Course Satisfaction

Poor condition. Fairways were mostly dirt resulting in tight lies around the green. Greens were slow and did not roll true. Maybe will be better in the summer, but overall not pleased with course conditions whatsoever. Great lay out, just a shame it’s not kept up well.

Winter golf

Course conditions were typical for the winter, piece of play with a little slower than normal. Always a good time layout makes that much more entertaining.

Suffolk Golf Course

Was really impressed with this course after playing for the first time. Pace of play was excellent the day we played. Greens were excellent, small and undulating, relatively fast and VERY well manicured. I thought the course layout was interesting, some elevation changes which we don’t get much of in Virginia Beach. Tee boxes were fair, fairways were fair. Will definitely be back, fantastic value

A peanut

About what you’d expect with a golf course in mid December. Greens were decent, no sand in the traps, decent fairways. Strange placement of the tee boxes on some holes the pin placements seemed to be very close to the edges of the greens and usually had a lot of break on your putts. I’d like to see the pins in flatter areas on the green. I’d play it again in the spring.

Slow play

Made the turn only to be held up by a foursome that was alloewd to start on the 10th. In addition their skill lever was very novice. They should have been advised that folks coming off the front nice have the right of way.

First Time Playing

Rude players and inconsiderable marshall

First, I want to start that I rate the course with two different reviews.

Course: I’d give 5 stars due to the greens and the scenery. Good cart path. Lots of leaves but due to the fall it makes sense. Lots of woods.

Pro shop: everyone was super nice. Great breakfast and the woman making the food was lovely.

************* HOWEVER ************

Here is why I am writing this review.

Myself along with two other friends played 18 holes Saturday with a 930 tee time. Not sure if this came into play, but we are all young females. We had a group behind us, and after we tee’d off we drove down to our balls to continue. Mind you as this was the first hole we were not warmed up and were practicing our swing a bit before hitting. As I go to hit the ball the group behind us *yells* “let’s go!” Not only was this COMPLETELY inappropriate in general but also to the fact we were on the course and as I hit. What happened to course etiquette?!

** and the Marshall who was right next to this group allowed this?! The players were able to continue to play with this behavior?! Completely unprofessional. Rude. Mind the fact we had a group in front of us as well. We can only go as fast as the group clears in front of us. If there was an issue on our timing, please use some etiquette and manners to have the Marshall handle the situation. At the next hole we confronted the group to let them know how rude it was but to allow them to play ahead to not feel bullied through the game we all equally payed for, regardless of membership status or not.

As we played this group of four older men continued ahead of us and we played at about the same speed. Therefore they were not any more fast than we were nor were they able to get ahead far enough that if we were ahead the timing would have been any different.

The manners and how people were raised cannot be changed but the Marshall who was RIGHT NEXT to this group should have stepped in.

I think it is important to not only address this to the course but to inform other golfers that the Marshall here apparently will not step in to combat an incredibly rude situation and handle it as it should be handled. Can I confirm something was said to these players? No. Were these players able to continue play and to possible bully other golfers? Yes.
