First time playing this one. Really enjoyed it. Layout was cool and the holes were challenging. Course was in pretty good condition. I’ll definitely come back here.

Nice Course & Good Value

I have played at Kempsville Greens many times and I always enjoy playing there. They do a pretty good job at course maintenance and conditions. It was a nice day and I had a good time with my playing partner, Devon, who they paired me with. I had a good value with a TeeOff rate of $23.

Good value for the price.

Decent course

I'm new to the area and have only played bow creek once, and will never go back, but I would definitely replay kempsville.

Enjoyable Course

Early round, overcast conditions and a lot of rain in the two or three days prior to playing, but what a great little course this was to play.

The course is challenging enough to keep you interested without being too much of a challenge to novice golfers (me)... Starting you off with water down the right off the first fairway, water becomes a challenge at a number of courses (lost many balls at the 17th and 18th holes)...

A lot better than I had anticipated this course being, frustrating couple in front of me that wouldn't allow me to play through them despite playing very slowly but such is life.

Greens are in great condition, but as with a lot of courses in the area, I'd like to see them reinstate some of the bunkers that they have taken away.

I will definitely be back for another round or two this summer.

Good Course for the money.

The course wasn't in great shape but the layout and staff made it a great value for the money.

Great course but...

Course is amazing minus the over ambitious marshals. Due to overbooking, we were constantly being rushed as soon as we stepped on the course. While playing at a moderate pace, we received a warning when we had no one waiting behind us. The worst part is, I felt like I was being spoken down to like I was a child. I wish I had a different experience; it was a course I would have gone back to.

Great Small Course.

Played 9 holes after 3pm. Price was $18 w/ cart included. Greens were slow but that was to be expected after 3 days of rain. Course was in good shape and pace of play was more than reasonable. Some holes can be tricky with small bodies of water that poke out into the fairway but are not visible from the tee box. Course can play a little on the short end for the longer hitter but can challenge your approach and short game. Course was worth the greens fee and would play again.

Not Terrible

The greens were just aerated and were super sandy and fast the tee boxes needed some work but for the price to play it's a good value course. The driving range was in bad condition as well but for two bucks for a bucket of balls and only 20 dollars to play it's hard to beat that price for a round of golf

Early in season

Very friendly staff, course was dry but very early in season, lots of water to hit over or around. Think if later in season would be a lot more fun to play but still had a great time.
