Hell's Point Golf Club

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.

It is a good course....lot of time it is wet. It needs a good drainage, other than that , I will play the course again...

What a great value at this course through Golf Now's hot deal.

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.

The first time I played here was several years ago while visiting the Hampton Roads area and I liked the course then, although I recall that the greens had very recently been aerated, with a lot of diseased areas. The greens that day really made the round less than enjoyable.

Fast forward about six years. This area was hit full-force by Hurricane Matthew just five days ago, with the area around the course receiving over a foot of rain in less than 24 hours. Needless to say, I was apprehensive about playing here today, expecting soggy, unplayable areas on the course. I wasn't totally wrong, however the entire crew has been working hard to make this course quite playable. Yes, there was quite a lot of soggy ground conditions on many of the holes, but with cart path only rules for the next week, there should be little damage to the turf. The storm caused many large trees to be knocked over, and where these fallen trees were encroaching on the area of play, or even the cart paths, they have been cleared away, for the most part. There is a lot of small tree debris in the deeper rough all along most holes, but the crew is working on getting that all cleaned up. The tee boxes are in good shape, and the fairways, other than being pretty wet, are playable. Although on #8 and #18, my approach shots were short of the green and the ball was completely plugged, becoming 100% buried in the fairway. Took some time & luck to locate each ball!

The greens had recently been aerated, but they are only a week or two away from not showing any more sings of this. In fact, the sand-filled holes on the greens are rolled in enough that they are more like little dots in the grass. On a couple of holes, they were aligned perfectly with the cup so that I could use them like runway lights, guiding my putts. LOL!

Aside from the current post-storm conditions, this course is fun in that it will make you think on a few holes with some doglegs in both directions, with pretty narrow landing areas on some of the fairways. And almost all of the greens are guarded by bunkers (which understandably have a lot of water in them right now). The location is out in the woods, with only one hole really near any traffic just outside the fence. The rest of the course is peaceful and really gives you the feeling of being secluded, which is a nice change from courses that are built with houses lining every fairway. This is a good course for all skill levels, except for maybe an absolute beginner - might be a little too challenging.

If you haven't played here, a $30.00 green fee is a fair deal, and GN sometimes has Hot Deals here for as little as $17.00, which would be an absolute steal!

Kudos to the staff here for getting this course in such good playing shape so quickly! In another week, this course will be in pristine condition. If you haven't played here, give it a try. I'll be back soon.

had we known the greens had recently been aerorated and that the course was "under water" we wouldn't have played there - not counting the mosquitos carrying you away. Didn't know when we got there that the back 9 was closed. On the turn they had just opened up the back 9 - cart paths under water.

This course is a Rees Jones design, making it an awesome layout. The architecture is really great. The course is heavily wooded, the greens are unique and challenging. The staff is amazing here; very friendly. They do an incredible job keeping this place in great shape. It is still recovering from the recent flooding, but that being said the course is in immaculate condition. The greens are prime condition, the fairways are great. Some of the tee boxes are struggling, but that doesn't detract from playability at all. I played as a single as the first tee time of the day and walked the course in less than 3 hours. :)

I went I play this course and they said it was to wet to use a cart so they made us walk well while we were walking the the workers where easily driving on the course with no damage being done. A few hole later they were watering the course and the pro shop employees were rude I wouldn't reccomend this course to anyone

Nice course with just a bit of toughness added in. Play your shots straight or you could be in trouble here.

Best condition it has ever been in ....played well had fun..kudos to management

Great weather and getting paired into a friendly threesome was a stroke of good luck, and pace of play was acceptable. This was my fourth trip to Hells' Point golf Course, and without a doubt, it was in the best condition I've ever seen. It actually allowed me to really enjoy the layout and shot-making choices. I'll go back.

Nice course layout, wish it was in a bit better shape. For the price though, it couldn't be beat. Rental clubs are a little pricey.

I played the course 2 times this past weekend I had to leave early on the first day had a couple of members with me. The course was tight the rough was thick this course makes you hit great shots to score well. I played from the tips on the first day whites on the next...regardless of where you play from the shot selection is the key, greens are guarded very well greens were soft but nice to putt on...

I haven't played in the area too often but i can say I will play here when ever I return....and great staff I must say the cart was by my car after I came from paying and I didn't have to ask.... Great layout back as well loved the scenery even though I didn't see any snakes :-) which was a plus... You cannot go wrong at this course prices were great I must add

other than the water being empty at all the holes, it was a great course.

Play it for just a bucket list option at a great price @GolfNow. Exceeded all expectations and all around great experience. Came as a single and played along with a couple other gentleman who were great company. Course was challenging but fair and had some great dog legs and views. It being my first look and play of the course, I always enjoy taking in the sights and challenges and added focus on playing well to put up a decent score. Great times for sure...

Friendly and accommodating staff. Course was in good condition for the weather that was going on in the VAB area.

Great course layout and the greens were in good shape. Unfortunately most of the tee boxes were horrendous and a majority of the holes had very poorly maintained areas around the greens, especially #18. For $40 on a Saturday morning the value is decent considering its close to a tourist destination. Not really sure what the ranger does while driving around the course all day though, as he's clearly not telling people to pick up the pace of play.
