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 course for the value..!
This course is in great shape, the only issues I have is that there are not enough yardage markers, weather on the fairways or tee boxes, had to guess on some holes. Some greens had damage from the hard summer they had. Very friendly staff.
Don't Bother; Better Choices in the Area
The proshop staff and starter were friendly. But that doesn't make up for the poor condition of the greens. Plus, where was the ranger? We got stuck behind a group that was slow and had no golf ettiquette (didn't offer to let our fast playing twosome play through). After multiple swings and misses, players in this group would top the ball about 20 yards and then give each other golf lessons before swinging and missing multiple times again....while we waited on the tee box. Members of this group who could hit the ball would take a mulligan on almost every tee while we waited in our cart. No ranger to ask them to pick up the pace or to let faster players go through...unacceptable.
Some sneaky hazards
Some fairways are narrow with woods or water hazards; challenging but playable. Frequently, adjoining fairways appear to have open tree borders, only to find sneaky little ditches that gobble up anything trying to roll thru.Fairways and tees were in good shape, but greens were generally pock marked. I suspect this course doesn't dry out real fast as there were several wet areas.
Nice Layout
I enjoyed the way the course was laid out. Tee box and fairway conditions were good, but many of the greens were pretty chewed up. The greens look like they had been aerated 10-20 days prior to me playing and it looked like they were recovering slowly.
Better than I expected
I enjoyed this course. I was expecting a dumpy beach course, but found it to be very spread out and actually pretty difficult. If you stray much off the fairway, good luck finding it in the thick trees and reeds. I'm not sure it's worth their rack rates, but discounts on GolfNow make it worth it.
Fair Course
Course is good, but the greens can use some work. With a little maintenance, the course wouldand be great. Would not play if had to pay normal rate. Can fine various discount tee prices on the internet.
Nice layout teens need attention
Fun course to play if you can get it at a good price At least until the greens are back to decent shape
great greens well kept
timing is everything I played after they got 6 inches of rain so the course played very long
Narrow layout, coniditioning needs improvement
The course is in a swampy area. Most places off of the cart path were so soggy, resulting in a lost ball. Good layout but it doesn't drain well. Greens were slow and muddy.

happy with first time playing there and was the greens were great
