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 course
I played this course again this past week and it is looking great. Greens are green, smooth, and fast. Tee boxes are cut low, and the fairways are coming out of their "winter slumber". Rates are very reasonable, and the Associate Membership is a fantastic deal. There are lots of great courses in Hampton Roads, and I like playing many of them, but I always come back to my "home course".
Not What I Expected
After reading all the positive reviews I was disappointed in course conditions, I know it's the shoulder season but even for this season the greens, tees and fairways were in poor condition. The LOUD barking dogs on several holes were extremely annoying. I know the course can't do anything about them, so just beware if you play here. On course porta-pots were gross and you don't get back to the clubhouse until hole 12 or 13 to use a clean rest room. My wife says "women beware".
This course has great features
We were down here for vacation and it's off-season. The course was beautiful. The weather was perfect. It gave us a challenge, especially with the water and sand traps. The staff was incredibly friendly. We liked it enough to come back again and get another round in before we leave for home. I can only imagine how pretty this course will be when it's the prime time season! Definitely recommend.
Good Deal
I didn't play my best, by far. Enjoyed the round anyway.
Great Value
This is a great course for the money. Greens are in pretty bad shape right now but other than that I have no complaints
Great Day for Golf
Played Chesapeake on a NICE Febuary day. Staff very friendly.. Course is in good shape considering all the rain we have had. Greens are in good shape,, looks like they had a couple of issues on a couple of greens that they are resolving, esp #2 Still greens in good shape. Received shots well and had to fix ball marks when I hit the greens. Course has all types of holes, long holes, short holes, even a par four you have to tee off with an iron unless you can carry 225 over water.. Played course many years ago and course had issues. Management has done a great job with this course. Keep up the good work, can't wait to play on a dry day.
The Jewel of Chesapeake
This is a challenging course (lots of water), but laid out well. My husband and I enjoy playing 18 followed by lunch in their excellent snack bar. I've recommended Chesapeake Golf Club to friends. The staff are friendly and the facilities are great.
FIRST TIME WILL BE BACK NICE COURSE EVEN FOR WINTER CONDITIONS
Golf last week of November!
Had a fun day...........!
Friendly, Wonderful Course
Everyone at the course was most accommodating there was a very friendly feel among the players as well as staff. Women were welcome and the men were courteous. I would definitely recommend this wonderful course. It is a little challenging without taking the fun out of it :)
Chesapeake
I play this course often and I will play again. It can be challenging
Good course
This is a good short course, that is challenging because of the post stamp greens, I would recommend it to anyone and I'll be back
A great challenge for a great price.
I've played this course many times and find it challenging without being too overwhelming. The layout is well done and the conditions are always above par.
Love the layout
I've played Chesapeake Golf Course many times over the years, and keep coming back. It's a very unique layout that makes you give a lot of thought to your strategy for each hole. Don't plan on walking up to each tee box and automatically reaching for your driver. Driving accuracy takes a strong premium over distance. There are some narrow fairways, and challenging water locations. You will always need to be very conscious of where you want (and don't want) to take your next shot!
Course conditions can vary. Right now the fairways are in really good shape but some parts of the greens are struggling a bit. The course pace of play can also vary a lot, but this weekend I went out at 11am and played in just under four hours, but it can slow down a lot on some days.
The course is a great value for the money, and I will always play it at least several times each season. If you haven't played here yet, give it a try.
Average course
Greens were pretty bad, fairways needed cutting and t boxes needed work.

Rodney,
First off, I'm sorry about the greens and not being happy about the overall conditions of the course.
Just like every other golf course around, we to, have had a hard time with all the heat.
I completely agree, we have 3 greens that are over heated due to this weather, we didn't want to cut the fairways nor the tee boxes to short because of it as well.
We will be punching the greens this Monday 8-29-16 to get a better air flow for the greens. We have always had the best greens in the area, I would love for you to come back out and try us again, on me.
Please feel free to email me at charleslynnpga@yahoo.com or give me a call on my cell at 804-436-6483
Thank you for being our customer!!!
