Greens were perfect today

The greens today were as good as any in the area and our group has really enjoyed playing this well manicured golf course,The pro said they have a rather large tournament coming up soon so there getting ready for that and it sure shows,I though we missed a turn and went to a private club,If you get a chance to play there you should go it's one of the best values in our area.

Excellent Old and Scenic Course

If you want a course that is not necessarily a long course but will make you use a lot of clubs in your bag, this is it.

Pleasure To Play Here

My wife and I played this course for the first time Aug 30, 2014 and thoroughly enjoyes it. The course is not too challenging, especially for High handicappers and seniors who will play well here with the wide fareways and short grass in the rough.

Excellent Value

One of the best kept secrets in Hampton Roads golf. Course is in great shape, new greens really coming into there own. This course would cost twice as much to play if it were located at the beach. Well worth the trip to Suffolk.

Fun, Challenging, Great Value!

My colleagues and I have played several courses in Suffolk recently. Someone suggested we try this course, and I am so glad they did. The course was in amazing shape (see attached pic). Tough but fair. Greens were perfect, fairways striped, scenery galore (even spotted a bald eagle on hole 12). Staff was friendly, pace of play was perfect. We will definitely return. The $28 was well worth it! Thank you for a great experience.

Suffolk city course

The greens were really fast, the fairway was in decent shape. The killer was the bunkers, the sand was hard as concrete. But for the price that day I could not complain too much, which is what I'm doing. I would play that course again for that price.

Suffolk GC 07/17/2014

The course overall was in fair to good shape. The greens were fast so took a little time to get used to. Fairways were fair with some crabgrass in them.

Practice facility was poor with lots of crabgrass and hard pack dirt.

Fun Round But Course Has Room For Improvment

New greens are hard, bumpy and inconsistent. Fairways are ok. Tee boxes are full of crab grass. Challenging course and fun to play minus the above shortcomings.

No frills

This is one of if not the oldest public course in Suffolk. Traditional tree lined. Slightly narrow fairways, plenty of elevated greens. Penalty for not keeping in fairway. Average but recommended for any beginner. Despite having new greens last year, they are stubby now. Unable to get a pure roll. If looking for bang for the buck this is the course.

Good Shape after all the rain

We had a group drive over from Va Beach to play because it was raining at the beach and found the course pretty dry[it wasn't cart path only]From the last couple of reviews we weren't sure what to expect but after going there and playing i'm not sure what those people were talking about because the course was in good shape[wet in spots but to be expected with all the rain]and the greens were in great shape.It was the first time we played there since the new greens were done last year and they putted great and the course looked good the way the stripes were mowed into the fairways,We will be back again soon because it doesn't cost an arm and leg like most courses on the weekend,Nice staff and food was good.

Burnt Greens

The course is a fun track to play with some really tough holes.
With that said i know they replaced the greens last year and have seem to let them go to waste, greens were bumpy and burnt up making putting quite the task, the tee boxes are short rough and fairways seem to be a little long. there are a lot nice courses for the same or less money

I'm not real sure what course the guy HOWERTON13 played because we played there today[Saturday August 16th] and the course was in great shape and the greens were fast and smooth,He should go back and see for himself and we played in less than four hours so that's always nice for a weekend round.Thanks for a enjoyable day and the weather was perfect.

Not for the price

For the price much rather play Sleepy Hole. Greens didn't roll smooth. Needs to a good weed eater! Tee boxes shaggy.

Sleepy hole the last time we went there the pro shoved 3 groups off in front of us as we made the turn[it took 3 hours to play the back] and the place was so wet balls plugged in the fairways and you couldn't them,we played Suffolk this weekend and it was in great shape and the price was better then most area courses

Disappointing

After reading the reviews for this course I had relatively high hopes for this facility. It was a let down to say the least.

The layout was interesting and the holes were laid out well but the conditions of the greens and fairways were very poor. Apparently they are doing new Bermuda on the greens which requires frequent aeration but these greens were full of weeds and crab grass as well as being stripped and scorched in many places. On of the greens on a par three was probably 70% sand. Made putting a nightmare.

The fairways were almost anything but fair. Not only were they poorly mowed (very high) but their were a half a dozen different kinds of grass and weeds in any square yard. The tee boxes were equally inconsistent.

We had a golf now deal for $30 each which still seems about $10 high for the condition of the course. I don't plan on coming back.

nice track/great value

Play this course several times each year. This time, played on a Friday morning. As usual, staff helpful & friendly. Overall, course in pretty good shape: fairways a bit dry but good grass and well-defined. Most of the traps we 'visited' well-maintained (a few need a bit more sand). Only mild disappointment was condition of the greens. Recently aerated and healing slowly. Most greens were very bumpy and therefore putting was difficult. Greens were redone last fall and have been among best in area until recently. Am hopeful time and more consistent, green-friendly weather help greens return to excellent level. Still, a well laid out track that features lots of natural beauty, some holes that are quite challenging and some that are straight forward.... a course where you'll have a chance to use virtually every club in your bag. Will definitely return

Like the Layout - Manage Your Shots

I like playing the Old Suffolk course. Maybe because of the recent rains the fairways were high and greens had small uneven points. But was still fun to be out in the country hitting the ball...wasn't golfing too good that day!

Nice Course

Course is in pretty good shape considering the storms we had 3 days earlier. A little too wet to mow so fairways and greens were kind of long. Had an enjoyable round. Thank you.
