Ocean View Municipal Golf Course

First and foremost the staff here is beyond AWESOME very friendly and always helpful with questions and commendations. I only get to the area once or twice a year and play here atleast two rounds on each trip. The course is always in good conditions but like everything with nature involved has its plus and minuses. Looking forward to my next trip to VA and the OVGC.

Enjoy a early morning tee time great staff pretty decent course little rough green occasionally but nothing major overall 8/10

They lost the greens earlier this year so for weeks while the staff worked to fix them, they were rough. A few of the greens still have some issues but they are coming along. Sadly they are starting to get some crabgrass in a few which is a whole new battle. Fairways are very good as are the majority of tee boxes. For a heavily played course, they keep up with it as well as can be expected. We did get behind a 3-some that were very very slow and would not let our 3-some play through. If I was asked what improvement I’d like to see it would be to space the start times, perhaps alternating starting off 1 & 10 as well as have a marshall ride around and ensure pace is kept up. We have played here 5 or 6 times here this year (weekdays) and every time pace of play has been an issue.

They need to have a marshal go out at least once an hour. People hitting the ball about 75 yards, then repeat 4 times. Once on the green, they putt 6 times. Why bother???

Bad experience on this course. No practice area. The only practice area is a short wedge practice area. Hit your own ball and run to get it. The greens are absolutely... I have no words to describe their deplorable state. Good luck being happy with your shot on the green.

Was a good day of golf other than a bird going into our cart and stealing my Hot Dog

Practically no one in front and no one behind us. This was fantastic. Staff is great. Course layout is interesting. The greens and the fairways could be a little bietter. But for the money, you can’t beat it.

Hi the greens have improved since I was last here but round the pins they need trimming up very rough round the edges

Everything about this course is pretty good except the fact that the greens need a lot of improvements.

The putts do not have a true roll due to poor upkeep but, hey, at least the price is right.

Greens in very poor condition needs work to get right if it is course would be great

I live close to OVGC, so it's the most convenient to play. Also, it's usually one of the less expensive courses to play. I booked a tee time on what I knew was going to be one of the hottest days of the year. I pulled I to the parking lot to see maybe 10 cars. *Warning sign #1. I had prepaid through Teeoff.com, so I simply checked in at the desk. They informed me they are in the process of aerating/stripping the greens. *Warning sign #2. We played anyway. With nobody ahead of us, we played in less than 3 hours! However, the course was just terrible. The tee boxes are brown, dormant grass, and the fairway are rock hard. The greens were awful. We took a two-putt maximum! I understand course maintenance, but OVGC is really fallen off. I won't be playing here again anytime soon. And I nearly bought the "membership" this year! Glad I didn't.

Got behind a extremely slow threesome. Greens recently aerated and sanded, so putting was a challange.

Greens were horrible. Not aeration horrible but dirt with ground in sand and patches of grass.

Old school course with tree lined fairways. Tees, fairways and bunkers were in fair shape but the whole course was dry and hard. The worse greens I’ve probably ever played. Not much grass on the greens but plenty of weeds, sand, dirt and bumps. Putting was impossible. You had to be lucky to make a putt because the bumpy conditions caused balls to bounce all over the place. That’s no exaggeration. I played with family who live in Norfolk and they said the conditions have deteriorated in the past few years. The pro shop staff said the greens were slow to come out of dormancy this year. That may be so but I played Sewell Point (another local Norfolk course) a day later and their greens were pristine. Both courses have Bermuda grass.

The course has a 4 out of 5 rating not sure when they played the course. But right now the course is in the worst state that I have seen a course in. I understand stand the greens had been aerated. But even under the sand there were bare spots in the greens and the tee boxes looked like they have not moved them in years. The overall condition was very bad. The pace of play was very slow. I think because of the greens. Would not recommend this course to anyone.
