Chesapeake Golf Club

This isn’t the easiest course as there are several holes where you must lay up to carry water hazards, but that’s what I like about it.

I would totally recommend this course to someone trying to improve your game!

To be honest, the only thing I would change is the route of holes. The course itself is great, but to you have to go around your elbow a few tome to get to the next hole. Other than that, it was a great experience. Staffing went out of way to help and very personable.

You offered tee times when the front nine was closed for an outing. We almost had to leave and the round took 6 hours. Never use Golfnow again.

The weather was great. The course is getting ready for the season. Sand on the greens ,aeration plugs ,A qlot of puddled grass for all the rain we have had. But you have to expect that this time of year. I like the course good lay out , not overly busy compared to a few others in the area.

The staff in the club house was rude

No starter which allowed a group of 6 players to tee off and no marshal on the course

Greens were horrible

The whole course was in bad shape

Well, showed up excited to play a course I’ve never experienced. Started off bad. The driving range grass is worse than my back yard in January and doesn’t allow woods to be used since it’s only 170yds. Chipping and putting area was pretty decent though. Showed up at the tee box at 1040 for a 1052 tee time. There were 6 groups waiting to tee off and no starter orchestrating this disaster. Finally teed off at 1125. Continued to wait 15 minutes or more at nearly every hole. The course layout was actually pretty challenging but fairways were poorly maintained. Greens were average. The worst part of the round occurred on #9 when an irate golfer from the group playing behind me pulled up to the tee box as I was waiting (again) to tee off. He jumped out of his cart screaming obscenities at me. I tried to calm him down but he wouldn’t let it go and eventually his entire group ended up on the ground at the tee box wrestling my driver away from him which he had grabbed off the ground and was attempting to break over his knee. Eventually they got him in the cart and took him home. The entire altercation lasted 20 minutes and I ended up finishing the round after 5.5hrs. During that time not one marshall showed up to check on things. Worst golf experience of my 20 years playing.

While the course is located in a nice area of town and surrounded by an expensive neighborhood, the facilities are extremely disappointing. To start, the actual condition of the course is not worth the $40 I paid to play. It may be the end of November, but the fairways were no better than a course you could play at half the price such as Kempsville or Ocean View. Cart paths were atrocious. The greens are a redeeming factor…for now. This was my second time playing the course and the greens had been improved, but you could tell that they aren’t taken care of. The many small patches of weeds will likely become large patches. Also, no one repairs divots at this course and the super doesn’t take it upon himself either. Tons of dead spots on the greens. The layout is average, a few interesting holes with water or early dog legs, but still nothing you couldn’t get for cheaper elsewhere. Off course facilities are worse than on course. Take my advice, use the bathroom before you leave home because the bathrooms in the club house haven’t been cleaned in months. Also, you don’t return to the club house after 9 so be sure to use the portable toilet on 7. And if you are expecting a beverage cart, be on the lookout for a regular cart with a cooler in the passenger seat. Suffice it to say, this course is not worth your time and money if you are closer to VB or Norfolk courses like I am. And even if you are in Chesapeake, I’d drive a little further to Battlefield. Sure, their off course facilities are modest at best, but their prices reflect it and the course quality itself makes up for the weekend rate. I will say, I’be played Chesapeake’s sister courses (Honeybee and Stumpy Lake) and the quality of their facilities are much higher. Still pricey for what it is? Yes. But better than Chesapeake by far.

I enjoyed plaiying this course and was very reasonably priced.

I live within 5 minutes of this course and have played it 3 - 4 times over the past 2 years. Frankly, each time it seems in worse shape. One can tell that at one point the grasses were very nice. Now, in both the fairways and greens there is crabgrass and other spiney grasses that, especially on the greens, affects play. And sadly, the quality of those playing the course is also eroding. Many fairways are loaded with big divots and greens are plagued with un-repaired ball marks. I didn't enter the grill so can't comment on it.
