Nice course, right price

I'm a beginner, and this was my first one-on-one game ever played. We had a foursome, and had a great time. Everybody there - other players and staff - were respectful and friendly. I can't say how challenging the course was since it was my first game and, well, I'm certainly not ready for the Masters yet. I would recommend the course to a friend, and will play there again.

Good value for the price

This could be a great course to play but it has been neglected for too long. It is still a good value for the price

Below average at best…

I play Kempsville greens a lot because the course is close to my neighborhood and very convenient to play after work in the summer. But I have a hard time understanding where all my green fees go because in the last two years, there have been zero improvements to this course and it seems to get just a little bit worse every time I play it. If you’re looking for a quick 9 after work, it’s below average at best, but if you’re looking for a decent course, I would stick to Cypress stumpy Redwing or any of the other courses in VB.

Improved recently

I had not played at Kempsville for a couple of years due to course conditions but the crew has clearly worked hard to improve the greens which were fairly horrible in years gone by. The fairways were also in nice shape in most areas. I played very early so pace of play was a nonissue. The staff in the clubhouse are always welcoming. Overall, I think you get good value for money when just trying to get out and enjoy the walk.

The course

The fairways were 95% weeds. The teebox was either dirt or mattes. The greens were mostly weeds or under repair. The staff was nice and friendly.

It's older, and it's been played...it's fun with some sneaky hard water hazards.
