Local Gem

Still enjoy playing Red Wing! In really decent shape with all the rain - a few soggy areas in the fairways (standing water). The course is a hidden gem that I still enjoy playing...good rate, good pace of play, course is in good condition. Recommend if you are looking to thoroughly enjoy and receive a challenging day of golf.

Stopped playing this course a long time ago...should not have come back

I use to play this course several times a year and I stopped because the course itself fell off dramatically. My wife and I tried it again a week ago...nothing has changed. We normally play a course 5 minutes from our house that is always in excellent condition no matter the recent weather. The fairway grass at Redwing lake was way too long on almost all the fairways. With an 8:10 am tee time you would expect the greens and bunkers to be neat and clean...not here...very few of the bunkers were raked and EVERY green had 5-10 deep pitchmarks in them. You normally expect a few from people ahead of u that dont have good course manners once in a while. But at that time of morning, with few people ahead of us...it was as if there were a couple days worth of unrepaired marks. Our home course, which is a public course run by the same group, has a guy that goes around throughout the day and fixes that very issue. My wife ended up having a shoe issue while out on the course. The pro shop had ZERO pairs of women's shoes. When I asked the pro shop guy if they may have some not yet on the shelves all i got was a "nope", he didn't even look up from the golf glove display he was doin. This was not a good course 5-10 yrs ago....AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED. We will not be returning to this course ever again. There are much better courses in Virginia Beach.

One of my favorite courses in the area

Awesome course to play. First impressions are hard to erase, CART ARE ALWAYS DIRTY. For the money you pay you should get a clean cart. Overall great staff, one in particular is on the rude side. Fun course but can also test the game of the skilled. Some hole do hold water after a big rain. I can play this course any day.

Great course at the beach

This course is one of my favorites! Always in great condition and super drainage after a rain while others in the area remain swampy. Visually attractive, occasional wildlife sightings, and very challenging. Don't worry about the gunfire and explosions over the tree line...that's just the sounds of freedom from Dam Neck Naval Base.

Annual vacation

The course was not busy due to COVID-19 so it we had a nice leisurely round. I try to play here every year when I visit and the course was in the best shape I can recall. It is a fun course, convenient to where we stay and a good value.

Course closed, why didn’t we know this

This course was closed the three previous days as well as the day we were scheduled to play. . Why were we permitted to even book a tee time if the course was closed. This is clearly a design flaw in the GolfNow app. Sad.

Standing water

Red Wing has a nice layout. Unfortunately there’s a LOT of standing water on the course, often blind from the tee box. I lost at least 3 balls in the 9 holes I was able to play due to the ponding. The pace was slow because the 4 some in front of me was playing the tips and weren’t long enough to play there, and a 4 some of seniors in front of them.

Hello, Glenn. Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. Your feedback about the course is important to us. With the recent rain we are working to get everything up to par. We have projects ongoing to recover the fairways and greens from the water on the course. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comment for guidance. Thank you for playing Red Wing Lake Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.

A Good Course for the Money

I have played at Redwing Lake for many years and it is usually in good shape and offers a challenge to golfers of all abilities. I usually try to schedule Tee Times through TeeOff for special rates. I recommend using that for finding good deals.

Starting to wear

I like playing this course. It's somewhat challenging and you have to use strategy on many of the holes.

But the course is heavily used and is now starting to show it. There are many areas where the grass has been worn down to bare ground by cart travel. There are also several areas on fairways that have poor drainage and small ponds/mud holes have formed, even after many days of dry weather.

Still, it's a fun course with beautiful scenery and wildlife that will challenge even the best players.

Great Value and Quick Pace

I played as a single on the front 9 early on a Friday morning. Only one foursome ahead of me and they let me play through. Finished 9 holes in under 90 minutes. The course was in decent shape for a public course. There were water hazards on several holes which made it interesting. Overall, great course and I’d play it again.
