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.

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

Can see that they are attempting to improve the greens. Cups have not been moved in weeks so the grass is growing in and narrowing the size of the cups. Actually enjoy the layout, but there is lots of work to do before I would want to pay full price for a round. Sale price and convenience are what brought me here mostly. Staff is friendly and helpful.
There's a hidden potential here
This courses layout is spectacular, but man...those greens are in some of the worst conditions I've ever seen, and I've played at some bad places. Overall the course is good, I just have no clue what the deal is with those greens. And the turn is after hole 11, which blew my mind. The restaurant/bar staff were very friendly and accommodating, just those greens!
Practically unplayable Conditions
Sorry, but your greens were mostly dirt or sand with spots of grass. The golf cart you had us take was in terrible condition, torn seat, and the wheel literally fell off before we left the parking lot. The second cart did make it through the course... Time for a complete renovation if this course is going to continue to stay open!
Terrible greens
Shouldn’t be charging that much for how awful the greens were. At least notify us before charging.
Tight course and challenging!
If you’re looking for bit of a challenge, this course has it. It’s my home course, and I’ve had to play a few good rounds before I gave it a review. This is a course with a few tight fairways and some mean dog legs that go over water. Price wise is a stretch, so if you catch a good deal on GN it’s worth it!
Horrible Conditions
Played a couple days ago and those were the worst conditions I have ever seen. Should definitely shut the course down for a while. I would feel comfortable taking money with the greens in that shape.
Almost unplayable
The course used to be really good but recently the greens have been terrible. They rarely pick up the phone I wouldn’t waste the time or money
Greens are Horrible
Used to play here all the time but as of recent the greens are unplayable. Wouldn’t spend full price to play on greens like these.
Attention Needed
.I recently had the opportunity to play at this course for the first time, and I wanted to share some feedback regarding my experience.
First, I would like to commend the pro shop staff for their excellent service. They were friendly and helpful, which is always appreciated.
However, I did encounter several issues during my round. The condition of the golf carts was disappointing, and I found the fairways to be mediocre at best. Additionally, the rough around the fairways and greens appeared overgrown, which made play more challenging than expected.
I also noticed that many of the greens had minimal grass coverage, with significant areas of bare mud. One green, in particular, had so much sand that it resembled a bunker, which was quite unusual.
I believe the layout of the course has great potential, but the current state of playability detracted from the overall experience. I hope these concerns can be addressed in the future, as I would love to see the course back in top shape.
