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.

Nice greens

Greens were awesome to putt, fairways were tree lined and tight plus lots of fairway bunkers. You must hit it straight or you've got chance.

Great HOT Deal Course

I got a hot deal here and played 18 holes, riding, for $13. It's normally $30-$50 to play a around here. It's an interesting layout. The greens had been aerated a couple of weeks ago so they weren't rolling as fast as usual. It was still cart path only, which tells you how wet the fairways were. This course was basically built in a swamp do it takes a long time to dry out after a winter like we've had.

Very nice course all around. It was a bit mushy but that was from the rain during the week. Other than that it was fantastic.

Great course but slow on the weekends!

Course is always well kept, but they can't keep the pace flowing. Almost 5 hours on the course with plenty of waiting on each tee box. Get an early tee-time on the weekend or expect a slow pace of play.

NIce Golf Course ...

I got a great deal on Golf Now and that made this a very nice golf course. The green were in good shape and the ball rolled pretty true. Fairways were in good shape (the lil time I spent on them, lol). A challenging course but not over the top difficult. All and all a very nice golf course. The next time in the area I will play there again. If you catch a deal on Golf Now, don't hesitate nice course.
