Great value

Came earlier than tee time. No problem getting out early. Started as single hooked up with 2 other singles. Pace was excellent, 3.5 hours. Course in good shape. Fairways good. Greens hard and fast. Tricky layout. I Don't think they understand the concept of straight. Everything around a bend. Lots of moguls and tough Bermuda grass. Fun day, super hot weather, but would love to play again. .driving range was a welcome site. Great staff.

Waste Bunkering gone

The only negative thing I would say about course is all the great waste Bunkering that Pete Dye put in is gone. They grew thin fescue grass in all those areas and it takes away The visual Tightness that Dye is famous for off the tee. Otherwise it's still a very nice Course

This is a great place to play !!!

After reading some reviews I thought that this course was struggling, but that is so far from the truth. The course was in terrific shape from tee to green. If you've ever played a Pete Dye layout then you know what you're getting. Risk reward shots, visually intimidating at times and always giving you a good fair chance for a par. I loved the layout and will play this course when in the Virginia Beach area. Large practice putting green. A well designed chipping green and grass teeing area on the driving range. If you're looking for a beautiful place to play you will enjoy VB National !!!!

Play somewhere else

The fairways were not in the best shape. By the fifth hole I was stuck behind a seven some and had to call clubhouse to try to get a marshal to resolve the pace of play issue. Noting was resolved by the staff, I was lucky they stopped at the turn. For the money play Calhoun plantation by far the best course in area and it is same price.

VB National 4242016

Played Virginia Beach National which was a TPC course for the PGA Men. The weather was excellent, the greens were fast but the fairways were slow. The grass has not really grown in yet because it has been a cold Spring.

For a course in Virginia Beach, it has a surprising number of hills and valleys built into it.

Solid design marred by weak conditions.

A very good layout, VA Beach National needs some TLC. Pricier than other courses in the area, I expected top notch conditions, but I was disappointed. Bermuda was dormant, but that didn't hide the many bare patches on the fairways. Rental clubs were older Titleists, but decent clubs.

Dissapointed

Arrived early on rain threatened day booked via a Golf Now Hot Tee Time deal and Pro Shop Attendant allowed us to start 45 minutes earlier since there was hardly anyone on the course. Many thanks to him for that accomodation. Very Nice Club House and well stocked Pro Shop.

Had played the course about 8 years earlier on a vacation and rebooked again because we remembered the the course had a nice challenging layout. Unfortunately, the course conditions have deteriorated significantly since the last time we were there. Greens were a nice speed but dotted with ball marks that looked unatteded to, so it was tough getting a true roll. Bunkers were in poor condition and the waste areas which were the trademark of this course in terms of aesthetics have essentially been given up for dead with virtually complete weed infestation. Fairways okay, but lots of weeds visable. Course is still challenging, but playable. Pace wasn't an issue because of the threatening weather and time of the year.

Overall, just disappointed with the conditions of the course for the money, even at the reduced Golf Now price. If you had to play one round in the area, pay an extra $20 and play at The Signiture at West Neck.

Enjoyable round of golf at VB National.

We really enjoyed our round of golf for the price! The course was in great shape, but the greens still suffer from neglect of patrons not repairing ball marks. The greens other than that were awesome!! I recommend the pro shop issue out divot tools upon check-in to golfers with a brief explanation to preserve the greens. Overall highly recommend VB National and look forward to playing it again!!

Course is in great shape

Challenging but fun course that is in great shape. I love a good challenge and this course definitely makes you think about what club to use off of the tee. Some of the holes made you pay with a bad tee shot to where you would have to hit a pretty big fade/slice on your 2nd to have a shot at the green or you would just have to hit high over the trees. A must play course in the area. It is always packed because it is one of the best courses in the area so it will take you a good 4 and a half hours to play. The only problem I had with the course is there were a few hole placements on the greens where if you didn't make the putt it would roll back to you and I didn't like that. The greens ate me alive (especially the back 9) as I am not a good putter so if you hate tough greens this isn't the course for you.

A decent "has been"

This course was once a thing of beauty a few years ago until the city of va beach took over. Now the sand traps are terrible, there are no real beautifully manicured sand waste areas like before and the greens are nice but pitted with ball marks from irresponsible players. It is still a nice layout and a decent place to play for your money. I played as a threesome on a beautiful Friday afternoon and pace of play was terrible at just under 5 hrs for 18 holes.

great course

the course as maintained very well and they seemed to have plenty of people working on the course. the greens had recently been aerated and not healed fully, so the greens were a little bumpy. I highly recommend this course to play. five sets of tees offer golfers of all ability a challenge if they choose to do so.

Not worth the money

Course was in average condition. Used to be TPC and has not maintained to this degree. Pace was horribly slow and we were told by members that this unfortunately is very typical and management will not address the issue. Was expecting more and was very disappointed.

Great Course. Fun challenging layout.

Played with my buddies on vacation and we had a blast. I really enjoyed this Dye layout. Tee shots needed to placed in the fairways or pay the price. I would say this course overall favors those who hit a right handed draw so my natural fade made placement a little harder. Greens/fairways were in good shape. There were one or two tee boxes that were in ruff shape and the grounds keeper kept taking off the tee markers to mow right before we got to the box which was a little annoying but it didn't ruin the day. Overall for the money this is an awesome course.

FYI you will have military fighter jets flying overhead throughout the round (seems common in any course in that area) and there is construction/clearing going on in the adjacent property next to the 9th & 10th holes. Neither bothered us.
