Well maintained course. Greens are very nice and still challenging in November. Would play here anytime.
It's a fun muni course
You get what you pay for. It's a fun course that has some challenging holes. Chipping is pretty easy as there isn't really any rough. I felt like the greens were different speeds but maybe that's because I suck at putting. Not dying to play there again but worth a trip if you don't want something too expensive or if you have a buddy that lives in the area.
Absolutely beautiful
The course was in great shape and fall is in the air because the trees look like someone took a paint brush to them.The greens and really really fast and overall the course is in great shape and the staff was friendly as always.Give it a try you won't be disappointed.
Play and enjoy
this is a course everyone should play. If you hit your ball straight you will enjoy a great second shot. The course plays with several dog legs left and right however you will like the layout.
Great day
We had 3 groups play at Suffolk today and found the course and staff to be very nice and accommodating,not real sure what the previous 2 reviews are all about from the same guy(you have to wonder why he was a single NO FRIENDS from bad attitude)we have played it so many times and will return again soon because John and the staff have been more than willing to help with our group anytime we have been there.Keep up the good customer service and course conditions.
Horrible experience
Not worth the effort assigned to twosome which blew me off standing on putting green next option play thru single thru Shotgun tournament!!! Poor southern etiquette poor GOLF etiquette poor customer service there are some fine municipal courses in Tidewater this is not one of them!!!!!
Not Worth the Time Not Worth the Money
Horrible experience! First time and last time at the course. There are may well run municipal courses in Tidewater this is not one of them. No starter. Blown off by the assigned twosome. Offered to play as a play through single through a shot gun tournament. No golf etiquette. No southern etiquette poor customer service. Spend more play a better course!
Excellent for using many clubs
Very good condition and great layout. It helps if you play it once so you know the layout. Very friendly staff. Love playing this course.
Great day of golf.
Maybe my best golf now experience to date. All of the staff were friendly and professional but I must single out the nice lady behind the snack counter for providing warm friendly service at the turn. I was teamed with a golf now threesome and we started right on time. Dave , Nick and John were great guys and I really enjoyed the round with them. It's a fun layout with a mix of doglegs to the left and right, some fun par threes and most of the par fives where reachable birdie holes. There hasn't been much rain around here lately so the course was a little dry and the greens were firm, but it was still very playable and that added to the challenge a little. You will like this course and enjoy a lake view on a couple holes.
Course is in great shape
Our group hadn't played at Suffolk in about a month and we thought it was really nice the last time but the course is in such good shape you can play the ball down in the fairways,John the pro told us they have been fertilizing them every month and we must say they are nice,the greens were smooth and fast and the new cart paths make it really nice,Hats off to the maintenance crew and thanks John for making our round enjoyable as always
Nice for the price
The greens were still full of sand from maintenance...wasn't published prior to starting the round. The distances are very poorly marked. A rangefinder is highly recommended.
Playing better than any course in Tidewater.
Nothing but great things to say about all aspects of this course, staff and facilities. Playing better than all the other courses I have been playing in the area.....and I have played them all; municipal and private. Tee boxes, greens and fairways in spectacular shape. Pro shop and snack bar staff very friendly and practice facilities are adequate. Price to play 18 with cart more than reasonable. Challenging design that makes you think! Play this course now!!!?
Course is really nice right now
Our group plays st Suffolk at least once a month and it's in the best shape we have ever seen it,thanks John for always being so courteous and helpful and we will be back soo.P.S the new cart pats are really nice to ride on
Could be nice
This could be a wonderful course. I have played it maybe 10 times over the years. Its open well designed to work on shot strategy. The course is mostly in good shape for the summer. Its also cheap 23 to ride after 2pm during the week. Now the cons... 1 Not enough water. Only 1 water cooler per nine holes (and that was empty when i got to it) This was with a heat index >100. I had water bit not near enough
This wouldnt have bothered me if the proshop didnt argue that the coolers were not empty (now).. that soesnt help me when There is no drink cart (when i was playing) and I had a dehydration headach before I finished the front 9. Filled my water and purchased a drink, but golf is not as much fun with a headache.. so BRING YOUR OWN WATER BECAUSE YOU CANT DEPEND ON GETTING ANY ON COURSE. Also, the cart paths were really torn up. I mean sections missing and lots of rough patches.. the looked like they had been there for at least a week. Hopefully they will repair these because the current condition made it harder to find the yardage markers. Again i like the couese, it just needs some diligent maintenance. Play this in spring or early fall for the best experience.
Suffolk Golf Course
Fairways were in good condition without any bare spots. Greens looked in rough condition, but were smooth and fast for this area. Tee boxes need some maintenance, pretty chewed up and rarely found a flat spot on them. Pace of play was 4 hours, could have been faster, but the group ahead of us was slow and wouldn't let us play thru.
Course in great shape
We played a tournament there today and found the course to be in great shape and the rate is only 33 dollars and the pro told us number 6 green did have some Winterkill from the harsh winter but the sod they put down should be great by the end of the month.The other 17 greens were good and the course very well groomed for our event and the price is about 20 dollars less than any other course in the Suffolk area which is great value so I think the previous review has Champagne taste on a beer budget because they got the hot deal( wants to be a country club member but can't afford it) .Thanks John( pro shop manager) for accommodating our military group today and I will be back with the regular Foursome to your course very soon.
Nice course if the price is right
Lots of trees along the rough, but several holes are good driving holes if you like to rip it.
Normally priced as if this were a top course in the area, which it is not, we got a good value because of a GolfNow hot deal. They replaced the greens a year or so ago, which were much improved at that time, but sadly they are not as good this year, and one of them (hole 6) is in bad shape (but is being re-sodded). Most sand traps continue to have only a thin layer of sand over hard-packed, clay-like dirt. Attempting a proper sand shot in most traps (there are a few exceptions) will result in the club bouncing into the ball and knocking it well over the green.
Would I recommend it to a friend? That may depend on the friend! The course is a nice layout, and would be worth the money if the condition (top priority: traps; next: greens) were a bit better. At the right price it is a nice track.
Previous review
Not sure why it posted would not recommend to a friend because I definitely would and we already booked our tee time for this coming weekend,
