Not worth playing

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.

A grand old course

Been playing this course for 30+ years. Not the most difficult course but can reach out and bite on occasion. Like many courses, the sand traps are in most cases hard packed sand and generally, a loft or pitching wedge is a better choice. Greens were just being prepared for the season so they are difficult. I will give it a month before playing there again.

It’s a popular course so it can get backed up keeping you waiting at the tee box 5-6 minutes each. I wish they had a marshal spreading out golfers switching starts from 1st tee and 10th.

The staff - #1!

Lousy excuse for greens.

I've enjoyed playing OV in the past, but I'm not going back. The greens are the worst I've ever played. The greens, and I mean every green, contained a combination of bare dirt and tufts of grass scattered about. This was aeration with sand. This was an epic failure of greenskeeping.

No Ocean. No View.

Beware! Having travelled from Toronto, we thought a cheap first game to get us warmed up would be a good place to start. Staying in Williamsburg, the drive was 50 mins (going home because of the tunnel traffic was as over 90 mins!). The course was in rough shape ... old carts with torn seats ... rough putting green covered with lots of tree debris .. bellied/sandy tee boxes with little grass ... with zero "views" and zero "Ocean Views". Even with back-to-back birdies on 16 and 17 it's the last time we make the drive the Norfolk to play this course.

Golf with Son

Got to the course right after noon and the condition of the course was in very bad shape. Grass was missing on the tee boxes, fairway and the grass on the greens was so short that the ball moved like lightning. Very disappointed with round of golf.

Spend money elsewhere

They were happy to take our money for a tee time, but wouldn’t refund when they closed on a sunny Friday. Greens are also terrible - $5 course at best

OV Regular

Love playing this course because it’s fun and quick. The staff is very friendly except for one really old man in the pro shop who almost immediately ruins your day upon check in with his negative attitude about EVERYTHING under the sun. OV Golf Course could be considered a “good ole boys” course, but once you get passed all the stupidity of check in and out on the course, it’s a fun time.
