Nice public courae

Courae was in good shape. It was a nice day in Nov so knew iy would be a bit slow but man we had a thrwesome in front of us that was brutally slow. No marahall so we had to skip a hole to finish befor darkness set in. The teeoff price was great fir a aaturday round mid-day.

Needed a round of golf

In the city for va ca and needed to get in a round of golf. Second time playing here. Course was in great shape. I was a single and so the pace was not going to be the best and it was understood going in.
I got what i needed and at a good price. Thanks and may return on a future visit.

Extremely slow could not finish the round

I like to play different course while in the area. This day I picked twin run. There was one spot on teeoff so I assumed that I would be part of a mixed group. To my surprize at check in they told me they would try to fit me in. I did have a tee time so that shouldn't have been an issue, in my opinion anyway. He Marshall sent me out as a single rven though there was a group of three ahead of me and the ce was slow as I could see the two groups ahead on the green and in the fairway. I was never asked to join a group either. I attempted to play around slower groups with no success. I Finally gave up and departed after playing a mixed bag of nine holes. It was going to be a 6 hrs round for me at the current pace.

Nice layout

It's was a very slow pace. Course was in decent shape despite recent rains; 4 holes cart path only. Tee boxes were a bit fuzzy. But that's golf some days. Will be back!

What with the Staff

I have played this course many times and have never experienced what I did this last visit. It was sad to witness. During the check in staff was rude and asked questions about my groups attie. Of which I didn't answer. Also asked questions on my reservation. That I also didn't answer besides the number in my previous paid group. Then there was the starter, who seemed to has issues with almost every thing we did. Placing clubs in carts was an issue until he said to. Hello, grown folks here. He made such an issue of a twosome ahead of us being a few minutes late that his performance outside his shack made us late for our tee time. It wasn't that serious and we resolved it .
The staff on this day was a really bad representation of the customer service i was accustomed to at this facility and I thick I'll give Newport News GC a time out!. It's not the only course in the area and when your spending good money no matter how much you want to feel welcomed and appreciated.

Always a good time

It's always a good day playing Newport News GC. it had rained the day before and was 90 degrees. But the course is in good shape and the pace was fine. I will definently return for more rounds. Great prices on TEE OFF will make that possible.

Nice day slow play

Played today and the weather was on the dreary side . Misty rain and overcast. The pace was a bit slow. Foursomes with singles in between caused alot of the slowdown. If they were put in groups the pace would have been much better. We invited a single to join us to speed up the pace. Still a good day on the course.

Good round after a rain

NN Golf Course (Deer Run) has its challenges and is a nice course to play. The course was in good shape. The pace was a bit slow but we made it through in a little over 5 hours. If given the choice and with the TEE OFF rate I would play it again.

Wet but beats a day inside

Hadn't played here in years but it was a good day on the course. It was really wet. The front was cart path and back 90 degrees. Still had a blast on the course with our crew. Will surely rerun when the weather is nicer. Staff was friendly and professional. Can't do anything about the rain season just be glad it didn't snow.

No clear communications

To start COVID is alive and well in our area. So I tend to play courses that offer single carts over those that don't. Before I booked I looked on the courses website and asked the questions about single carts and was told yes they do. So I went to tee off and booked. Only to arrIive and find that they charged us addition $ for single carts. I informed them that someone on the web site told me they did single carts. They told me it came from tee off and not them even though I went to their site to ask the question. It came from tee off. No one from management came to address the issue had to discuss with the clerk at the desk. Who insisted I communicated with tee off and not them. I was giving false and misleading information that if I would have been told the truth may have selected another course that had seperate carts or I could walk. And to top it off there was always enough carts in the stagging area to support us. In matters where bad info is giving shouldn't the customer receive the benefit and not the course. Since already had my money I stayed but was not happy and it effected my play for the day. The traps were in poor condition no sand and trenches in 95% of them.

A nice public course

Took the lady to practice her skills and it was a nice short couse with just enough water and sand to keep you honest. For my first time it was a nice change of pace.

Beautiful course

We have wanted to play this course for years. When we saw the itbon golf now fir less than 50 dollars And the weather forecast was good it was a no brainier!
First impression was oh oh! Gravel cart paths. But after visiting the clubhouse, Joe, the assistant golf pro, put us at ease and explained the course layout to us. We had a great day of golf on a beautiful course. One of the nicest in the area so far. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to play there again and will keep my eyes peeled for the next great rate. Thanks golf now.

I will play this course again

To begin my re view it rained heavily in the area a day prior to our play day. Course was cart-path-only. Usually, not a good thing, but it turned out to be a good day. The weather was nice the course was not really that wet. The greens on the first couple of holes were not in the best of shape, but the back 9 played very nice. I chose Yorktown because it was the more challenging of the two. I'll have to return to see if that is correct. Rate on Golf Now was very good. We are already looking for dates to return to play the Williamsburg course.

Beautiful day on a beautiful course

This was my first time playing this course. I've played other course in the area and I think this one has made it to the top 5 to date. Got a great price on GOLFNOW and couldn't pass up the opportunity. I would have rated the course higher but for the aeration of the greens. Upon arrival the facilities were clean and the staff members were pleasant and eager to help. We started on time and finished in four hours which was a good pace on this course. The first three holes are good warm ups for what's to come. Holes 4 and 5 will make you lose your mind; what a layout! Many tee shots over gorges and blind second lay-up shots to the greens. The greens were aerated and sanded, that's maybe why the price was as good as it was. The practice facility was well maintained and the practice greens were identical to the ones on the course. All-in-all I had a blast playing this course and will have my eyes on GOLFNOW for another opportunity to play it again, hoping to get another crack when the fare ways green up. Recently I've been playing a lot of courses in the VA Beach area because of good bargains, but if I can continue to see opportunities like this one on the peninsula the drive to courses on the south side, through the tunnel will be a road less travelled.
Thanks again GOLFOW and Colonial Heritage I hope to see you again soon.

Nice Course with some challenges

I saw this course Golf Now for a good price and decided to give it a chance. It had recently rained but the temperature was good so we gave it a whirl. The staff told us about three of the holes were cart path only. This turned out to be about eight of the eighteen holes! It is a course that I would like to play again because it has some interesting and challenging holes. Next time I will wait for more favorable conditions. The staff and snack bar attendant were pleasant. Be sure to always take your receipt from golfnow, as the courses don't always receive your reservation.
