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.

Green on the back nine. Pretty representative of a fair number of greens. Photo submitted by marcpeot on 06/09/2024

Still needs some work on the greens
The course is in decent shape but the greens are still pitted
Getting better everyday
Course is improving as the summer comes. Greens are still a bit rough but overall a good place to play
Do not play here
This course is officially a goat ranch. Tees times do not exist and there is no adult supervision. I was hoping to have at least one favorable thing to say about the course, but I cannot think of one other than location. Tee boxes are bad, Fairways are bad. Greens, traps, rough, layout, cart paths, pace of play, practice facilities -all well below average.
Still needs work
The overall course is nice, and has some challenging holes making the experience good.
The greens are not yet up to par with patchy spots affecting putts. Will still be back to play
Improvement ongoing
The course has come a long way since the greens were destroyed by inexperienced maintenence staff last year.. This is what I was told. They sanded arerated , fertilized seeded so they are trying . Rearranged the holes .New owners I'm to told. Still has a ways to go. I like because it not as busy as others most of the time.
Neglected
Course was in horrible shape. Greens have bad spots all over them. Fairways hadn’t been cut in several days to maybe weeks. Bunkers are all hardpan. Used to play this course all the time 15 years ago and it was always in top shape. Just seems completely neglected right now.
