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
moles ran the place
Played this course in 80s when new if was the best course in VB great condition and top 100 new courses now it is like playing a forgotten City course with mole holes and runs all over the place greens ok but fairways where wet and patchy at best mostly POA what a shame
Slippery When Wet
Course is in great shape for winter golf, also in great shape for big snorkeling. I love the course, it’s one of the most stunning to play in Hampton Roads but it really was holding a lot of water when I visited.
Still for mid-January golf the pace was fair, the challenge was there and a fun time was had. It’s no wonder this is one of my favorite courses in the area.
Showing improvement
This was my second time playing the course since June 2022. The greens and bunkers were in better shape. Still plenty of room for improvement but what has been done since I last played is encouraging. The layout is nice. Lots of different shots required. I’ll play again at some point. Hopefully the improvements continue.
Great layout
Love this Rees Jones design. Greens were shaggy, and bunkers need a lot of work.
Stay away
The only thing I can say is good at this place was the golf cart. It was fast, you will want that cause you are going to want to get it done as quickly as possible.
nice day
beautiful December weather, 70 degrees +. Course was very wet from recent rains.
Love the course but…..
This is a.wonderful course that is in need of some work. The cart paths are old and in serious need of replacement. Sadly, many of the players are hard on the course, taking divots without repairing them. About half the tee boxes are rough. The greens are for the most part okay but players don’t fix their ball marks. The majority of the bunkers should be considered hazards as they are hard packed sand with weeds growing in them. All that said, it’s still fun to play. I’d love to see it be brought back to the condition it was in back in the 90’s.
H Point (won’t let me say the name of the course…lol)
Great course! Nice layout, friendly staff, no one there day we played and price through GolfNow was amazing!
Fairways and greens were in great shape, tee boxes were not. I liked the course a lot, will definitely be back
Beautiful Layout and Surrounding Scenery
The course has a nice layout. Fall colors and sprawling lakes added to the beauty of the course. It was not crowded. The pace of play was real good thanks to the absence of noticeably slow players. Strongly recommended.
One of my favorites in Tidewater
Good challenging course. A couple of the greens (one in particular) weren't in great shape, but overall, they were good. I just wish more golfers would be aware enough to fix their ball marks on them.
The worst part of the course is the bunkers. While there are some that are very high lipped (which I don't mind), the sand has been compacted and using a sand wedge is almost impossible. Some of the tee boxes looked highly used, but just a few.
