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.

1st time
Great course, fairways are tightly lined with homes but still a great course to play.
Cart path rough on the back
Course is decent. The pace was extremely too slow.
Best course for the money
Course is a challenge with water on some holes, despite bad weather conditions during the year course was in good shape. Greens held and putted true and fast. Highly recommend it.
Chesapeake GC
Not bad for my first time in 2014. Played two more times for a total of three last year. Will go back.
Great way to burn off holiday extra calories!
Course was damp after several days of rain but overall was in great shape for early winter. Course is challenging without being punishing. Would go back tomorrow!
good course needs work
I have played here quite a few times. The only bad thing is the cart paths really need to be fixed. The holes and ruts are really bad on the kidneys. The greens are kept in nice condition. The fairways need some TLC but are not bad. The value is average for the money.
Great Hometown Course
This course is always a great time. This round was a little slow due to two other groups in front of us holding things up, but the weather was beautiful so it's not even a complaint. The staff here is excellent and we'll be back.
Potential
This course is difficult and has the potential to once again be a gem. However, the overall conditions at this time are lacking. While for the most part the greens putt true, the tee boxes and parts of the fairways are in rough shape.
Nice layout
Chesapeake Golf Course is one of the nicest golf courses for your money! I have played about all the courses in the Hampton Roads area and have played some high dollar courses that pale in comparison to Chesapeake.
You won't regret playing here!
Quiet on Friday afternoon.
This course is well maintained. I played solo on a Friday afternoon, and had a great rate of play. Polite staff. Overall nice course with a few challenging surprises. This course is located in a highly populated neighborhood, so use caution. Close proximity to homes, cars, people and pets.
I highly recommend giving this course a try.
Yardage not well posted
There are hardly any yardage on the course except markers on the cart path. The tee box yards are diiferent than the score cards. Many blind water hazards without yardage signs to the hazard. Suited for repeat players, definitely not for first timers.
Vince8384229,
I'm sorry that the course was poorly marked, We have fixed all of that. Please be our guest next time you would like to come out.
Give me a call at 547-1122 or email me at charleslynnpga@yahoo.com
Nice Local Neighborhood Course
Used as a practice course with challenging shot selections on many holes. Staff friendly and main golf surfaces kept well. Stay centered for best time and watch out for the water...try the lay up and long approach once in a while. Sometimes funner to run or fly the ball up to the green from 175-220.
great course great staff
need to control the poison ivy a little bit better
Scout
No signs ,markers at tee box to indicate distance to or carry water hazards. No mention on score card either. Would be very helpful.
Great course. Great value
I love playing Chesapeake. If you don't mind playing around houses you'll love this course. Almost every hole has some kind of risk reward decision to make. For example, the 4th hole has a 150 yard layup to water or a 230 water carry off the tee. Two holes later a demanding tee shot to set up a long water carry on a par 5.
This course used to be in fairly poor repair but in the past few years it has been great. The greens were perfect. The rough hang overly punishing and the fairways are a little firm but the grass is consistent.
Course features
Fair price and greens are perfect. Course is little burned out in fairways would recommend for mid to high handicapper
best value in south hampton roads
This course was in good shape earlier in the year and is now in excellent shape. They do have one bunker on the back nine that is under repair. Otherwise perfect. On a weekday morning at 10:30 we played and never saw anyone in front of us.
Good course good value
Course was in good shape. Greens were a little slow but rolled great.
Great Course For The Money
Best value in the area. Fairways are thick, greens putt true and hold. You can't beat it for the money, the course, the staff are friendly, courteous and appreciate your business.
Great Shape
Hadn't played this course in a while. My son and I like the conditions so well we went and played it again the following week. Greens were a 13 the first week and 12 the next. Excellent!
uCXDO1834CX,
