This course needs new greens.

The course is in very rough shape, grass needs improvement and the greens are terrible.

Close to home

This course is close to my home. I play here often because of that and it's inexpensive. For February the greens are in good shape and pretty fast. I do wish that the pace of play was a little better but they allow groups to skip holes which causes backups from time to time. I do appreciate Mike and his staff for the junior camps they put on in the summer. My son has benefited from it. Overall it's not a bad place to play. Now if they can get some sort of food sales it would greatly help.

Not bad

The course is not fully developed. No permanent clubhouse. Some cart paths are paved, others not. The layout is good. Lot of water in play so need to be fairly accurate. Greens are green, not brown, and pretty fast. The course is not fully developed, but for the money, it's fine. It's challenging enough. Plenty of practice area for putting, chipping, and driving. We'll play here again.

My best score at this coarse- 73

Everything played right for me yesterday. I've been playing at this course whenever there's a great deal at golfnow.com so basically that means very often with the weather permitting.

The course was dry, greens a bit fast and off course open wide fairway. You can easily recover from a bad drive.

One thing I notice is the dust in the air that seem to linger witht the wind. It gets in your eyes so I suggest a good pair of shades and wash off after. Other than that the course is grat for your money.

Scruffy Looking Links

Its a good course for a less than scratch golfer than me. Its cheap, and you can (relatively speaking) beat up the course.

Course Keeps Getting Better

Played this course after it was first opened. Nothing to write home about. Played it each year and it continues to get better and better. Long holes, short holes, water, elevated greens and wind. If the city of Chesapeake would stop putting barriers in this courses way this could be a really nice course. As I said it keeps getting better but with the city not cooperating with them it is a slow process. Keep up the good work especially what you have done with hole #7. I think this could be your "Signature" hole. Enjoyed.

Visiting Foursome

The course played well. If there were 150 yard sticks in the fairway it would help players to better locate the flag on the greens. Given the layout, we were constantly looking for flags as first time players on the course.

Overall, I would play the course again.

it was a windy day.

good course, Greens were a little hard but okay. Fairways were easy to hit off of. Open course so a windy day makes it much more challenging. bottom line I had fun.

Below average

I expected better conditions for the tee box, fairways, etc. - the green were just aerated, rolled slow and very inconsistent.

The weather was great so it was worth the $15, but no more.

No club house, just a trailer with a frig.

Battlefield golf course is a good golf course. It's a pretty good valve for the price. The course conditions have improved greatly over previous years.

"Battlefield"

Can see work needs to be done and clubhouse to be constructed. Hope to find there is a connection made with "Battlefield." We were disappointed there was no such connection evident as we played the 18. Course was interesting to play despite an extreme wet winter.

So much potential

This course has a great layout. Holes have tons of character. Probably has 4 of the best par three holes around! That being said. . . The course has very poor drainage and is extremely wet around 90% of the greens and 17th and 8th fairways were under water. Greens rolled and held decent but had a few significantly low plugs from previous holes. Not a lot of bunkers but what's there needs some sand. Mostly packed sand and clay in the bottoms. Like the title says, this place has great potential. With a little TLC it could be a true gem.

Much better than expected

Course was wet because of earlier in the week rain, but greens were dry and well trimmed. Will definitely play it again, hopefully after a few days without rain, it should be a much better experience.

Great course!

I was on vacation at Virginia Beach with my girlfriend and we decided to play the first 9 holes at this wonderful golf course. The condition of the course is excellent, especially considering the time of the year. The tee boxes, fairways, greens and bunkers are all in excellent condition. Two out of the first three holes are a couple of the most difficult on the course so be prepared. You may want to hit a bucket of balls at the range to get warmed up first. The course does a great job incorporating its water hazards with some of the hazards coming into play on multiple holes. Other then the water hazards the course is actually very forgiving, you can hit a bad shot and have a pretty easy time finding your ball often times with a good lie. Between the two of us we only lost 1 ball in the rough through 9 holes and we were spraying balls on several holes. For example I hit a bad hook on the 5th hole and ended up with a playable blind approach shot (over a hill) to the green. Another example was when I hit a bad slice off the tee on the 9th but found myself in the middle of the 18th fairway with a blind approach shot over one of the taller set of hills on the course. Suffice to say that the course is fairly hilly in some places. Overall this is a fun and challenging course to play and I would like to return and play a full 18 next time.
