About
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 greens were in great shape. Photo submitted by wadedaffinee on 07/23/2014
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!
Hells point
I love this course, well kept plays very good the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable outstanding day of golf
Great course
Love this course, well maintained the staff is the friendliest I've seen and very helpful and knowledgeable
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.
Scenic Course
Enjoyed playing the course. We will be sure to return.
Enjoyed this cou rse
I enjoy playing this course as it has a very nice layout and is reasonably challenging.
The green were just aerated and that was the only down point on this day.
Amazing!
Absolutely the best course in the area! Beautiful!
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.
FAST GREENS AND SOFT FAIRWAY
THIS COURSE WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IT PLAYED LONG FROM THE TIPS BUT IF YOU STAY IN THE FAIRWAY YOU WILL ENJOY YOUR ROUND.
it's was the first time and not the last
Very impresive, surrely I will recommand it and coming back. The staff is great and friendly.
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)!

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.
Right on and Solid
This course offers great value, has a friendly staff, and the greens are in great shape!
Slow Play
Beautiful course and very challenging. My only problem was the pace was so slow. They had overbooked and it made me stop after 9 holes.
palmer
Nice course. challenging greens and very scenic. the tee boxes were a little beat up, but the rest of the course was in fine condition
Great Day of Golf
Received GolfNow rate of $25 including cart. Great course condition. Challenging and Awesome value.
Not much I would change.
Great day overall. Humid but a nice ocean breeze at times. Great service: Holes had cold water and we were visited by the Drink cart several times.
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.
