Hell's Point Golf Club

The holes are beautifully laid out among the woods and water. With healthy greens, this will be a stunning course.

,A few months ago the pump house that housed the irrigation system was vandalized and destroyed causing us to go without water for a while; therefore, causing the current situation with our front 9 greens. The Superintendent and his staff are working diligently to get the greens back to the excellent condition that they previously were in. They are currently building a new pump house and plan to recover hopefully by September. The rest of the overall golf course is in great shape.

The Bad: I have played this course several times and I have never seen it in pristine condition. Something is always under construction. It is marketed as one of the better courses for this area and probably was at one time, but is no longer. The green fees don't match the value. I never play there without a coupon. Narrow fairways and they are not well manicured. The course does not drain well. The Good: Pleasant staff, greens are nice/challenging. Challenging course. Course is not in a neighborhood. Overall its ok but there are simply too many better valued options in this area for me to recommend this course. Hope this helps.

I love this course and have played it almost every summer for twenty years. This time the greens were in such horrible shape that I don't know if I'll ever go back. And to make matters worse, it seems that shoddy maintenance and too much water may be the culprit. The greens are so soggy that every ball mark is a crater and the ball gets mud on it. I really hope they get their act together because otherwise this course is so much fun.

Don't waste your time or money playing this course right now. The greens are terrible, the fairways are dried out in some spots. There was some moist areas around the course when we didn't have any significant rainfall. Overall I thought they should have closed the course down for a few days to a week and get the course back up to par.

It was disappointing to play a course that used to be in great shape. The tees and greens were beat up and short on grass. The aprons were like rough full of crab grass. The fairways were at least mediocre. Additionally I found out I could have paid a lower green fee if I booked through the Hells Point website. $35 instead of the $40 I paid booking through Golfnow. This course unfortunately is on the low end of courses in Hampton Roads.

the course made my list of must plays as I am only here in the area for a short time. It looks better on the internet than it is. It is a nice course for locals, but not worth the hour drive from Portsmouth. there are plenty of place just as nice with out the drive.

The course was in great shape, despite the LARGE amount of rain received over the last few days. Course was nice and soft. As with all courses, shots in the fairway are a premium. Sand traps were FIRM due to all the rain. Overall a nice course for the Hot Deal we got from GolfNow.

A lot of water and most holes were well bunkered. We had a lot of rain the night before so naturally some of the bunkers were unplayable but the others had been raked and were in good shape. Driving it straight was the key to this course if you don't bring a lot of balls.

Haven't played here in awhile but course was in good shape and will be back for sure it was nice because it has been dry which is usually rare for this course.

Title pretty much says it all. Overall course conditions are very good, and the greens verge on excellent with smooth putting surfaces. Pace of play was good, but it was a fairly quiet Wednesday afternoon. I could see that at a busier time, especially in the summer, tourists getting in their occasional round of golf might slow things down. Advice given by others to keep an eye out when venturing off the fairways is warranted as much of this land was originally swampy, and it's easy to disturb a snake's habitat. That shouldn't keep you from playing, however, as this is a very good Rees Jones design that has held up well over the years.

The course was in really good shape, but watch out for snakes when the ball is not in the fairway. Overall the course has some pretty neat holes.

The course layout flows nicely and offers some nice challenges for all skill levels. I played the white tees and was happy with the round overall. The tee boxes were my only real complaint. They were very torn up, browned and sand filled. They really need some seed instead of sand. The markers really need moved more often and the boxes more maintenance. Paying full price would not be an option on this course, Golfnow prices make it worth it.

We played as a foursome with some guests from Florida. All of us were impressed with the condition of the course. Most notable was the friendliness of the staff. We asked the starter if we could go out a few minutes early. He drove out to the first tee to check, then escorted us out there. The cart that my wife and I were in was moving rather slowly, so he traded it with his. He was extremely polite and friendly. We will play there again.

fun track. tee boxes need help, fairways OK, greens very good. Course needs a Marshall to keep things moving. Group in front was driving on the greens and tee boxes. If the course was soggy like it usually is, it could have caused major damage. No beverage cart on a weekend. ???

Played by myself on a Thursday, even though I had two twosomes in front play moved steady.
Greens a fast and tough to read.

This is a very nice course layout. The tee boxes were in terrible shape to be so early in the season. It is a shame this course is not maintained better as it could be a beautiful course. It was a great value at $25 dollars for a round.

The course is laid out well. You will have to make some shots to get around this one. Course conditions have improved greatly over the past few years. If you haven't played this course lately do yourself a favor and tee it up here again.

Fun round of golf, a twosome really backed things up. Would have been nice to have Marshall speed them up. But still a very enjoyable round of golf for the money.

My buddy and I were down (From PA) for a golf trip and this was our first time playing the course. The area had just received a significant amount of rain so we knew the courses would be wet. With that said, this course was in great condition, all things considered. We were very informed regarding course conditions by the staff and considering the conditions this early in the season, I can only imagine how nice the course is mid-season. Definitely will be back!
