Rating 69.5
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.

Course was in pretty good shape
The course was in pretty good shape even though it rained the night before we played. Hole #9 could use some drainage work but all others played well.

Nice course but there are some pretty rough holes in the fairways.
Unusual arrangement in that the tenth hole doesn't start at the club house. You have to play through the twelfth before you get to the club house.
