Hell's Point Golf Club
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 and challenging course
Challenging course that makes you step up your game. Beautiful layout. Greens were a little too wet due to a recent storm. Overall great course.
good for money
$40 on Sat morn at 1030, greens nice, good layout, tight fairways, easy to lose ball if tee shots are off, was early in season and right after good rain bit in nice so real sloppy and wet, staff friendly, pace of play bad because of narrowness of course, lots of people searching for balls
Ball placement is key
ball placement is key to course. very challenging. greens are fast. course is well kept. the staff was very friendly. will golf here again.
Great Course
Very challenging and for someone like myself who only gets to play once or twice a week, it's great! We'll be back on the course again next week.
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.
Exceptional course
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.
Relaxing golf
It was beautiful. The greens were impeccable. The value and atmosphere of the course on the protected back bay was a plus. The pga pro was courteous helpful and even gave us some tips! Would be an excellentl place for outing! Will be coming back soon!
The course played very long.
It was long. The course was long but we still had a great afternoon.
Mr. Peddro Crump
I have played this course several times and every-time that I come to Va. Beach I play it. The course is always in good condition and you can usually get out with no problem.
Great Course
We played the day after there was rain and the course was in pristine condition, great scenory while you play through the woods. I will play this course again we had a great time. Very challenging, if you are a long hitter this is the course for you.
Nice course, fast greens, but they held.
Well worth playing if the price is right. Challenge to most golfers, some unique holes.
Very wet conditions due to very close to sea level
Greens were very good but the rest of the corse was wet and muddy.
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.
Fun course
Course is fun and challenging and in pretty good shape. We enjoyed it each time we played. I would recommend it.
Good value for price paid
Staff was very friendly. Good value for the discounted rate I paid.
Worth $30......maybe
This course is not worth the $60 listed, it may be worth the $30 I payed, but I still am upset I paid that much.
Greens gave true reads
Enjoyed the layout and the reads of the greens. Good bunker placements. Good risk/reward type of course.
