Affordable price

Don't be fooled.

This course is challenging, especially if you play from the back tees, you'll need every shot in your game, meaning some holes you'll need to hit a fade or a draw,and some straight shot, the greens are well kept fairways are decent, few bad spots but the worst thing is the cart path can give you back pain if you drive fast on it, honestly for the price , greens a d GPS on cart is well worth the play.

Good experience overall

The front 9 greens had been aerated recently.

Fairways were pretty dry. No beer cart which is just as well because 12 ounce cans cost $7.40.

But we had a good time overall.

9 Holes in no time

It was an amazing day for a round of golf, I was able to play nine holes with a cart in under 2 hours with wonderful new friends that I was paired up with as a single. This is a great way to say goodbye to a Monday or any work day!

Mistake choosing Kempsville Greens

I've played there before and now I remember why I have not replayed the course.

Staff made me feel uncomfortable. Same thing the last time I played there.

Won't be playing there again. Won't recommend. Go anywhere but there. Red Wing

is much much better.

Becoming my local favorite

I've been playing this course on and off for a couple of years now. About 2 years ago I had a very bad experience there and wound up walking off the course after 9. But that day is history and things have certainly changed. It is obvious management is working hard at maintaining the course. There were no "bad" greens, I think out of the 18 there were 2 with small bare spots which they were working to fix. Fairways are great. They have removed a number of sand traps over the years which makes the course a little less challenging. Just this past week they brought in all new carts and they are being outfitted with GPS video screens. The staff is very friendly. Excellent course for the money. Pace of play was a bit slow but I find that to be the case at many courses these days, and I only play on weekdays!!!

Horrible Staff

Staff ruined it, course was nice gentlemen at the desk checked us in and were very helpful. Once we got to our golf carts and headed to the first hole was stopped by a staff member who immediately & rudely told us (party of 5) that we could not play together, in which we replied no problem, shortly after the same staff member started to rush us, saying that we were holding people up. My frustration is that we were the only party being rushed and also the only party of color. It’s sad to say that even though my money is green just like everyone else’s I’m still defined by my skin color. Will never go back and spend my hard earned money at this place again.

The course is well laid out, several water "opportunities for a lost ball" on the back nine. Overall the course is well taken care of and a pleasure to play.

The course is in excellent condition except for the greens. They were bumpy, due ti being aerated just a couple of weeks ago. I want to come back and play it again real soon.

Great course, but always ask for a receipt

The course was amazing! I had a lot of fun. The only pain point was that I went and bought a beet for the second half of 18. I was one of the last players (my tea time was around 3 PM) and the staff member seemed annoyed. I bought one beer and he said it was $7 for a corse light (he gave himself a larger tip I suppose because that's not how much they cost). I did not ask for a receipt checked my bank statement a few days later and the cost of my 1 beer was $17.00! So that was not ideal.

Again the course itself, was fantastic, and I'll be back. But ill ask for a receipt...

The course is the worst in Virginia

This has got to be the worst course in Virginia Beach, the fairways are like you're hitting out of a cow pasture, the Marshall said the greens were good cause they've been working on them for the past year,but they were horrible they were patchy and tore up. I highly recommend not wasting you're money here unless you plan on getting drunk.
