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.

The course from Tee to Green is in excellent condition. The Greens are the best they have been in 10 years. The new superintendant has done an excellent job restoring the playing conditions to the good old days, when the US Open had their qualifiers here. Drainage is much improved, you have to try the course.

Opposite of He... double hockey sticks

This course was in good shape with true rolling greens. Staff was nice and beverage cart came by several times. Some holes require a very accurate tee shot, and some are wide open. The Tips are long on quite a few holes so you need to be a long hitter to enjoy the tips. Just like the pro's it's all about FAIRWAYS.

Good round

Great conditions and well maintained course. Can be difficult if you do not find the fairway. Lot of sand on the front 9 and lot of water on the back 9. The starter was very friendly and so were the staff. Great value for money.

Fun course but you will need to hit it straight

Had a fun day playing this course for the first time. Keep the ball on the fairway and it isn't to hard to score well but the fairways are not real wide and when your not on the fairway good luck! I enjoyed this course and I will play it again. I would recomend this course to average to better players, it might be a bit to hard for a beginner to enjoy.

This course has some challenging holes.

The weather was very wet the day before my day at this course. I'm glad they let us play, it was cart path only. Too much rain turned it into a swamp, so pick a dry day. I'm sure its terrific when its dry

Can't quite put everything together

Greens and fairways in very good condition. Tees a disaster - saturated with water and no grass. It had rained a lot during the week but the condition of the tee boxes indicate a year-long problem. Too bad because the layout is really first rate. Played four other area courses and all had better tee box conditions in spite of the weather.

Excellent course

This was the first time I have ever played this course and I was blown away with how beautiful the course was. The course itself is on a nature preserve so there were a ton of trees and wildlife. Most of the fairways were very slim and the greens were kept in great shape.

The front nine was not too challenging, I ended up with par. The back nine was somewhat of a challenge. Overall I scored a 75, but the course really made me work for that!

Superb layout

Great course. Beautiful design with scenic woodlands, water and wildlife. Had a wonderful day with my family. I would play here again in a heartbeat. Only negative was that sand bunkers need a little work but that should be accomplished without to much effort.

I played here a couple of years ago and liked the layout but the course was in rough condition. But this time around the course was plush and beautiful with near perfect greens. I got a great price on golf now also. A pleasant day all around,.

Beautiful course, well maintained

Our foursome enjoyed an excellent day of golf. The pace of play was excellent, marshals were visible throughout the course and the snack cart was timely. the course is very well maintained and directions to each hole are clearly marked. this was enjoyable for the scratch golfer in our group and a good learning experience for the less experienced golfers. All around - a great Day of golf!

Definitely worth a visit

Fun course to play. A real tee shot golf course that won't require too many drivers unless you're playing all the way back. The greens were in great shape...smooth, true, and a manageable speed. (If anything, true diehards might wish they were a bit faster.) Would definitely play it again.

Great Course and staff

It is refreshing to be met in the parking lot by a friendly marshal offering to load up my clubs in a cart. I like the challenges on the course as well as the beauty and wildlife all around the course (birds, turtles, fish, snakes, etc.) Having the creek and ponds throughout the course makes for a tranquil setting. I would highly recommend playing this course when one is in the Virginia Beach area. If you have a tendency to hook or slice around water, then make sure you have plenty of golf balls. The first time I played hole #14 I lost four balls in the lake. This time I didn't lose any by playing down the right side. I enjoy playing this course.
