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.

Great Value
Course is awesome and staff are friendly as well.
For the money, you can’t find a better course to play. Greens are always in decent shapes for challenging.
I love this course!
Huge Disappointment, Left Early
I only give reviews to warn people of places to avoid. The course itself is ok, but after watching 3 groups leave after making to whole 14 in 4 hours, that tells me there’s some management issues. Staff doesn’t seem too concerned either so I wanted to at least warn people. If you’ve got 6.5 hours to play an average close it’s nice if you can catch a GolfNow deal for $20. And they were late starting us off after setting up a tee time a day in advance
Samuel,
I know we have already spoke, but again I'm sorry about everything!!
Wilson
I arrived 20 mins early to my 10:01 AM tee time. I was in informed by the cashier that I would be paired up with “a guy” who had already arrived. Not a problem, as I was by myself and it was a busy Saturday. The manager, who was making rude gestures and faces to a customer on the phone, yells for someone in the back. A kid comes out from behind the counter to drive me to “the guy” who already had a golf cart. Kid asks, “do you need to get anything?”. I reply “my clubs from my car”. He tells me to “walk to your car and grab whatever you need and I’ll meet you there” I replied “ok....” He meets me at my car and says “you can hold on to your clubs or put them in the back.” Bizarre thing to say, and for for a second time I say “ok.....”. We drive to the first hole with no “guy” around and the kid says “ok here you are!” I said “where is the guy I’m partnered with?” He says “I don’t know I didn’t get a look at the person I’m just driving you out here. Probably the guy at the driving range.” I look and there was a guy hitting golf balls 100ft away. I said “are you guessing or is that the stranger I’m paired up with?” Kid says “hey man Im just guessing.” For the third and final time in 3mins I said “ok......” I get out of the golf cart and grab my clubs and say, “can I just get a cart to drive I don’t even know if this is “the guy”.” He says, “No we don’t want a bunch of singles running around the course”. I asked ,“do you at least know his name?” Kid looks at my box of Wilson Golf balls in my hand and says “Wilson”. I locked eyes with him, looked at my golf balls and back at him and repeated “Wilson”. Kid drives away. I looked out at “the guy” contemplated walking up to him while he’s hitting at the range and saying “I’m paired up with you” with no introduction from staff AT ALL....then walked to my car put my clubs back in my trunk and drove off. Horribly unprofessional staff all the way around. Thought about arguing with management but decided i wouldn’t get very far based off my first encounter with the manager and it wasn’t worth my effort or time. Just wanted a relaxing few hours to play golf on a beautiful day. Not so much.....

What happened?
This used to be a favorite course of mine 8-10 years ago. I was in the area and decided to play a round with two others. We had a 7am tee time on a Saturday morning and the place was a ghost town. At the end of our round there were maybe a dozen cars in the parking lot. The “fairways” didn’t appear to have been mowed in days, it felt like you were hitting from the rough on every shot. I do have to give them credit for the condition of the greens, they were some of the nicest in Hampton Roads on a muni course.
Mr. Lauderman,
I'm sorry your round wasn't as enjoyable as it should of been, we work hard to have a great course and I'm sorry that it wasn't up to the standards.
Please give us another try in the spring on me! If you need anything please feel free to email me at

Good Course
Chesapeake golf club is looking really good. The staff is doing an amazing job on this course. Thank you for all the hard work
Tee boxes are looking way better now then a few months back. Fairways are also looking good. You can see a clear line between fairway and rough. Greens are rolling nice. There still issues with people not fixing there divots. It doesnt take much time people. Fix your ball marks
Thank you so much!! We are working hard to improve everyday!
Good Course
Course was in great shape after all the rain. The staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely play again.
Sgtrhoads,
Thank you so much for the great rating! Can't wait to have you back again!
u813805026,
Thank you for a 4-Star rating!!!
Robert, Thank You for the 4-STARS!!
Very good course
Played this course with a friend on the 4th of July weekend. The course was busy but play was steady. The course was in great shape. We played the round in under 4 hours. This course has several holes with water that you may need to lay up, depending on your skill level. We will be back.
u598521243,
Thank You for the great 5-stars! I'm glad you enjoyed the day!
Good price / Great Value.
First time playing in VA Beach area. It was a very enjoyable round. The course was in much better shape than what I’m used to and for less $. IMHO , the greens couldn’t be any better. I would definitely return to play again when I’m in the area.
Paul,
Thank you for the kind words and great rating. We hope to see you again, when you are back in town
Great Shape and Experience
It has been a few years since I played this course but it is in great condition currently. They have clearly put time and money into this course and it shows. It’s a fun course with some easy birdie opportunities and some other challenging holes so a nice mix. The staff was very friendly and I would definitely recommend for anyone playing in the area.
U000006643661,
Thank you for noticing how hard we have worked over the years to bring this gem back to life! Can't wait to have you back out soon!

Thank You for the outstanding 5 Stars!!
Not bad
In pretty good condition right now....good time of the year to play it.
Thank You for the 4-Stars!!!
Great Course
Course was in great shape. Fairway were in good shape and the rough well maintained. Greens were very good. Ball rolled well on the green. I will play again. Great course for anyone to play.
dmp, Thank You for the GREAT RATING!!!!
Great Round Today
I haven’t played this course in probably 10 years, simply because it’s not very convenient for where I live. I was looking for a change of scenery, and GolfNow had a good rate so I gave it a shot. I was very impressed with the course. It wasn’t crowded at all, and the course was in great shape- probably the smoothest greens I’ve played in a while. I’d highly recommend it!
Michael,
Thank You for giving us a chance! And thank you for the rate rating! Hoping we will have you back soon
Great Condition
The fairways were filled in nicely with fresh Bermuda. They will get more plush as the time passes. But the greens were perfect. They rolled true, not bumpy. Medium speed.
Vitamind,
Thank you for the kind comment and great rating! Hoping we will see you soon
Great Conditions
Course was in great shape. It's refreshing to see a course repainting markers, getting sandtraps ready, etc. Amazing how many nice days on some courses you see no workers and the course in need of repairs.
u308977107,
Thank you!! We always want our family/Customers to see that we do our best day in and day out to make their round enjoyable. Looking for to seeing you on the first tee soon
Meh but liked the course layout signs!
GEESE fighting course... Geese feces & Geese throughout the ENTIRE course, range not manicured most greens not cleaned up either, cart path Horrible, porta-potty's for bathrooms that REEKED, YUCK! Don't go after a day of rain - water logged completely! 1st & LAST visit here especially the amount of grease feces - KEEP hand sanitizer! Definitely only a 1.5 star at Best!!
Twath009,
Give us a call and lets take that 1.5/2.0 Star to a 4/5 rating! Give us another try and then let us know! What do you have to lose? Email me at charleslynnpga@yahoo.com
Money worth and chalenging feeling
First time came here. Nice course. Very well maintained greens.
The layout is somehow challenging.
Fantastic weather. I had a wonderful afternoon here.
The staff is friendly. At the beginning I was asked to join threesome group. But I was called to start my shot alone in the end.
Frank,
Thank You for the great words and the outstanding rating!
