpful and pops up everywhere. You g employees who are eager to work and put in the effort to make your experience that much better. Yes turf/grass is underway but overall a comfortable place to play. Great environment overall. read more

DO NOT PLAY HERE. This is literally my first review of anything and I have to let others know. This is by far the worst golf course I have EVER played at. $45 to play here on a weekend and $37 to play during the week? I wouldn't even consider playing here for $10. Tee boxes are iffy, greens are okay, but there is literally ZERO grass in any fairway 1-18. They need to shut this place down to renovate because I cannot see how anyone would want to return here after they play here. Just posting in hopes that someone might read this and that I might sway at least one person not to play here. AVOID THIS HORRIBLE EXCUSE OF A COURSE. read more

Is this place a joke....nice set up but no fairway. Pls close this place and just have a driving range just like the one we have before they close down the Dominguez par 3 turn to a Porche development. I miss that place. read more

Definitely a hidden Gem !! Had a great experience and Roland was very helpful and knowledgeable of the course. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Haha this course is a joke. The fairway is just dirt. 95% dirt and 5% patches of grass. It was my first and last time I ever play here. Im not sure how they can get away with calling this a golf course. Save your time and money and find another golf course to play. read more

If I could give less I would. There is literally no grass in the fairways. Weeds and small mangy patches here and there. Safe yourself the gas, set $40 on fire, stub your toe then have your wife kick you in the jungle dungeon and you might get the same feeling. Greens were shit too. Yeah they were green but that's like telling a cop you were speeding because the world is round. Someone should call the police and let them know this course robs people. read more

Terribly maintained course. First of all, you need grass to be considered a golf course. This course seems to be run by gophers! The gopher holes and trenches make it impossible to drive your cart around the fairway with out shaking your entire cart apart. First and last time I play this course till they take some serious measures to getting the fairways repaired. read more

It was such a waste of time playing here. It wasn't even cheap, no grasses Looks like abandoned course. They should not run the business like this read more

Only if can leave a half star I would because this golf course is run by a terrible management also the field on this golf course is horrible... This place needs a lot of fixing and a new owner. They charged almost $50 to play in a uneven field and all dirt course. read more

I guess the course management doesn't care. Please close this place down. I understand COVID restrictions and all but this is no longer a golf course. If the managers are being paid they shouldn't be. At a minimum it used to be a very good practice locations. Now, not even that. Sad. Have some kind of pride or accountability if you are responsible for this place. Fairway - flat dirt Mats - torn and worn to hell Putting/Chipping - Stupid COVID restriction should be questioned by someone. Who stands closer than 6' to someone putting and chipping. read more

Deserves one star due to it not being crowded on a Sunday. It wasn't crowded because this was the worst maintained golf course I have ever seen in my life, and i don't think I'll ever see one this bad again. Starting right from hole number 1, there is literally more dirt and the fairway then grass. And I am not exaggerating and it was like this for the majority of the holes. On most shots, my ball landed in rock solid dirt and had to move it to a patch of grass just to take a shot. Terrible. Do yourself a favor and never come to this course. * Also on top of the course being god awful, we went into the concession stand in the middle of our game and the guy behind the counter was in pajamas and no mask.... what kind of place let's their employees wear red plaid pajamas while working WITH NO MASK. Unacceptable. * I wouldn't come back to this course even if I was offered a free round. read more

I recently visited the Links at Victoria Golf Range with the intention of purchasing a bucket of balls for some practice. However, upon arrival, I was informed that the range was closed. Disappointed, I opted to putt instead. To my surprise, I witnessed another person effortlessly walking in and out with a bucket of balls shortly after. This inconsistency left me feeling discriminated against and frustrated with the overall experience. It's essential for businesses to ensure fair treatment of all customers to maintain a positive reputation. I definitely felt like it was something against me and or my son who is biracial. read more

I would rate this 0 stars if I could. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. The only redeeming factors: a nice range and the greens were great. I would be lying if I called the fairways a fairway. It is quite literally dirt, mud, and compacted dirt so dry it has started cracking like something you'd see on BBC Blue Planet. Their bunkers look nice but they are cutting corners by filling them with dirt and ROCKS instead of sand. They keep hole 15 KIND OF filled with grass, it is next to the highway so it seems like a way to lull people into trying the course when the rest is an utter travesty. I know cause it happened to me. The truly saddening thing is there is so much potential yet it is thrown away by not keeping the "fairways" covered with grass. Their neglect for this makes it a shame. read more

Holy cow this place is awful. Mud dirt and holes everywhere. Greens ok, not as good they used to be, in nothing here is. Ugh.

Loved this course. I'll be back. Lots of ball cleaners. One in each hole full to capacity. The putting greens in excellent condition. The fairways need work but it makes up for the price. And your balls will go farther and easy to see. Can see the flags 500 yards away. Friendly people. Great staff. read more

The worst looking course I've ever played. If you like hitting off hard dirt, this is the place for you. I spotted some grass in the "chipping practice area", so I started to practice my chipping. An individual rolled up in a golf cart and told me "can't you see this chipping area is closed?" I said that there weren't ANY posted signs stating closed. There also wasn't any twine put up around the area at all like the closed practice green. He said, "you don't see anyone else out here chipping." I also did not see ONE sign or ANY other indication that it was closed only one sign that said "Chipping Practice Area". Horribly run golf course and rude staff, no thanks and never again. read more

Alright, the course is being closed due to county RE-zoning & is unplayable as the fairways are 70% dirt due to lack of care. Golf Now refuses to state this on the app. The course is inevitable to close in the following months of 2023. Our visit was 07/04 :) we rescheduled for Los Amigos. Stay tuned. Public LA golf is hellacious. Front desk guy was a king, he was straight forward with us. read more

Built on a old early 50s landfill. No dumping regulations back then. Toxic methane gas, arsenic and lead in soil. Sherwin William's had a.paint factory in 50s on site. Maintenance is not.alowed to dig.in soil below 6 inches. Lawsuits from school.claiming cancer. Irrigation maintenance employee. Had badly infected hands from working in soil. He died at age of.42. From cancer. Water is effluent recycled . Not treated . That's why the grass is dead or not growing and never will. Whatever you do I wouldn't lick my golf ball. Or hit a shot out of.water or mud.

Victoria Golf Course - 6 fairway - Golf Near Me - Carson, California

See all

This review is mainly for the range and chipping/putting practice green. I really appreciate that Victoria offers a grass range on Fridays and weekends. It's a big difference hitting off of grass as opposed to mats. The chipping and putting practice greens also offer different lies and undulation to make chipping and putting practice challenging. Although I have played the 18-hole course, the fairways were burned out and brown and only a few patches of green grass. The greens were well kept and challenging. That's all I have to say about the course. The staff are always helpful every time I've used the facilities. read more

I should have read all the reviews before i go. pro shop person was very unfriendly and RUDE Worst experience ever. read more

Went to the driving range and it's actually not that bad. If you're going there for views and aesthetics, this is not your place. But if you're going to hit some balls and get some reps in, this spot does the job. Not the best but definitely not the worst. read more

This is the worst golf course I've probably ever played. There are no fairways just hard dirt .... And rodent holes EVERYWHERE. Not worth 10 bucks for 18 and certainly not worth the 40 they are charging. All that being said the practice facilities are ok... but overall place is awful. read more

Avoid at all costs. Use to be nice about a decade ago. Now it us like a nuke went off and this is the last remaining golf course.

What an absolute dump. They charge $51 for 18 holes of garbage. Make sure you make a chiropractor appointment after your round because your neck and back are going to be thrown out just attempting to drive the fairways. If you do manage to make it through all 18 without rolling an ankle in the gopher boles or getting attacked by a coyote, you can cap off the nightmare with a cold boiled hot dog and lukewarm bud light from the clubhouse. I use the term clubhouse loosely as it's more like a glorified closet with a few workers thinking more about the end of their shift than providing any level of customer service. There's a good chance you'd have a better round playing in war torn Syria than "the links at Victoria." read more

Balls are terrible, for people who are paying the $50 membership its not worth it and they are raising the price to $56 to provide new golf balls and mats but thats should be given with the $50 read more

Worst course I've ever played. Holes EVERYWHERE. zero fairway Maintenence. Will never play here again

Friendly customer service in the pro shop and a good deal on golf now. However they need to seriously focus on maintenance. More dirt than grass in the fairways. Greens were the only real Green colored grass and in descent shape. Please make this course nice again LA County! read more

Such a bad customer service in pro shop to members ! Michael Padilla was a very rude and had a bad attitude and made me so... upset. I forgot to bring the member card, they don't give out the range balls even they know I am member and they have member names listed in the register systems. A week before they make all the members wait for range balls to pickup balls. There was an hour delay. They increased member fees to $60 instead $50 with out any notice. Why is the member fee higher than others but a low quality of service ? I dont understand why they are so mean to customers. read more

THE WORST GOLF COURSE YOU WILL EVER SEE OR PLAY JN YOUR LIFE!!! After struggling with golfer holes hitting out of pure dirt and mud we made it to the 5th hole and couldn't stand it anymore. We made our way back to the clubhouse to complain and ask for a refund. When the guy behind the counter decline and shook his head at me I asked fine I'll pay for nine holes and ask for a refund on the back nine. I told him how bad the conditions were and to that his reply was "you should've seen how bad the golf course was by the first hole that should have been your hint if you didn't wanna play". He then said because you played more than one hole I can't give you your money back and if I have a problem take it up with the general manager. The only reason I gave this place a one star is because I couldn't give it negative stars. read more

Update 12/21/21: Went again to the range and this place is seriously a joke. I can't believe the balls they use here. So badly worn that some are almost as smooth as a ping pong ball. A few balls had noticeable cracks in them. Regardless, the range was pretty full on a Sunday morning. Perhaps these people are desperate to hit some balls like I was too. $10 for a large bucket and it doesn't even fill up the large bucket. It's only filled about 2/3 of the way. How they continue to stay open amazes me. read more

This photo pretty much sums up my experience. Please, dont go..99% dirt 1% grass. Ull mess up ur irons for sure read more

Victoria Golf Course - This photo pretty much sums up in a nutshell. - Golf Near Me - Carson, California

The Links at Dirtoria Golf Course The Dirt at Victoria Golf Course The Kinks at Victoria Dirt Course This is the worst course I've ever played in my life. I just read how someone wondered if they are letting this place die on purpose. It's like the whole course should be ground under repair, and they have more gopher holes than Caddyshack. It's funny, because you can play this just as badly as you play a really hard course because there is no grass ANYWHERE. And it has been like this for at least the past 5 years according to the photos. What a total shithole, and I feel sorry for the people who play here regularly. read more

This is the worst course... ever. Most of the fairways is barren dirt, huge rocks in the sand traps, they are missing the signs for the tees so you get lost leaving the green to go to the next tee. Absolutely horrible course, especially since they charge ~$20 more than way better courses nearby. Just go somewhere, anywhere else. read more

Ugh and ugh! This course is really, really, really bad. I had agreed to play with my foursome and didn't want to be a jerk and back out. So I went. I was actually not playing that poorly but back the back 9th it was just too much. Some people will probably end up playing this anyway so here's what you can expect: The course has a lot of barren fairways. It's dirt and hard, so your ball will roll and roll, and sometimes roll into trashy areas. I play bright colored balls but it's hard to find because you never know where your ball is going to end up. It's also an ugly course. With trashy rough areas sporadically so if you mishit you will end up in bushes and lose a ball. It also smells a little bit, because of the landfill. The greens are nice and you can see elements of nice course design, and people are friendly, but there's simply better options. read more

I'm going to update my review and give the Links at Victoria a passing grade. Based on playing there (again) this past Saturday with a buddy. He shot one of his better scores there, and seems to think he has luck there, but to no avail...we both struggled (because of our own faults not the course). Here's my thoughts. - The course isn't tough to navigate. The fairways (in most cases) are wide. It's your own fault if you shank a drive. - The greens are of generous size, again it's your fault if you find the hazards...though... - I must say a few of the bunkers are super deep bastards, and not fun to get out from. - Back to the greens...they are FAST. Super fast...tap the ball and watch it run. God forbid you land on the high side of some of the sloped greens because controlling ball speed is almost impossible. BUT...and I correct my past assessment here...they're in good shape. The putting surface is well maintained. It's my own fault I 3-putted 8 times (which is pathetic and unacceptable to me...) - Next up. I was starving again because we teed off ultra early. I relented and got a hot dog. The snack bar attended was nice. The food wasn't bad. - Also, the starter was present on this occasion and he was SUPER friendly (Kevin, I believe). But smiled a lot, had a few jokes for us, and made sure we got off the first tee pretty much on time. - I saw the signs regarding the driving range and course improvements this time (I made a note to look for them). So I am happy the course is going to enhance the grounds and amenities. As requested by the owners/managers, I gave the course a very fair shake, and it surprised me more than I thought. I think a 4th star will be in order once the driving range is re-opened and the improvements are completed. Who knows...maybe more. I hit the fairways pretty well, 11 out of 14. Made 8 greens in reg. and should have made more if my wedges had been better. My big issue IS indeed my putting right now, and no measure of practicing on non-sloped, slower (trampled) putting greens at the range will help this...I need to read speed better, and I need to execute birdie and par putts instead of leaving too much out there and missing the sub 8-foot putts for par...and settling for bogey (or worse). I guess it was all on me from the start...I stuck with you Victoria....now maybe next time the golf god's will shine on my putter! ENJOY! read more

Victoria Golf Course - First tee. - Golf Near Me - Carson, California

This course is CRAP. Ok, let me elaborate. This is a municipal course in Carson, just off the 405, next to that familiar goodyear blimp that motorway goers see on their daily commute. The hole layouts are fairly decent and some towards the back 9 are actually decently challenging with a fair bit of natural hazard. But this has to be one of the WORST MAINTAINED public courses I've played in southern california. The fairways and even rough seem to be more bare dirt than grass. Compared to excellent public courses like Rancho Park, this is not even closeto being worth the $47/person with cart. Will definitely not return. read more

Ughh!!! The golf course is ugly. They should pay you to play at this course. I paid 30 dollars on the weekend to play this trash. The fairways all dirt. The good points are, a Great Driving Range. Good chipping and putting area. . read more

Well, so it has been years and years since my hubby played this course. It USED to be beautiful, and now, he says NEVER again. You can actually ruin your clubs if you are not careful. On the first hole, his ball disappeared. ACTUALLY DISAPPEARED, he drove around and around and his buddy finally found it in a GOPHER/SQUIRREL hole. The tee is ok, but the fairways had HUNDRED OF RABBITS !!! WITH POOP all around. I know it is hard to keep a course nice, but geez, it was the worse course he has ever played at. Never again. Should have gone to Alondra Sorry about the bad review, but you gotta call what you see. read more

These days, when a golf course calls itself a links course, it means the course is crap everywhere except the putting greens. How true that is at Victoria. The fairways are chewed up, and either clumpy or naked. While there is always some player who will say, "they recently replaced the fairways", the improvements only take hold for a short time (I assume because of methane wafting up from the landfill it's built on). In fact, if you can see more than a few continuous yards of even, unclumpy fairway, you've got a keener eye than me. There are several environmentally sensitive areas where errant balls go to die (players are not allowed to step into them). And there are several overgrown areas where finding a wayward drive can be tough, so you may want to play with your cheapest Noodles. Nonetheless, the greens are very good, and while a bit fast, they consistently rolled true. Plus the (copious) sand traps were reasonably full and soft. So while the fairways aren't exactly camera ready, Victoria is a pretty good value when compared to other public tracks in the area. Play Alondra much? Same sort of fairways, but the greens are better at Victoria. read more

This course has improved a lot over the last year. Truly. I had been here before to play last year and conditions were terrible. Fairways were dirt strips. Fairways are greener and better maintained. Not much dirt in the fairways anymore. A couple fairways are hard compacted dirt with grass so there isn't much chance of creating a divot. Probably a broken wrist. I think these are just areas where newly planted grass did not take. A few holes had blocked off areas due to new growth that I'm sure the management doesn't want trampled on until the grass has taken and grown lush enough. Improvements are slowly coming. Greens are really good. A couple of greens were squishy but there had recently been rain, so it's expected. Most if not all other greens were fast in my opinion which I like. Staff in the cafe were courteous and didn't take to long getting my drink and food order quickly before I was holding up anybodies game. I will start playing here more often since the improved conditions. I live in Carson so this is my local course. There is no driving range right now. The driving range is under improvements. read more
