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.

Disappointed

My father and I have been playing this course for a while now and have enjoyed the value and conditions of this course.

This last golf outing with my father was very disappointing due to the fact that it appeared to us that there has been no care put into the maintenance of the course and the great conditions that one would expect having played this course over the past few years are no longer to be expected. That said.

Over the past few years I’ve noticed a steady decline in the upkeep and have found that we won’t be returning anytime soon!

Sad to see such a nice course and layout go to the crapper!

If you’ve made improvements that would change my mind about coming back, you should reimburse me for the green fees that we payed expecting normal conditions this last time I played there. It was very disappointing to find the conditions of the golf course below average, for having played here for years and always talking this club up about condition for the money. Not so anymore, I feel taken advantage of!

That was not the case, conditions were very lackluster!

Overall Good Course

Not a bad course for the money. The greens need to love, especially the 18th. Some of the tee boxes Dist have the tee markers out so that was confusing. But not a bad place to play on a rainy Saturday.

Course needs some attention

Every hole layout was tee, rough (ankle high), green. There was no fairway anywhere on this course. I did enjoy the layout and area of the course. Once it gets some love I'll definitely come play it again!

Challenging course

This isn’t the easiest course as there are several holes where you must lay up to carry water hazards, but that’s what I like about it.

Nice course, great staff

To be honest, the only thing I would change is the route of holes. The course itself is great, but to you have to go around your elbow a few tome to get to the next hole. Other than that, it was a great experience. Staffing went out of way to help and very personable.

Terrible

You offered tee times when the front nine was closed for an outing. We almost had to leave and the round took 6 hours. Never use Golfnow again.
