Ocean View Municipal Golf Course

I’ve played this course for several years and belong to the ladies league. Course is in great shape, even tho a couple bunkers have water, same as every course around here. It’s been a rainy season. Staff is great! Bob in the grill makes the best burgers. Pro shop has great prices and staff is welcoming and friendly. Loaner clubs are new and play well. Distances from tees are accurate and pace is good. Overall a great local course you will want to play again.

Founded in 1930, Ocean View is a staple in the HAMPTON Roads golf community..

Although the course has gone through changes in the last 20 years with it’s layout and, with development , there’s no longer an “Ocean view” , the course has something for everyone. From the back tee’s, the course plays less than 6000 yards, but the average player will use all the clubs in the bag.

Unlike “resort courses”, and other simple municipal courses, the player will be required to “work” the ball in a particular fashion.

Greens roll nicely

Bunkers can be a problem in that they can be hard pan., but, as they say, like the 2 big lakes on the property, , “don’t hit it there”.

There is no driving range to warm up and the clubhouse has no shower facility..

The grill is basic, but good.

The Club Professional, Andy Giles, is one of the most respected Pros in the area.

Green fees are under $30, and a good value for the quality of play.

Take a walk through history and the way golf began.

Played Ocean view many times. It’s a good municipal course. Nice layout, open enough for high handicappers, yet challenging enough for lower handicaps.

Tends to be slow especially on weekends, but overall a good course.

Greens are getting better each time I play. Some of the fairways need help.

Had a good time playing a round at Ocean View, course was in great shape and the pace was perfect. Beautiful weather made it even more enjoyable!

Both fairway and green are well maintained. It's firm and very fast! You can easily get 20-30 extra yards on your drivers.

It's a par70, with considerably short courses and nearly no rough at all. It would be a good course for intermediate players. Not recommended for beginners, especially for a driver shot, since the entire course is an open area.

Maybe dues to amount of rain recently, but found greens bumpy, and tees needed to be mowed. Fairways were very nice as were most of the traps.

A great day!

My neighbor and I played here twice so far this month (August). I's our first visit in just about 4 years. Both days were very hot and humid. The staff are friendly and check-in went smoothly. There are several tees to choose from so you can select a distance right for your handicap. The fairways are in fine shape. The greens had been aerated and sanded a bit ago and were still a bit bumpy but otherwise in good condition. The course is surrounded by huge old growth oaks so there is plenty of shade available. There are several "fun" holes - i'll let you discover them. There are an abundant number of bunkers and water throughout the course. Also an abundance of geese. Pace of play both times was good.

I really like this little course challenging but not a round killer. Greens was in good shape rolling very well hot a couple nice long putts. Staff is always friendly and helpful . This is my go to course when I'm on vacation in the Hampton Road area . Fairways was soggy but the amount of rain the area has had that can be expected. I will play there every chance I get.

Staff was friendly and courteous. Despite the heat, greens were in good condition........from someone who has worked 10 yrs on a 36 hole golf course.

Slow play, had to wait on every back 9 hole. Staff could have been more friendly and informative. It seemed as if they didn’t know you you got less attention.
