Tee boxes are worn out and uneven. Fairways are really thin and dry. Some areas along the fairway or rough will be stoney. Greens are bumpy and patchy. Golf course that makes me cringe.

Good course for the cist

Got a hot deal on GolfNow. Prior reviews weren’t great but have to say it was ok. Course not in the best shape but not too bad either. Greens are really slow and bumpy but can’t complain too much for the price. Was a good day and I would play it again - realizing it’s not a premier course.

GREAT COURSE, GREAT VALUE!

Great course! It rained earlier, so portions of the course were bogged down a little, but certainly not a negative aspect. Holes 17 & 18 are super challenging and fun! Just prepare to lose a few balls!

11:10 am tee time on a Tuesday....why did it take 3 hours to play 9 holes? I was told I couldn’t walk since I was paired up with 3 other people. Those 3 other people tees off 10 minutes early without me. Also 1 was walking....so why couldn’t I walk? Also, 3 hours for 9 holes is ridiculous. I asked to rain check the back 9 for as early as tomorrow and was told I could not. And that it has something to do with Golfnow. I’ve done this before at this course no issues(thanks to Scott). So I paid for 18, and got to play 9. It’s not a bad course but everytime I play here I have a bad experience with this issue. Probably won’t play here again.

Great Place to Spend the Day

This course is ALWAYS fun to play! The fairways are wide with beautiful (inviting:) water hazards. The staff is super helpful and friendly. Golf carts always immaculate. Mike Fentress and his staff do an outstanding job of creating an alluring paradise to play your best game!

Love this course

I play with a weekly women’s group at Kempsville Greens. All of the gentlemen on this course treat us with respect and friendliness. Mike and his staff great us warmly each Monday morning. The course has followed the Covid safety rules and has allowed us to take separate carts for those who ride. Most of our group do walk, however. We are all retired women who love golf and we love playing at Kempsville.

The course has just enough challenges to keep the play interesting but not frustrating. It always leaves you wanting to come back.
