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.

The greens were in great shape. Photo submitted by wadedaffinee on 07/23/2014
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
Bad shape, go elsewhere fir now, hopefully be better next.
Don't waist your time, back 9 closef, front in really bad shape, they should pay id to play here.
Groundskeeper Needed
We live in SC and play golf weekly. This course had horrible greens, the putting surface was the worse I have ever seen.
Staff who checked us in not friendly...didn't feel welcome at all
Greens need alot of work........need to drive around and push allow players....Sat 32 min waiting for a group in front of us
Needs TLC
Great routing and some difficult holes,but the greens were in terrible xhape. Would not recommend it right now.
Disappointed
Completely disappointed...the course was in terrible shape. From tee to green, there was no part of the course that did not need TLC. I used to be able to count on Hells Point and loved to play there. However, It seems it continues to get worse every time I visit - August 2020 will be the last for a long time. I would not recommend playing anytime soon. The course needs a lot of attention!
Overpriced for Conditions
Greens are in terrible condition throughout the course making it just about unplayable. Fairways were wet, but that was not unexpected due the larger amount of rain in the area lately. Green side bunkers need attention and new sand added,. The layout is very good and presents multiple challenges. This could be a fun course to play if kept in better condition. Not worth the price they are charging to play in its current condition.
Great Layout
This was my first time to this course and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The staff was kind and informative to the unfortunate conditions of the course. It had been weird weather lately, super hot, hurricane, a lot of rain here and there. So I was forewarned to what I was about to play in, which was considerate. The layout was great for a skilled player or not so skilled like myself. The fairways were wet, lost a couple due to my shots plugging and disappearing to who knows where and the greens were dried and crusty in some spots making reads extremely difficult. However, I still had a great time and I look forward to going back when the course is in better shape! Also played with a Hot Deal from GolfNow so I really can’t complain too much!
Perhaps, but maybe not.
This course is a great design and layout. It's got challenging and tight fairways, and you have to put the ball in the right spot for a chance at the green. The problem is that the course is in rough shape. Greens are diseased and spotty. Fairways are roughly mown. It had rained frequently the week before we played and most of the course was quite swampy. Plus, the practice facility was in very poor condition. I look forward to seeing what it looks like in the future.
Get control of your greens
Been a while since they were this bad, plenty of nearby courses offering rollable greens. Even the cut greens we’re lined with grass from not emptying baskets while cutting. Pretty disappointing to never know when the course is playable.
Bad shape
Tee boxes and greens were in terrible shape not worth the money. Greens had a fungus and tee boxes weee bare in spots and over grown in others. Would not play here again
Absolute trash
We played 4 holes and left. This is not a golf course. It’s a dog track. The greens are non existent. They’re not cut, they don’t roll. The tee boxes are not cut. Disappointed that the guy in the pro shop wouldn’t warn us of how bad the course condition was. I’ll never go back. I would be very disappointed if I don’t get refunded
Hellish Point
Absolute dog track. Greens are not cut. Wet. Do not play here
