Hell's Point Golf Club

A nicely laid out course with some moderate water challenges.

3rd week of February, 70 degrees both days of the weekend, and NOONE in the snack bar. If you wanted even a hotdog for lunch, you'd better head on down the road to 7-11. Could barely get a pack of crackers or a Diet Coke if you wanted one. The management in the pro shop is a joke.

On the other hand, considering it's February, the course conditions, while quite damp, were VERY playable. Greens rolled great. Not terribly fast, but not slow by any means.

This course was always a top-notch course in VA Beach, and a member/tourist favorite. Course is still great...the off-course amenities not nearly so.

Last years pump house fire caused the loss of most of the back nine Green's. With the current warm weather and rain this has brought them back. Had a great round at Hells Point yesterday.

Played 12/26/15. Course was wet and does not drain well. Played 2-3 years ago and course maintenance was sub-par. That has been corrected. Would recommend if course is dry. Would not pay more than $40 to play if course is wet.

Their GolfNow prices are super! The Back Bay is a very low and wet area so lift, clean and place is a must since you get a lot of plugged tee balls. Greens are much improved and are fast, very easy to three putt. This is one of Pete Dyes best designed courses, weaving through water hazards on many holes. However, the greatest challenge is having to hit many fairway shots from soggy lies. If you hit under the ball the least bit the club will dig in and nearly get jerked out of your hands. This will force you to learn to pick the ball off the fairway, a difficult task for amateur golfers. Don't be surprised if you have some big numbers and have trouble scoring. This is a really fun and challenging course with some excellent holes and driveable par 4's.

The staff went out of their to be friendly to us. Made us feel welcome. And the course was well maintained.

Course was in great shape. A bit wet but not unusual for the location. Staff was great! Slow on the Friday after Thanksgiving --some folks out that don't normally play. Best maintained bunkers I have sen this year in VA Beach. Had a great times.

Whenever I go to Virginia Beach I like to play this course. It is fun and usually not crowded.

The greens on the front 9 were the worst greens in Hampton Roads but the greens on the back 9 resembled a respectable golf course. Fun course though as a few of the holes had water in play (or a small creek you didn't see when you were teeing off) and lots of trees that made you hit a good tee shot. Doesn't play really long. I just think the course is overpriced for the conditions of the greens. Might be better now but who knows.

I read a couple of reviews concerning the greens which stated a great improvement since Aug. I think now I will play at the golf course now that I read the greens are in better condition. I hope there correct in there review ill see.

Fairways in pretty good shape. Front nine greens need some TLC, very fast and had some spotty dead grass. Back nine were in decent shape, and very playable. Good pace of play. Overall good to excellent value for under $25 during weekend.

The course was in excellent shape. There were only two problems. First I was rushed off the first tee due to what I guess was a men's league so no time to warm up and second there was only one person working in the pro shop. He was running back and forth between the checkin register and the grill. Very understaffed. Overall good experience once I pulled away from the league.

Course is looking a lot better than it did a month or so ago. It was fairly busy, but we were expecting that on such a nice day. Me and the other two golfers I was with had a great time and will definitely play here again.

Great time on a great course. Not crowded, had a wonderful time and it was a beautiful day.

Our group hadn't played there in awhile and we will not be back until they redo the greens and get the course back in shape,The pro told us they lost the water pump and that's why the greens died but they sure didn't tell us that while we were paying and needless to say you wasn't getting a refund,Very disappointed as this use to be one of Va Beach's nicest courses but now it's at the bottom of the list.

Very disappointed with conditions of course overall. Front nine greens in poor shape. Back nine somewhat better. Collars around all greens in horrible condition. Speed of play excellent since very few golfers playing. Made me wonder if this course will exist in a year or two. Needs some tlc as it is a good layout

Gorgeous day. Busy course. had a 2:09 tee time- teed off by 2:20. Played behind 3 two somes and then a 5. The 5 group did not even come close to ready golf. Watched them on the next hole looking for a ball (balls) in the woods for FIVE minutes. Meanwhile there is a pair on the tee, a pair waiting behind the tee, and a pair on the green in front of us. 2.75 hours later, we quit after 8.5 holes, but we DID get a rain check for 9 holes. Found out the group of 5 were members. Unacceptable.
One more note, greens were average, at best. Fairways were in phenomenal condition.
I will return, love Hells Point. Just a bad day, for sure.

Played Hells Point while in Virginia Beach on vacation. Played in early afternoon and was only $25 with cart per person so price was great. Mixed reviews I read were taken into account but price was great as was playing with my dad who has not played in a few years due to hip and knee replacement and does not hit ball very far anymore. We enjoyed the layout but greens were very rough as were many of the tee boxes. Conditions improved on back but still found a lot of dead areas on greens and tees. Staff was very friendly but beverage cart only went by once, and when I say went by that is exactly that, she just drove by. We played in about 4:25 so pace was ok but twosomes that were 2 groups behind us were complaining about our pace, even though we waited for twosome in front of us on almost every shot. Never saw a ranger or we would have mentioned the fools yelling at us from behind while we waited. Overall it was a good choice for our group but would not play there again unless conditions were improved. We played VB National later in week for $39/ player and WOW, what a difference.

Hells Point used to be a great golf course. Very challenging; long; pretty course. However, time, as well as limited budgets and poor ownership, have left this course in decrepit shape. In fact, I can't remember playing a course in such poor shape. Ever. The greens are blotchy and difficult to get a fair roll. Traps in horrible shape. Parts of greens and the course are cordoned off for "maintenance" but it doesn't look like they plan on improving those areas. They are just roped off. This is too bad because it is a nice, challenging course. But without new revenue and management, Hells Point is not likely to return to its former standing as one of Virginia Beach's best courses. Bottom Line: it's cheap for a reason. Still challenging, though.

Nice course to play. Nice layout and very challenging. Will come back once greens are in better shape.
