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
Fun course
I always enjoy playing Hells Point, it’s a fun track. Course was surprisingly busy for a Saturday evening - I did’t tee off until after 5 pm. A couple of greens are looking a little rough, and it would be great if golfers would repair their pitch marks. Other than that, lots of fun.
Over 5 hrs to play 18 holes
The course much improved…!the pace of play was totally ridiculous over five hours to play 18 holes
Don’t believe everything you hear
Since moving to the area I have heard nothing but good things about this course, upon arrival I can not help but to judge others opinions…the range and the course were the worst I have ever played in the 14 years I have played golf…greens were scorched tee boxes looked more like bunkers and the range was even worse…not to mention the people who were playing ahead of us would spend time fishing in the water hazards instead of actually teeing off…will not spend the money or the time on this course again.
Great bang for your buck
The course is nice for a quick round of golf. Some of the tee boxes are a little trashed but honestly I’d go back and play there all the time
Very disappointing
Course conditions were abysmal, worst I’ve played in 30 years. I understand that it was only $40 but I expected better. Layout was fine and staff extremely friendly but this could not overcome poorly cut tees, shabby fairways, and lack of a rough. I hate to give a poor review but you should not spend your money here.
Great course, and fun layout. If you’re playing the white tee boxes it definitely is like standing on the moon. More level and plush tee boxes from the blues. Fairways could use some trimming also. 3rd time playing here and the same two issues. Won’t stop me from playing here again though. Staff is chill
July 5th
Great layout
Tee boxes a bit shaggy
Fairways, bunkers and greens are in good shape
Super slow pace of play
Never saw a marshal
Soil moist
Humid conditions the turf very soft other than that it was enjoyable to play today
Great course
I live in a resort town and playing golf is a joke I'm a member at a golf course and they over book every day 1/2 hr wait to tee off and your next shot. (Sucks) it was great to have a steady pace of play. And there are goats on the course it was pretty awesome .
