The layout is changed here by moving baskets on a rotation but also but rotating the tee pad location occasionally. DeBell is the perfect course for a putters only throw down with your friends. This course is not going to present a big challenge for any player over 900 but it's a fun play.

DeBell DGC is set on the grounds of a typical little Three Par Ball Golf Course. As with most of these three par courses, the grounds feature a good amount of varied elevation and scattered trees, great terrain for disc golf. You tee off the grass with the tees being marked by the little round blue balls, just like a real golf course. The baskets are Innova with the yellow bands and are easy to spot here. The $5 to play on weekdays ($7 on weekends) is fairly steep and will probably keep many players away. It makes much more cents if you plan on playing multiple rounds to get the bang for your dollars.

The distances aren't long but there are some technical holes which require proper placement of your shots. The golf greens are considered OB which add to the course's difficulty.
The wind was blowing pretty good on the day I played. I understand that's pretty much the norm here.

I liked # 9 as the signature hole. it's about 400' over a drainage ditch/creek and through a gap in the trees to a basket somewhat up the hill heading back to the clubhouse/pro shop.

Everyone seemed pretty comfortable and welcoming having disc golfers on the course. This was the first of three of these Par Three Ball Golf Courses I played in SoCal.

$5 or $7 to play is steep especially if you only play one round.
The course, while wonderfully maintained by disc golf standards, was not perfectly green and beautiful like many golf courses.
It's a recreational course in both length and difficulty.

Wishing I was younger (Yeah, OK, much, much younger) because as I was leaving there was a group of extremely hot young (HS) girls starting to play a round of three Par.

I'd play this course if I lived close and it was convenient. The cost would probably detract me somewhat but it certainly does help keep the rift-raft away and away from the nubile young girls.

Really nice grass. Well groomed.

No signs on tees. Two orange rocks mark each tee. Had to spend a lot of time looking for the tees. Found it very annoying. I'm sure they have to be adding signs. Only 9 holes. Had to pay $6 (weekend)

I commend a "ball" golf course for adding disc golf. However, I think they would benefit from asking some locals to come up with a more challenging lay out. If you live within 30 minute drive, it would be worth the drive just for variety. If you are traveling, not worth doing.

Easy terrain for walking (all grass)
Varied elevation
$4 weekday / $6 weekend keeps the riff raff out
Discatchers
No blinds
Nice neighborhood
Varying, swirling winds (haven't felt wind in 5 days, haven't felt wind since I left)
Benches, trash cans, and water fountains for all you amenity chasers

Short
Natural tees (assuming this will improve)
No multiple tees (was told this will improve)
Very small piece of land, difficult for any reliable expansion to occur. Unless we expand to the 18 hole...which would be awesome.

DeBell Disc Golf is the latest 'Disc on Ball Golf Course' in the Los Angeles area and it is the most tame one yet. This simple 9 hole course sits on about 10 acres of rolling hills below a debris basin bordering an upscale neighborhood. A variety of trees including maple and pine trees shape lines on the course and typically will not allow errant discs to pass through. A concrete river-type-thing runs through the center of the course, and as of now does not play OB.

The course begins strong with a set of downhill holes, the first being a very obtainable steeper shot and the second I believe is the longest on the course. Look for the orange rocks (maybe more colors in the future?), which indicate the tee. They will be near the ball golf tees, within about 50 feet or so...our course follows the same layout as the existing course. Temporary tee signs were set up with distances on them, but I'm not sure if these will last or if something will replace them once they tweak all the tee locations. Beyond the 2nd hole, distances shorten up but the course opens up a bit for holes 6 and 7.

Once across the ravine on hole 4, the remainder of the course reveals itself to players as the majority of it is visible from that point...and it's not very large. Nonetheless, these holes are not just straight-forward pitch and putts; most incorporate a substantial turn, and there is even a nifty triple mando on hole five (a tunnel, and later a tree that you shouldn't pass). Additionally, the ball golf greens were on several occasions placed in the 'wrong' landing zone providing additional punishment for the wrong shot. For example, on a left dogleg, the bolf greens were dead ahead. Remember, ball golf greens play OB at these courses.

Hole 9 appeared to be the designers favorite hole, a right dogleg over a ravine with substantial tree coverage. This hole still needs a little time to mature but while it does not look very obtainable off of the tee, we found that our drives were all within long-birdie range, as was the case on several previous holes. That tends to happen when most holes are in the 250 foot range My favorite part about hole 9 was the fact that the ball golf green is right where a well thrown straight shot would land, which provides a challenge for beginner players.

Locals, please be sure to get up to this course and support the Disc on Ball Golf movement. It's not going to really win you over with its mega extreme challenges, but its always nice to have a new course. If these struggling Par 3 courses (and they are EVERYWHERE) start to pull profit from disc, we will see more disc golf installments...simple as that. This is a great course to visit if you are introducing somebody to the sport: It's clean, quiet, fun, and straightforward. In addition, it's pretty hard to lose a disc here. On both of our visits we saw a few 'disc golfers' but more importantly saw a bunch of kids and families throwing disc which is great! Something we just don't see too often in LA. I wish Zach and everybody at DeBell all the best with the evolution of the course as well as a local club. This is now the closest disc golf course for millions of residents in the Eastern San Fernando Valley. Oh, and props to Burbank for having the Mayor come out for the opening day ceremonies, what a great way to make us feel welcome in their city!
