About
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.

Golfer Reviews
Course Consition
Course conditions are horrible including green and still costs just as much as any nice course in Va Beach.
Should Have Read Other Reviews
Course was in horrible shape. Weeds and random holes in the greens. Numerous tee boxes were bald and had no grass. The bunkers were average at best with no rakes in them so you could rake them afterwards. The gentleman in the pro shop was not very friendly, and the staff working the cart area was super friendly. We had a tee time at 10:51 and was informed that a “diamond member” showed up and can do what they want and jumped in front of our time…what are we playing at pine valley?? Anyway time was only $49 which barely made it worth it. The course, if it was taken care of it has some good bones especially been a Rees Jones design and could be a top notch place if some trees were cut down to let the sun get on the tee boxes and they used some pre emergent herbicide.
Bad conditioning
Course has a great layout but the potential is wasted by the poor maintenance, unkempt tee boxes, fairways, greens.
Some tee boxes are like teeing off from the rough and the greens were very slow.
Do not go here!!
Tried to go play a round here with my 9 year old son. The GM was watching the lobby and called his employee after I paid and told his employee he did not believe my son was 9. I showed a picture of the birth of my son with a time stamp to the employee and the employee said we were good to go. As I was getting my cart, the GM , called the cart guy and told him to not let me get the cart and that he was coming to the course. I immediately went and got my money back. As I was wrapping that up the GM showed up to the course and came behind the counter. I told the GM I had showed proof of age, the GM proceeded to talk to my son and not address me. Asked my son his name, his grade, and then told my son he was lying and told him he was in kindergarten. Complete disrespect. This guy is coo coo for Coacoa puffs. Don’t waste your money here!
A poorly Maintained course
Course was in terrible shape tee times too close together and waited.....did not play the 18 and quit after 9 Bad time
Don’t waste your money
⭐☆☆☆☆ Disappointing Experience at H’lls Point Golf Course
I strongly discourage anyone staying in Sandbridge from spending their time and money at H Point Golf Course. The course was in terrible condition from tee to green. Many of the bunkers were filled with standing water, making them virtually unplayable. Ironically, there seemed to be more sand on the tee boxes than in some of the bunkers.
To make matters worse, the restaurant had already run out of hot dogs by noon on a Sunday in August, which is arguably one of the busiest times of the year. That speaks volumes about the level of preparation and management.
Overall, the course is in very poor shape and does not provide the quality experience golfers expect, especially when there are several better golf options in the area. If you're visiting Sandbridge and looking to play a round, I'd recommend taking your business elsewhere.
Horrible Experience
What a mistake! First they did not tell us it was front 9 only. They allowed us to book 18 holes at 4:06. When we checked in the kid running the pro shop was also running the snack-bar. He was struggling to keep up.
We totally understand that this year it has been exceptionally wet and if they needed to close the back, it is what it is. However with that being said ALL of the bunkers were standing water which has clearly been there a lot longer than just the recent rain. If that is the case, why not fill them in and plant grass. You certainly cannot play out the bunker unless you are wearing hip boots, and some a snorkel.
We played the front 9, waiting at every hole for a single golfer in front of us. At the “turn” the snack-bar was closed, and most of the doors were locked. We decided to play best ball on the second round of the front 9. We were playing very quickly. On the 2nd hole the kid from the snack bar/proshop was now playing marshal, he asked us to be back to the clubhouse by 7:30. The sun sets at 8:12; again we were playing best ball. As we were in the middle of the 3rd hole, less than 5 minutes later the manager rides up on us and asked us to leave. It was 7:07. We pulled back to the clubhouse, unloaded our clubs and drove the carts back. Needless to say when I got out of the cart I asked the manager for a refund for 4 of us for the 9 holes. He proceeded to not respond and just rudely walk away. He is so incredibly rude. Someone who has people skills and a passion for the game needs to take over.
Overpriced, Under‑Maintained, and Poorly Managed
This course is in unacceptable condition. The fairways are rough, the greens are neglected, and the overall maintenance looks like it’s been ignored for far too long. For the price they’re charging, the value simply isn’t there.
The cart policy is just as frustrating. You can’t take the cart to your car to load your clubs, and you can’t use it to get to the driving range. You’re only allowed on the cart when it’s time to play, which is inconvenient, illogical, and makes the entire experience feel restricted for no good reason.
To make matters worse, nobody mentioned at check‑in that the back nine was closed due to flooding. I didn’t find out until I spoke with the starter only then was I told I had no option to play the back nine. That lack of communication is unacceptable, especially when you’re paying full price for a course that isn’t fully available.
Between the poor conditions, restrictive cart rules, and failure to communicate major course closures, this place is overpriced and nowhere near worth it.
Terrible owner
We paid for 3 players. 2 to play 18 holes and 1 to join on the back 9. Teed off at 433p. On the 10th hole the owner (Mike) and his wife came out screaming at us that we had to stop playing. They said the course was closing and that the player who paid for 9 could only play the front 9. I explained that we told them in the clubhouse that she was jointing for the back 9 and the owner said that wasn’t allowed. I’ve never been treated more poorly on a golf course
Nice course
Course is in good shape , best I’ve seen in in along time , also played some other courses that week that weren’t in as good of shape and had better ratings ! Keep it up what ever your doing
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.
