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.

Tournament.
When booking our reservations we we're put off right behind a tournament. Slow slow play. Marshall was rude.
Great Golf Course
My wife and I arrived about 45 minutes early for our Tee time. We were paired up with another couple and headed for the first Tee earlier than our Tee time. The course was very well manicured and showed markable improvement since that last time we played here (about a year ago). We had an excellent time with the couple we were paired with and we all extremely enjoyed our round of golf. This course has really been improved from a year ago. I will start playing here more often now.
nice course
very nice course ,challenging but you can shoot low scores if you can keep ball in play beautiful scenery,lots of water wilderness and sand
Wood lined fairways with lots of water views
Very impressed with the layout. About 6,000 yards from the white tees but most fairways are tight. Great par 3's mostly with carry over water. Nice wide creek runs through course. Greens were smooth, fairways about average. Overall, a very fun round in about 4 hours and 20 minutes on the weekend. Would definitely play again.
course was in great shape the day after a hard rain
I enjoyed the course and the staff as well as the guys I was paired with
Virigina Beach - 6-09-14
Course was in good shape, played as a single & the other golfers were courteous to allow me to play through.
Read the Book
This was the second time playing this course. Great course especially for the Hot Tee time deal price. I wanted to play it again because of the tight fairways...see if I could change my game plan and adjust to the course. I'll put it this way...I studied the course guidebook (on how to "approach" each fairway/hole) but I still failed the test. 3rd time will have to be the "charm". I love challlenges!
Fun & Challenging
Very good fairways & greens. Much better than the average course in Virginia Beach. Very nice savings booking thru Golf Now.
First time, but will not be the last
Great round!! Staff at the clubhouse got us out and started promptly. Course was very quiet, except for the occasional jet noise.
Nice lay out of course with challenging holes.
I was not sure I wanted to play because of their name. But it was a very pleasant staff and the course made you appreciate what it had to offer. Do not take any hole as you may see it for granted on this course. It is very difficult to visualize the course until you have played it. So I will probably have to play again.
Courses is short and tight
Course was in decent shape pace of play was a little slow that day cart girl was nice and friendly
great time
I played Hells Point golf course back when I was High School for our Regional tournament. I am glad to see the course is just as hard as it was when I was younger. Beautiful greens, plush fairways. Just an awesome day. Thank you to the staff at Hells Point.
Quality
Really enjoyed playing the course. Ruff time draining the day after a storm. Pace of play could have been better, we just happened to be stuck behind a large group. I will definately be going back but keeping one eye on the weather.
First Timer
First time playing at this course. Greens were excellent. The fairways were in decent shape in lieu of the bad winter. Great starter and rangers. Will play again next time I'm in town.
Great Find
I have played this golf course on several occasions, but this time it was in excellent shape. The greens were smooth and true and the new owner has improved the cart paths.
A must play
The staff was great as they made you feel as a local. Lots of advise from the Starter on danger areas to stay out of. Greens very fast and tricky to read some times. Got lots of roll when I drove the ball on the fairway. The view is amazing in many areas of the course. A must play and we did of course! I suggest an early start and a mid to late re-play. Do note the re-play was only $20/including cart.
Nice course in a natural setting
The only problem I have with Hells Point is they never seem to have grass on the practice tee. Other than that its a great course for the money.
Great course
Awesome facility, beautiful course. Hope I get to go back soon.
excellent
Course was in excellent condition. Staff was friendly an helpful. Can't beat playing for $21 on an 85° degree day in under 3 hours!
Do not play after a raining
This place drains poorly. It will be a swamp for at least 3 days after a rain. In 2011 fairways and greens had to be revamped after poor maintenamce. It's coming back but it a long way from 2008 conditions.
