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.

First time here, will come back!

We arrived a bit early for our 9:04 tee. Inside the clubhouse we were greeted and was told a little about the course. He even gave us free yardage books. The starter was super friendly and we even went off early. The course layout was very nice with a lot of different designs and some water. The greens were in great shape! No issues at all when putting. If there is one complaint and there is only one, is that a few of the tee boxes need some love. Other than that, no issues with playing this course! We will come back and if you are near, give this one a play.

Great Course with a bit of tidying-up needed

Overall, this was a very pleasant course to play. The layout is challenging but fair. Accuracy is needed on a number of holes or you’ll lose your ball in the woods or water. The tee-boxes are well used and need some work, as do some of the fairways which have the odd bare patches. The greens were soft and in very good condition ; revealing they had been watered regularly. The only negative aspect was the almost five hour round. The were no course marshals to ensure a good pace of play was being kept, and players in front had dropped at least one hole off the pace of those in front of them. Other than that I would love to play this course again.

Hmm.

Grass was very short or dry. Tee boxes were mostly dead with holes. Sand traps were in good shape, but no rakes (covid ?). Play was ok on front 9, we got pushed by a group on the back 9 even though we waited on group in front of us. A single flew around us while we were putting (rude) and hit into the group in front...no marshal. It was ok, I guess.

Wow!

Haven't played this course in over a year, fairways and greens were beat up. Today- WoW- they have put in a lot of work, fairways and green are in great plush shape, no bare spots. Going to now make it a regular play!
