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.

Worst golf outing ever

When I showed up to Hells Point they just gave me my receipt and sent me on my way. When I went to get my cart I found out that I would not be able to play the back 9 because it was under water and that holes 2 and 3 I would only be able to play and drive the cart right down the middle of the fairway because they are mostly underwater. The guy that checked me in at the office didn't tell me anything about this and did not offer a rain check. This was by far the worst experience me and my father and law have had with Hells Point and with Golf Now.

Good course

This is a great course with a challenging layout and beautiful scenery. Greens were in good shape but the fairways have seen better days. Don't let that stop you from playing it though. I'll play there again for sure.

Overall well maintained course

The overall rating was fantastic. The course was challenging and overall well designed. Definitely a strategic course specifically the back nine. Nice staff will be playing here again.

Beautiful course creates a fun round!

I was drawn to play this course by the incredible value of the greens fee. When I actually arrived at the course, I was not disappointed. In the pro shop, the staff were friendly and helpful. Five dollars got me more than enough balls to warm-up on their range. Unusual, though, was the fact that they were "mats only" for the driving range with no obvious work being done to the range. Oh well.

The tee boxes are well-kept, as are the fairways. The greens are well kept, although the speed varies a bit from one to another. Fairways are mostly wide throughout the course, although there is slight variety in that as well. Don't get me started on the par threes--they're tough. They seem short, but beware the wind and bunker placements.

Overall, a great experience at the course!

Nice VB course

This course was pretty nice. It is tight and so you have to be accurate. If you aren't accurate with your driver you need to hit something you can hit straight or it will be a long day. The layout is nice and different. You have to pay attention to the signs to know how to get to each hole. Definitely would recommend. The golf now price was nice and even though it was busy the pace was still decent for a Sunday.

Great Staff! Would recommend.

The course was challenging but fun. Had a great time. Entire staff was friendly, especially the cart girl. Greens were in great shape, fairways were in good shape. I'll come back later in the summer.

Must play

I think this is a must play course if you are in the area. Course was wet from previous rain, but overall condition was excellent considering that and time of year (early Dec.) Loved the layout. Doglegs left and right, a few around large ponds that let you try to bite off as much as you can think you can chew. Staff was overwhelmingly friendly.
