8th IGood value

Considering it is early February the course was in pretty good shape. The fairways are thin and work needs to be done to get them into better playing condition. The greens are very good and carry good speed. The tees are a little rough but they are being worked on. The sand bunkers (those with sand) are generally in good playing condition and progress is being made to bring them all into conformance. Overall, satisfied with the experience.

Great condition for winter golf

While most other muni courses in the area are struggling with greens management Ocean View GC has managed to keep the greens in excellent condition at this time in February. They had a crew out working hard to control weeds and general grounds keeping.

Pace of play was a little slow since it was a balmy 72 degrees in Va Beach. A little over 4 hours to complete 18 with cart.

I have played this course about a dozen times and the course layout is nice. Only a few holes have houses to be concerned with. A few tight lies, but overall a pretty forgiving course.

I'll definitely be back again.

Great Round

Barring the 51 degree 15 mph winds Ocean View Golf Course proved to be just what the doctor ordered, a great round of golf. The greens were in great shape although the edges around the cups were in need of a little attention.

You'll also enjoy some of the homemade soups offered in the restaurant.

Decent course for the cost.

Greens are in great shape and have decent speed. Bunkers are in poor condition, and fairways are average. Tee boxes have seen a lot of play and could use some work.

The course is worth playing for the price point.

Course was in excellent condition! Greens were a little on the slow side but not patchy and rolled true. Layout is fun and moderately challenging. Really good value through GolfNow

Overbooked as usual

They had a tournament that day, and GolfNow or Oceanview or both overbooked as usual. We skipped over about 6 holes and left early as there was no way we were going to finish our round before dark. I wish GolfNow would let you know about tournaments before you book.

Great price… great time

Course was in good shape and the staff was friendly. Fun course. Only negative was people weren’t grouped together so you would have a single, pair, and pair and it was a battle of waiting each hole. Just combine people and do that way is my opinion.
