Kempsville Greens

No Grass on the Fairway! Cut down to mud! Greens Ok but bumpy! Had to play back nine which is a makeshift nine! This course was once a nice 9 hole course! Developer got greedy and put home and apartments around a terrible back 9 layout! Cant really play here until end of May or June when Bermuda is finally growing!

Great time

We had a lot of fun, the greens were in pretty good shape considering the time of year. The course itself is generally tight so placement was very important. The staff was very gracious and friendly.

Cold morning

When my partner and I arrived for our 9:12 tee time, we were told that the putting green and course were in a frost delay. We did not have an opportunity to loosen up after months of not playing. We finally teed off and found the course much improved from last year. It was obvious that the greens had been completely overhauled. It took us by surprise at how fast they ran now. After the front nine, we finally settled in and had adjusted to the change. The back nine was a lot warmer and speed of play was not a problem. Overall the course is much better than I previous years. Mike has done a great job improving the greens.

Rude employees on multiple occasions. They cram tee times in and rush you. Ive been told to pick up the pace when the nearest group was 2 holes back

Best course for a budget

I live right up the road from kempsville and it’s definitely my favorite time waster because of how cheap 9/18 are. There’s been a few times we’ve got behind walkers from 9 - 12:30 which kinda sucks but they’ve usually let us play through. Overall great course.
