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.

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!!

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..

Decent Course

The course itself is not bad. Plays pretty quickly. Pace seems to be an issue sometimes. Seems like groups don’t know how to let singles play through. Greens weren’t terrible but def not the best.

Slowest pace of play in the world

Conditions were good no complaints there. The absolute slowest pace of play I have ever seen. Left after 12 holes because I couldn’t stand waiting at least 10-15mins on ever single tee box.
