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.

A lot of Risk/Reward holes...good layout.
I have played this course over the past several years while vacationing in the area. I like the layout, which can produce a low score. It is good for the person who doesnt play a lot, and challenging for the more experienced golfer. The course was in good condition despite the amont of rain the area had days before. It is a good course to play for the price.
You should play this course at least once!
If you want to grip and rip, this course is not for you. Some narrow fairways and trouble from left to right but very fair. Course makes you think driver versus 3 wood on the tee. Fairways in good shape considering all of the rain and greens rolled true. I enjoyed the challenge and would go back.
Nice hole layout
Interesting course. The staff was very nice. The greens were very slow. The course had received a bunch of rain the few days prior to my round so it was soggy. If you missed the rough it was just swamp land. This course has some aesthetically pleasing shots from the tees. The river you cross mid round is also a nice view as well. The practice facilities were nice and the practice green was in line with the greens on the course, very slow. They rolled true , just slow. I would recommend this course but just keep it in play outside the fairway and rough you won't have a playable lie if its rained at all...but I guess if you hit the ball in these spots you shouldn't have a playable lie, right?
challenging course-very wet and slow the day we played
cart path only made for a long day but a nice course.. stay out of the woods and marshland-staff was nice enough
Good,Fun course
Greens were in great shape.Fairways were good except on 2 hole were a little wet due to all of the rain that came earlier in the week.
Over all nice couse!
Challengin course well maintained.
Challenging course with beautiful greens and fairways. Very well maintained. Course provides challenges where least expected and several par three challenging with unusual water hazards and large sand trap areas. Couldn't find fairway markers in several holes but not sure if not looking in right areas. No post markers for distance. Kitchen offers selection of sandwiches and bratwurst are pretty darn good. Very strict on coolers and thermoses.
Great Staff! but marshy course.
Pro shop most accomodating in case of adjusting t time. This is a course that is hard to like when conditions are wet. There is noplace for recent rainwatter to go becuz it is so low-lying. Greens were terrific, though adn the course shows evidence of good maintenance.
conditions better than expected, greens and fairways grown in nicely
Hadn't played in a while, had heard bad condition reports, pleasantly surprised when untrue, fairways and greens grown in nicely, no bare spots, just occasional expected soggy spots
Good Mix of Holes
Nice course, and a great value with the GolfNow discount. Not sure I would want to pay full fare for the place though, especially in the brutal summer heat. Speed of play was really fast, even with large distances between tee boxes. When you lose a ball, its gone - no reason to search - which helps move things along. Not much rough between fairway and trees though, so if you spray, you will be in trouble. A couple of really short par 5's and 3's that can help your score.
Course in good shape
t-boxes were a little thin, but the rest of the course was better than I expected given recent weather
Tough back 9
The course was in great shape for all the rain we had and for the price you can't beat it... I would recomenned this couse to everyone!
Had a great time very playable
Overall very nice and worth the money , nice to be able to do on line t time
Great course for all levels of ability
This is a beautiful course and very well maintained. It rewards accuracy and does not require length off the tee.
Nice local course
The course looked very nice. The fairways were in good shape and the greens were pristine. Everyone there was friendly and very helpful
Greens good, fairways and tee boxes need work.
First day play extremely slow, no Marshall on course. Due to holiday no lawn maitanence on fairways and tee boxes. Staff very nice, greet you at car with cart. Course a very solid test. Enjoyed playing there.

The course was in pretty good shape, but the pace of play was VERY slow. There was a wait on pretty much every tee box.
Very nice track
Played on a rainy day, but the course was in great shape.The greens were slow but in real good condition. Had a a couple great challenging holes where imagination was more valuable than a driver. Will find time to get there to play again.
Looks easier than it is - play within yourself or pay
Nice course - cart man - Frank - very cordial - staff overall very friendly and professional - course well maintained
Needs a lot of attention.
Could be a nice course if someone put the time and money into it. I'm glad I played it with the discount from Golf Now, it's not worth what they are asking full price
