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.

Somewhat challenging but lacks attention
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.
I'm so sorry that we missed the mark. We continue to make improvements daily. And hope you'll give us another try!!

Good course for the money!
Enjoyed the course with friends. Wasn’t too busy and was able to have a stress free round. Will be coming back!
Thank you so much for the 5 star rating!!!
Need a starter
1015 time didn’t start until 1050 a lot of singles that should have been paired up with a starter
I agree and we are working on getting one every weekend!
If they pay me, I'll play here again.
Whole course is overgrown, has invasive grass all over the place, weird mix of very hard holes and very easy holes, some fairways have over-hanging branches cutting off half the fairway, huge ponds on short holes where your drives would land forcing instead a short lay-up drive and long second shot, untrained staff couldn’t find TeeOff reservation on computer, cart paths are full of pot holes and run dangerously close to ponds, long walks to greens from cart paths, most greens are large and round and slightly sloped but some are really undulating and unfairly narrow and tiny, no 150 yard poles in fairway, bring a gas mask unless you like choking on gas fumes all day long from the cart, lots of street crossings and sometimes you don’t know where to go and sometimes you’re riding in the street with cars for a block to the next tee and through intersections.
I'm so sorry that we missed the mark. We continue to make improvements daily. And hope you'll give us another try!!

We have made a few changes with us putting a NEW Superintended in place.
But for the rest of the issues, (Ponds, long walks, greens sloping, crossing streets) You would of needed to talk to the brothers that built this in 1986. LOL.
And yes, we do have gas carts, they are better golf cart and last a lot longer.
I don't think it's fair to rate us with 2 stars due to 95% being about how the course was built.

Beautiful day. Beautiful course.
Checking in was a breeze. Course played great!
WAAAAY RIGHT
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
Narrow Fairways
The course itself was not bad. Very narrow. A lot of water hazards which I found challenging and fun. This is a one a done course for me.
Thank you for giving us a try, we hope that you'll try us again down the road!!
Chesapeake
Terrible range limited to 8i and under, I got there 45 prior to tee time and could not warm up because the ball dispenser was empty.
I'm so sorry that you had to deal with that, but I'm glad we made it up to you. We do only offer a small warm-up range only.
In the last 15 years, I wanted something that would let us warm-up instead of not having anything at all.

Not worth it, do not book a tee time here
I had to wait 30 minutes past my tee time due to the course didn’t have enough golf carts to issue out. There was literally a line waiting on people to finish so they could get a golf cart. The course needs to invest into buying more carts.
The pace of play was terrible. After waiting 30 minutes after my team you had to wait in line again at the 1st tee. The course booked tee times within 5 minutes of each other. I will not being going back to this course.

You are right, we need to buy more carts, and we are working on that. (16-24 months waiting) We also do turn the carts as soon as they come in. We run a 7 min tee times
I'm sorry that your round and time with us wasn't enjoyable and we hope you'll give us another try!!
Fun Layout
Great time. Pace was a little slow but it was prime time
Thank you so much for the 4 star rating!!!!
Amazing
My friends and I enjoyed the course! It was beautiful and we didn’t feel rushed

A bit disappointed
I played this course last fall with a friend. We found it challenging and at the same time, a bit on the rough side. Fairways weren't it great shape, which we chalked up to the time of year, and just coming off of summer. Also, like so many courses, trees have leaves that fall in the fall so it was easy to loss a ball if you were off to the side. The same friend and I were excited to come back thinking the work would be finished getting the course ready for the new year. The greens (90%) were very nice, unfortunately some golfers still don't get the idea of ball marks and fixing them, so there was some damage. There is also some type of weed that is growing in some of the greens. Tee boxes were great, but the fairways...... rough both on the edges and inside. Some real work needs to be done to get the fairways in shape..
I'm so sorry that we missed the mark. We continue to make improvements daily. And hope you'll give us another try!!
