Chesapeake Golf Club

About
Chesapeake Golf Club sits tucked away in the idyllic village of Las Gaviotas, conveniently situated just 15 minutes from downtown Norfolk. Boasting some of the best greens in the Tidewater area, the club offers the amenities of a private club with the fees of a public golf course. The layout will challenge you with rolling fairways and tricky doglegs. Water hazards come into play frequently so be prepared for a few intimidating blind shots over water. Mature trees line the rolling fairways and there are also strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greensides. The manageable 6,278-yard length is approachable for beginners yet there are still holes that long hitters will enjoy. Chesapeake Golf Club is a course that will test your skills but it's not overly punishing for the high handicapper.

Green on the back nine. Pretty representative of a fair number of greens. Photo submitted by marcpeot on 06/09/2024

Huge Potential
Fun course and great staff. Course needs work, but most the greens were nice. The clubhouse had a good vibe and everything was clean. Some greens looked like they were being repaired. The rough is DEEP and you'll likely spend a lot of time looking for a ball. Dont lay your club down because it'll disappear as well. The fairways on the back 9 need some love too, but overall a lot better than I expected. We'll be back and look forward to seeing the course develop.
Some improvements but still more to be done
The course conditions have improved some since the last time I played here 1 year ago. However there are still some holes where the greens need improvement along with the fairways.
They are turning it around
Not gonna lie last year and start of this year i swore this place off. They really have been putting the work in. Course is in much better shape, not amazing but good. Definitely worth the money, they even have a little bar and grill now thats good
Needs Work
Course needs better management. Gave this course another chance after 6 months, but this has to be one of the worst maintained courses in the area. Greens and tee boxes are horrific. Some greens under repair so putting on make shift fairway greens. Geese and goose crap everywhere. Play somewhere else. Course could be fantastic, but I won’t pay the current rates to play this course again in its current condition.
Ball Eater
I would've rated the course much better had there not been two temporary greens that were unmarked. Anything off he fairway and good luck finding your ball. two feet off the fairway and we were searching for 3-4 minutes, the ball just buries in that grass,
Course has potential
I booked a group of three and we invited an elderly gentleman to join us on the first tee. We hadn’t played there in a year because the greens had gotten so bad. The greens are improving but still need more time. Also there are 2 temporary greens which are nothing more than a hole in the fairway. For whatever reason the course holes have been re-numbered so you have back to back par 5’s on holes 3 & 4. The pace of play was okay but there are were far too many singles and doubles. We let a few play through but after the front nine we stayed in position - never saw another foursome. I would not pay full price to play this course in its current condition. I do like the challenge and layout of the course. I’ll give it a couple of months and try the course again if I can get a deal through GolfNow.
Great day
Great course…. They are working on greens… rough is a little long… makes missing fairway very challenging…
Great Course
I’m a fan of how they rearranged the course so now you get back to the clubhouse on the 9th hole. Friendly staff, anwesome price, and overall a great course to play on.
Great value
Good course… a few greens need some work… would like to see more drinking water available…
Recent Round
Haven’t played this course at all this year. Fairways were the best thing about the course today. So many ball marks on the greens, traps not raked… goose turds everywhere (I get that problem) they’re a nuisance! Some of the t-boxes were grassless & plenty muddy. Greens were brown on some holes also. I’m a bogey golfer, but care about those things and still needed to mention them. Couldn’t grab any snacks or drinks before the round as well… nothing was open to do so?
Strange layout but otherwise good experience
Multiple holes where you double back to the next tee box, the turn is technically after the 7th tee and the 18th is a par 3. Other than the strange layout, the course was in decent shape, no real complaints other than a few greens with some dead or patchy areas(from the summer heat I imagine). Will play again.
