When Hell's Point Golf Club opened in 1982, Golf Digest called it one of the best new courses and it was ranked as one of the 100 best-designed courses in the country. Renowned architect Rees Jones designed the course. He incorporated the many natural features provided by the golf course's location in the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The fairways are edged with saltwater marshes and Jones included his signature sculpted bunkers along the greensides. Just a stone's throw from the ocean, the golf course is as scenic as it is challenging. The second hole is one of southeastern Virginia's toughest golf holes with out-of-bounds to the left, trees to the right, and a sloped fairway that leads to a well guarded, double-tiered green. This par 4 is the no. 1 handicap hole at When Hell's Point Golf Club.

Fun course. Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. The only criticism is some of the Tee boxes needed some TLC.

Close to the Beach

We were staying in Sandbridge Virginia. It took about 15 or so minutes to get there from the beach. So super close. Everything about the course was pretty quaint. The tea boxes needed a lot of work and we’re in pretty bad shape. The greens and the fairways were nice. The water was always in play. There were a couple holes where there was a high risk high reward opportunities, which I enjoyed outside of the tea box. Everything was pretty good.

Fairway Conditions

The fairways are in fair to good condition. Although they are watering fairways the ground is very hard and they cut the grass very tight. The one advantage is you get a great roll if you are in the fairway. They do have a quirky rule. You have to carry your clubs from your car to the clubhouse and you can’t take the cart to the range if you want to warm up.

There are no rangers on the course to speed up play and the group ahead of us took 20 minutes on the first hole making it very frustrating.

The course is the closest to Sandbridge where we were staying making it a convenient choice.

Nothing Good About This Course Anymore

The driving range and tee boxes are sandy and destroyed. There is little to no food offered in the clubhouse. Good luck finding the next hole, this course is a maze in the woods.

Not recommend

We were going golfing in Virginia Beach for our first time here, I understand golf etiquette but was not to happy when I showed up and had to buy a $56 dollar shirt with a collar when I had a very respectable T shirt on, they probably could have let it slide being that the courts was not very well kept, we will not be going back.

Good Course, crazy rules

I was stunned when I paid and went to get my cart to then get my clubs from my truck. I was told I could not use the cart to get my clubs, I had to bring them to the cart. after i did that I wanted to drive to the putting green but was told I had to walk I could not use the cart. After finishing the round, I was permitted to use the cart to return my clubs to my truck. This was kind of a bad start to what turned out to be a good round of golf.

Cheap price, but narrow and challenging

Don’t bring any expensive golf balls, this course is narrow and has little room for error. Employees are nice but owners have earned a bad reputation. If you can catch a tee time for under $25 it’s decent. Otherwise spend money else

Course was pretty good but the the staff smh.

I interacted with three staff members between the checkin and cart barn. Two of them were less than friendly. The third was what you should expect but nothing more. The driving range, practice green and course were what you should expect this time of year. The greens were pretty smooth and somewhat fast. Pin placement was challenging. The fairways are coming in nicely. The overall play was challenging and fun once you get onto the course and away from staff.
