Kempsville Greens Golf Course

Great staff and good pro shop. Bathrooms well kept. Carts are in great shape and run fast.

Course was under construction which I didn't know until I got there. Note on booking didn't give details about situation. All greens were blocked off and moved forward onto the fairways. Some made the distance 60 to 80 yds shorter. More work is needed besides the greens. The tee boxes were hard as a rock and many were 50 % or more bare dirt. The geese are a problem and dominate the tee boxes and the greens alo g with leaving their poop where you have to walk. Numerous cigarette butts on tee boxes as well as broken tees.

Many of the fairways were dried up and contained deep holes and bare dirt sections. I have played this course in years past and it was much better. I guess the greens work is being done so let the rest "go to pot" is the thinking. It seems you could work on front 9 then the back 9 after completing. Worker there said if we do all 18 greens it takes 6 weeks. If we do 9 then 9 it would take 10 years. That makes no sense. Not even a funny thing to say.

Also huge trees cut and laying around all over the course. Unsafe areas. Why not cut and clean up each tree. Oh, I got it, it would take 10 years.

Co.e on guys, get your act together and take some pride.

I have recommended your course to others in past years. Not now. Glad I had a discount to use on this day.

Greens are under repair as advertised. Very helpful staff

Ryan displayed excellent customer service. I would definitely recommend 10/10.

No info about course renovations when booked tee time. Got there at 7 am and told me about renovations. Greens being redone, temporary greens, mats for tee shots on all par 3’s, extra large cups to putt too. Course with temp greens probably played 3,000 yards. One hole had no temp green, water all around the green. Had a little boat anchored in the water with a flag in it???? To show you have easy it was, I shoot in the upper 80’s. Had 3 eagles and shot a 67. Hopefully after renovations it will be worth playing, now NOT SO MUCH?

I wonder what happened! All the greens are in need of repair and it's evident that temperary greens are being developed for most of the 18 holes. So if you want to work on putting stick to the putting greens. I met some really nice golfers that play there often but they indicated it was their last time until next year. The course overall is a challenging experience but the condition of the grounds makes it impossible to have a true golf experience. Artificial turf driving mats as tee box; Brown, worn and blistered greens leave alot to be desired!

NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!!!!! Green are absolute trash. Pace of play is horrendous took almost 3 hours to play the front 9. Marshall……what Marshall to be honest. Last time I will ever play this course

Get rid of turf mats on tee boxes. Grow some grass on the course and start maintaining the greens.

Not a bad layout. Have to hit it both ways off the tee. Short course that is fairly tight in places. My group was told to hurry up when no one was behind us for a hole. Some of the greens had poor areas but pin placements tried to evade the rough patches. I’ll play there again at some point.

City course that is not lush like a higher price course. It has multiple challenging holes while the tees and greens show lack of investment.

Couldn’t turn down $18 for 18 holes. Course didn’t impress me but it also wasn’t a complete disappointment. The staff were very friendly! Tee boxes were horrible, fairways and bunkers were marginal at best, and the greens were hit or miss. I’m a single digit handicap who really only cares about the greens, if putts roll somewhat true I can overlook the conditions everywhere else. 2-3 of the greens were terrible, like walk up to the green, laugh, pick the ball up and walk off to the next tee terrible. The rest of the greens weren’t terrible but they were far from true. Puts bounced and hopped there way to the hole. Overall the course was pretty much what I expected for $18 I was just hopeful for slightly better greens.

Your greens need serious work. Many greens are covered with patches of other grass growing or bare patches of sand.

we do not like the mats placed at certain holes to hit off of. we would rather hit off the ground even if there is no grass. with the mats in place. we are unlikely to play there as often.
