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.

Well maintained course

Great course for not having played it before. Well maintained and green were in good shape, but a little on the wet side. Several holes were in the process of being repaired/cleaned up. Active maintenance on a course is a good thing. Too many in courses have just fallen to the wayside.

Nice layout

Course has a fun layout with some challenging holes and some great risk/reward shots. It was extremely wet and the fairways were brown and dormant but it was december! I imagine it would be quite fun in the spring, summer and early fall. Greens were in pretty good shape considering the weather. Played in under 3 hours as a single playing 2 balls. All in all I enjoyed the day.

Hidden gem in Virginia Beach

Course is pristine and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Another set of forward tees would make the course
more senior friendly. However, it is a really nice course.

Great Course!

This is a nice course. A number of holes have semi private tee boxes, which creates a feel of being on your own course. Most fairways are narrow and greens are well protected. The greens were in great shape, smooth and fast on the day I played.

If you have trouble hitting the ball straight off the tee you can get in trouble quick. The only bad thing I can say about this course is that it gets too wet and mushy with the slightest bit of rain. Most holes are cart path only due to the softness of the ground. However don't let that detour you. . .I love this course. It has great variety of long par 4's with shorter crafter holes. Fun and Challenging!

A chalenging course

Hells point is a picturesque and challenging course with narrow fairways, lot's of water and bunkers in play. Considering the previous days weather the course was in fairly good shape although there was a lot of mud in the fairways and some standing water and wet spots. The greens were in very good shape but very slick. The length and design of the course is not conducive to walking....I logged 6.18 miles of travel during my round based on GPS, so walking through the twisting meandering paths between holes although a wonderful walk in the park but for the average golfer it's a trek.

Great Round of late Summer Golf

Course was in excellent shape despite recent rains. Ground was damp, and carts were restricted to paths only. This made play slower than normal, but the players caused most of the problems.

The tees and greens were in excellent shape. The fairways were damp in spots because the rains but for November this was above average golf.

Definitely going to return in the near future!

Skip the Snack Bar!

The course was in excellent shape and the October day was gorgeous. Got a great deal on the green fee at just $15, but then got socked for $13 for 2 hot dogs and 2 sodas at the snack bar. I would definitely play here again, but just wait to get something to eat later.

09/21/2014 Course review

It was cool and wet with slight rain throughout. Course was wet and sloppy. Greens were surprisingly fast for the wet conditions but they held well with the fop shot into them.

Bring mosquito repellent but because they were out in force.

Great layout. Too bad its in poor condition.

The tee boxes are abysmal. There are very few flat spots on them and very little grass. Mostly sand and weeds. The greens were ok and soft as were the fairways. I played as a single but got paired up with 3 guys and a 4 year old. One guy brought his son as rider. You can imagine what problems that caused.

Very Nice Course

Hard to give a great review because due to heavy rain the night before we played, it was cart path only and VERY wet. Office was kind to allow my husband a handicap flag, but due to the exteme spgginess of the course, we did not take advantage of driving on most fairways. People were very nice. Would recommend playing here (hopefully when it drys out)!
