Hell's Point Golf Club
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.

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.
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.
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.
It was meh
Not a good course for short players. The greens were fine the t-boxes were crappy
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.
