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.

Judge it on Your own

As a "local", H. Point has in my opinion received a lot of unwarranted poor reviews over the past couple of years. Sure it is not in the conditions of when it was voted one of the best new courses in the country, but that was many years ago. This course can be quite challenging if you can't find the fairway off the tee. If you are left or right - you are normally going to be in a swampy mess, but I have no issue with that. What I like about the course is the layout of a few of the holes are unlike any other in the area, which to me makes it more interesting and I don't feel like I'm playing the same type hole over and over. This course is also without homes within the course, so I like that as well. We had the friendly goats on our second hole which has always been fun to see. Yes this course can be wet at times when you don't expect it would be, but I will be back. Enjoy and hit it straight !

Good Layout

this course has a great layout but do not play this course if there has recently been a heavy rain because water gathers between holes and on the cart path and every other where you can think of. This course is literally in a swamp.

Nice course . . .

Nice course that winds through marshland. No houses on the course. Even though the course was lined by wetlands, there were ample fairways so that it did not feel like target golf. Bunkers define the holes very well. Great variety between holes, short and long, straight and dog legs right hland left. Greens were in good shape, which was nice because they are bent grass. Putted well. The bunkers were awesome. In terms of defining where to hit you are tee shot and where to not hit your approach shot. Luckily I did not go into any of them so at cannot speak to how they played.

Great round of golf

This is now my third time playing this course and it is my favorite for the price range in the Virginia Beach area. Relatively quiet day out on the course due to it being a little chilly. The course was in better shape than most this time of year. I’ve shot better each time I’ve came out as well and I’m really beginning to like this course. I will be back soon

Poor course management.

On a busy Sunday of a holiday weekend they sent foursomes out every 9 minutes vice normal 14 minutes and also allowed a single player to go out. Very poor course management by club pro and starter, even when we called after excessive delays they refused to admit mistakes and offer apology. I would not recommend this course.

Super Challenging course with a lot of character holes!!

Loved it and you got to keep the ball in play. Tree lined fairways with water holes too bordering the fairways. Has length but greens are fast and great to putt on. True to the hole with good movement and undulation.

Very disappointed n the condition

We hadn’t played Hells Point in some time, and were big fans of the course. Great layout. Today the condition was pathetic!

Greens were horrible.. fairways pretty good. Tee boxes poor.

I love the course but was very, very disappointed today.

Sad

Have been playing HP for over a decade annually during our family visit to Sandbridge. Sadly, the condition of the course gets worse every year. I’m a golf nut and I’m at the point where I don’t think I can go back. Put some money into it VA Beach!

This course needs better upkeep

The pace of play was horrendous. We had to tell three groups of three to go in front of us because they wanted to play at 20 mph and force us to play quickly. The course greens are terrible and need to be rolled weekly. Also there where major trees down that need to be taken care of. The only thing good is the practice greens and the snack bar prices. Would be better if they had a martial out telling people to stop pushing groups and when to tee off its ridiculous.

VA Beach Golf

Flow of the course was interesting. Tight fairways, challenging ever part of your game. Greens needed so work due to not being cut for three weeks. Other than that, I would return to play another 18 holes.
