Chesapeake Golf Club

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.

This course is not in very great shape. The greens are tremendously better than they were last year but still pretty awful. The golf carts all seem to have torn seats and the paths have awful potholes. The best part about the course was no one was playing so pace of play was great. This course could be a fun place to play but it needs a lot of love. My round was super cheap but not cheap enough. I cannot imagine paying full price. Maybe next year it will be better. My fingers are crossed.

A few weeks ago the greens were in terrible shape but the crew has worked hard and they are coming into shape. Should be a good summer.

That’s not an exaggeration btw. I wanna call it a beginner course but I wouldn’t even say that because it’s $40 a round and you can play courses for less in the vicinity in way better condition. Tee boxes, fairways and rough are just patchy grass. Then you get to the greens and there’s huge patches and holes. My ball didn’t roll smoothly on one putt. Just bounces at the hole which also makes for very very slow greens. Needs an insane amount of maintenance. I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone that I know mainly because the price should be half of what it is. Don’t get me wrong $40 is cheap for golf, but like I said before you can play courses 10x better in the area for less.

The greens are in terrible shape, probably decease due to all the lumps and missing spots. Hopefully it gets better soon because this course has potentials and the only place to play in our area. The finally changed the layout as hole 1 is now next to clubhouse were hole 12 use to be but signs haven't been updated yet, very confusing if it's your first time playing. I love playing here but I won't return until someone tell me it has improved.

The last time I played the course, it was absolutely horrible conditions have to give the maintenance crew a thumbs up things are starting to take place moving in the right direction. At least there is grass on the greens this time. Tee boxes were a little better as well.

They changed the position of the golf course holes to reflect different hole numbers, which is totally confusing. We were told to go off on the first hole, which was the old number one which now has a different denotation and when we got done with the old first nine and went to 10 there was six carts tying up so we didn’t get to play The rest of our 18 team. Weonly got nine holes in which is very disappointing and the scorecard do not reflect the new change even more confusing. Why would you change? The denotations of the holes is beyond me

I like the layout at Chesapeake GC. It has several challenging holes. But, the course has been very poorly maintained. The greens are in TERRIBLE shape. I hope they are able to improve the conditions of this course, it has the potential to be nice.

I frequently golf here. Staff is friendly and the course is maintained well. One of my favorites in the Hampton Roads area

Tee’d off behind 3 slow groups. Wasn’t able to play thru. Complained to the Marshall to get them to speed up the pace of play, didn’t happen and only saw him once. We were there for 5 hours and only played 14 holes before quitting.

The greens were in terrible shape. So much sand everywhere that you couldn’t putt, and had multiple chips onto the green just die immediately when it lands on the green. They also changed the layout and there’s no stopping after 9, just 7. Course is not worth the money or the time! Avoid this year!

It’s hard to watch another golf course die in Chesapeake. Especially one located in a city with a growing population and lack of competition from other golf courses.

Over the past five years I’ve noticed a change in the style of management at this facility. The current director of operations should have his employment contract terminated. Let someone who takes pride in their work assume the responsibility and bring back this course.

Excuse after excuse is what you hear from the current director of operations. Individuals that know the real story behind those excuses also know they’re lies.

To the new owners (an Ohio, LLC group) please wake up. Come visit and play the course. We’d be happy to join you and discuss what’s going on with your investment.

From the outside looking in, it appears the current director of operations has a bonus clause in his agreement. That’s the only reason why you wouldn’t spend sustaining capital on maintenance and upkeep of the facility.

What happened to the restaurant, bar, driving range, greens, bunkers, fairways, irrigation pumps and tee boxes? Why have so many longtime members not signed back up to play here? The answer is the same, management style of the current director of operations.

If you have to choose between playing at Chesapeake Golf Club or driving 45 minutes away with tolls and tunnels, take the ride and avoid Chesapeake Golf Club.

Yes, it was March 1 but the greens were filled with divots and holes and bumps like Mars surface

Have heard they’re just here for the money on the golf course and I can see that

Food they only had a little bit of food in the morning and by 1 o’clock they were out of food

Not enough employees to help and assist the front desk person

Just not a good experience, especially for $45 a person

I wish they would inform the player of the horrible greens. Definitely should’ve had a discounted rate to play here.

I mean what a course! Amazingly….. horrible. The fairways weren’t kept up. The sand traps were hard and the greens were well… absolutely horrible. The greens were riddled with divots and bare spots filled in with sand. So many putts were driven in a different direction by hitting some of these bad spots and I mean just awful. We also got there and there weren’t enough carts for the amount of bookings. And upon return the pro was outside managing the people coming in from play and the people waiting for carts to make sure everyone was eventually getting a cart and the carts weren’t in very good shape. The seats were torn and the cart we had was on half flat tires on one side. I played here some years ago and the course was in much better shape. There weren’t enough leaf piles on parts of the fairway and my buddy and I lost probably 6-8 balls in deep leaves on the fairway or in the rough just off of the fairway. The hounds team should take notes from all of the homeowners surrounding the course and learn to keep the grass better. Never again!

$50 round of golf to play on terrible greens and fairways covered in leaves that fell months ago. This place is not worth the money. Where does everyone’s green fees go toward?
