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.

Good challenging course. Very tight fairways. Greens are in great shape. Tee boxes are really bad, pure sand, no grass. . I haven’t played here in over five years, i figured it improved but it hasn’t. Sod is cheap, sod tee boxes.

This is $20 course, not a $50 course.

First Time Playing

Weird Rules, Uninviting Staff, and Poor Course Conditions

This was my first time playing at this course, and it will be my last.

First, the staff was very uninviting as if they were annoyed that we came to play at their golf course. The club house was decent but the bathrooms were not clean.

Prior to the round, they had a bunch of odd rules like:

We couldn’t take the cart to the car to grab our clubs.

We couldn’t take the cart to the range.

They wouldn’t allow us to have the key to the cart until we were heading to the first tee box.

I tend to give some leniency since it was winter golf, but there was no excuse for the conditions of the course. The tee boxes and range were both horrendous. The cart path was often eroded when it wasn’t new pavement. The fairways and greens were just okay. The layout of some the holes were decent, but that’s about all this course had going for it.

Overall, this course does nothing right to make someone want to come back. Luckily, we had a heavily discounted round thanks to GolfNow. I do not recommend playing this course.

Ownership sucks

Someone needs to start some sort of petition to get this course sold. The owner is a clown. The management of the course is awful, which is by design in my opinion. Insane what it costs to play this course given how much of a toilet bowl it is. I cannot emphasize this enough: this is the worst run golf course I have ever seen in my entire life of caddying and playing golf. Change the ownership. It is a clown show there.

Course Peaking

Tee boxes have some troublesome areas...other than that fairways and greens in great shape. Narrow couple holes off the box so keep them straight. Greens a little slow for my liking but were looking nice.

This place is a dump

$50 and none of that money is making it to the course. Terrible upkeep and terrible management. It’s a shame, this place used to be really nice.

Birthday round

It was very wet from a heavy rain the night before. Cart path only is hard on me because of my hip but it wasn’t hateful. The people at the course were very friendly and enjoyable to talk with.I will definitely play here again!

Needs some TLC

Good course, but greens are very slow and tee boxes are embarassing. Very little grass on the tee boxes with mostly sandy dirt. Pace was slow with 2-3 groups on the hole most of the day.

Tee boxes are a pathetic mess

Several tee boxes are a complete disaster. No grass what so ever on the tee box. Mid as well be a flat sand trap that you tee off from. I don’t understand why there would be no effort to fix and grow new Bermuda grass in the tee boxes from year to year. Pretty sad excuse for any agronomy professional who works here.

Tee box had very little grass. Has a 6some infront of us that slowed the pace of play. After 5 holes the Ranger split the group up!
