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.

Fall is great for golf.

Hells point offers a unique and challenging course that will test your skills. It is full of surprises too.

Great Course

This course is great for the price. Greens are well maintained as well as the fairways. My only complaint would be the dampness, but that’s that whole Sandbridge Area. Would highly recommend and play again.

What happened to Hells Point

I don’t know what happened to this course. Maybe new owners. Growing up in Lago May the neighborhood which the course is in , HP used to be in awesome shape. It now has gone to poop. Greens suck. It just is sad

Late September 2020

As usual, design of course is stellar with unique layout and holes. Unfortunately, greens took a hit and we putted in greens that were like average fairways. Still recommend as the course design is good.

Aptly named

Got a hot deal price of $22 instead of $40. Still overpaid. Play was limited to back nine due to aeration. The greens were half diseased and after first hole we didn't bother to putt. Would not recommend for avid golfers only newbies who are content to play anywhere. After 3 days in Virginia beach I'm thinking that any course below $50 is a take your chances...

Greens

Greens are awful !!! Not just because they aerated They were bare with black Moss.

Very scenic and woody. There are wild goats on the course. Pretty cool!

If they get there greens back I would love to play there
