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.

Nice course
This course has a couple risk reward holes. If you get off tee good you are tempted to challenge water hazards. We had a nice time. Some fairways are a little narrow for my errant shots.
Great Course
I've been playing this course for years now, it was in great condition and we had a good time
1st time in years
Single, with golf cart, played in under 3 hrs. Used bushnell gps for hole yardage. Several holes have water crossing fairway. No markers indicating distance to, or over water. Signs from hole #11 to #12 would help. Fairways & greens in good condition. friendly staff.
An enjoyable round.
The course was in good shape. the greens are much improved over last year. The pace of play was very good. An enjoyable round.
Favorite course
This course is probably my favorite in the area. Some pretty narrow fairways which does not bode well for my inconsistent drives, fast greens, well maintained bunkers and fairways. Overall just a good course to play.
Great course great price
Great course for the price. However be careful if it your first time out lots of hidden hazards and no hole descriptions on the score cards
Great greens
This course has a great layout. Tall trees that line the fairways that make for accurate driving. The greens have no ball marks and are very smooth and small in size. A great course to play and great value..
Typical conditions for winter golf.
This course looks like it has potential to be really good. I've only played it twice, and both times during the winter. So winter conditions exist; not much grass, most everything brown except the greens. The greens were recently aerated and fertilized, but it is the end of that process, so the greens should be back to normal within a week or so. And they are kept in good condition. They also started to aerate some fairways, so I assume they will do many or all of them over the next couple/few weeks. I'm looking forward to the course growing some grass and greening up. The course has 3 or 4 water holes that are tricky because you can't really see the water. They require good carries, or placement, or a lay up if your not a long hitter. You'll need some good instruction on these holes and a good GPS might help to figure out the best way to play them. I'd recommend giving this course a try, especially when things warm up and the conditions improve. .
Wet
It was extremely wet and muddy. My ball was plug several times in the middle of the fairway
Marshall/starter was rude
Course was ok but the marshall treated us with no respect and he was rude. I was not allowed to take any food or drink with me and there was no food or water on the course. He threatened me to take food/drinks off cart or I would be removed from course. I have never been so humiliated as a paying customer like this. Sure is a bad way to start a round of golf. I thought going golfing was suppose to be relaxing. I think he treated us like this because we were getting the golf now discounts.
John1582164,
The only person that knows what deal you get is myself. No other staff member has actesss to this information. I am sorry that you were treated like that.
When it comes to F & B on the course, Under law we can't allow anything unless it comes from the grill.
(That's from the Department of Health & ABC)
Let me say this, we don't own or operate the grill or the restaurant. (We just enforce the rules and laws) Because if they get in trouble, we don't have anything to offer our customers.
I'll be more then happy to talk with you at anytime. My phone number is 547-1122 or email me at charleslynnpga@yahoo.com
Good Greens
Here it is in Feb and the greens rolled like it was summer time. Tough and challenging course.
interesting
course is showing a little wear , but to be fair it is winter. Ask for directions before heading out. 9 does not bring you back to clubhouse, 14 leaves you 2 blocks away and you have to drive thru the neighborhood to find 15 and the clubhouse
Teed off at 10:30, done at 2:00.
I prepaid tee time and took confirmation into clubhouse with me. Staff was prompt, courteous, and very helpful. I had never played this course before and there are no pictures on the scorecard. Staff made sure that I had the proper directions.
Well kept course with very friendly staff
Nice course that is well kept. Greens were fast and well maintained. Some holes had water on the fairways but that was because of the rain the day before. Will golf this course again.
Quality Course, fun, good folks
Was a little wet from the rain but played in 3h15m, Greens are fast but still green, course is well kept overall. Driving range is short. Mostly straight holes - few dog legs.
This course was poorly laid out
First time playing this course,the course had several holes that were lined with houses with narrow fairways. Homeowners put up intimidating signs which read we will prosecute if you hit our house. The course crossed several major streets to play from hole to hole.
bakimble,
I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the course. I would love to have you back to try it again. The homeowners do put up signs (But under law they have no merit) I want you and every customer to feel comfortable while on our course. Please feel free to give me a call at 547-1122 or email me at charleslynnpga@yahoo.com
good value
first time playing this course. didn't know lay out. needed to have better yard makers for play. no map on card. crossed many street and sometime hard to follow. However, the course was nice to play for the value. the greens were fast. had an good time . would recommend .
Pleasant experience
First time playing this course. I was pleasantly surprised. The staff personnel were super nice. The course layout is a little confusing to first timers, as the path crosses a public street four times. But, if you appear lost, someone will courteously direct you. You can also be surprised by water hazards that cross the fairways at about 230 yds from the tee, (unfortunate for senior short drivers like me). But then, I could have played from the forward tees. I will play the course again later this week. I definitely recommend it.

Vernon3368648,
Please be our guest back out here. I'm sorry the course was so wet, We have put new drainage in around the fairways as greens. So we dry a lot faster then before. Give me a call at 547-1122 or email me at charleslynnpga@yahoo.com
