Dirt Lot Avoid

The course is in horrible condition. All dead grass on every fairway and many places where it's just hard pan dirt. I will not play here again.

Pavement

Would have been better to golf in the street. Tee boxes are bunkers and every bunker hasn’t been raked in a decade. Should be $5 max to play here.

8th IGood value

Considering it is early February the course was in pretty good shape. The fairways are thin and work needs to be done to get them into better playing condition. The greens are very good and carry good speed. The tees are a little rough but they are being worked on. The sand bunkers (those with sand) are generally in good playing condition and progress is being made to bring them all into conformance. Overall, satisfied with the experience.

Great condition for winter golf

While most other muni courses in the area are struggling with greens management Ocean View GC has managed to keep the greens in excellent condition at this time in February. They had a crew out working hard to control weeds and general grounds keeping.
Pace of play was a little slow since it was a balmy 72 degrees in Va Beach. A little over 4 hours to complete 18 with cart.
I have played this course about a dozen times and the course layout is nice. Only a few holes have houses to be concerned with. A few tight lies, but overall a pretty forgiving course.
I'll definitely be back again.

Rough Condition

For starters the course crammed all the people they could on to the tee sheet. No separation or space between groups. The tee boxes we mostly comprised of sand and the greens were rough as well. For the money it wasn't terrible as far as course conditions go but the pace of play was absolutely ridiculous. I would never come to this course unless you have an entire day to waste on a subpar course.

Nice course

First time playing this course and enjoyed the experience.Staff at the pro shop were friendly and helpful.The course itself is in good condition with the greens in very good shape after aeration.Tee boxes need a bit of attention but not too bad.The fairways are wide and not all the par fours need a driver off the tee.
The main gripe I would have is that there is not any yardage markers on the fairways and it would be nice if there was red white and blue stakes or markings to give you distance to the greens.Not everyone has a range finder.
Pace of play was great for a Tuesday afternoon and was finished in under 3 hours.
Would recommend this place to anyone in the area .

Poor conditions

Tee boxes are mainly sand and all of the greens were very bumpy.Course layout is ok with a few shot par fours.The course was very dry and some strange bounces and runouts even when you hit the fairways
Staff was friendly and the pace of play was good as we finished in just over 4 hours.
Don’t know where they got the name Ocean View because there are no views of the ocean anywhere on the golf course.
If you are in the area give this place a look but I wouldn’t want to travel too far to play there
