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.

Stay Away!

Had a confirmed tee time for a single player for 7:18. Arrived at 7:00 and was told single players cannot go out until after 1:00. There was not anyone waiting to tee off. I go to Va Beach every year for the last 45 years. Probably have played here as a single for at least the last ten years. They need to be removed from the Golf Now app since they will not honor confirmed reservations. I live in the Myrtle Beach area. Golf capital of the world. Play three times a week. Never had this problem there. I am erasing the Golf Now app. Unreliable!

Not worth it

Got less than the number of balls for the range. Then staff argued with me about the 17 balls I received from the machine. Then they will not allow you to take a cart to pick up clubs from truck or take over to driving range. STUPID cause you can drive all over the parking lot when finished.
Bunkers are not manicured. Several area of the fairways were not cut. Ranks about as good as Kempsville but 2x the money.
Willl not be ba ck

Great greens! Fairway need an assist!

The greens were quick and fun’. But the fairways are quite short. Maybe just the time of year…. We’re locals so we plan to make “HPGC” a go to for our group! Really enjoyed the course!

Good to play this course again

Played this course a bit stationed here. Was on a trip and decided to play again. Beautiful weather but the weather here has been dry and no rain so I can’t blame the course too much. The conditions were ok but a little dry around the bunkers and elevated tee boxes due to the dry climate Virginia Beach has right now. Staff were great to deal with. Can’t complain.

Downhill

It is located in a beautiful area, it’s one of those courses that is a great value for the money. I’m not sure what has happened in previous weeks but their new process is ridiculous.

I paid $19 to play a round of 18 ($10) promo code. Upon arrival 15 minutes prior to my tee time I was told it is a new rule to bring your clubs to the carts and you can no longer take a cart to your car to load up. ( I assume this is because of an ABC violation which is understandable) Beer is cheap, just go to the shop and it’s like $14 for 6

I had my girlfriend with me and I was told that she could not ride along with me (not playing golf) without paying the second cart fee. I have been to this course 3 times in the past 2 months and this has never been an issue. Ended up paying MORE for her to just ride in the cart ($20).

It is 5 minutes before my tee time and the gentleman refused to give me the cart key until my tee time. I had to sit in the cart for 5 minutes just to receive the key to drive it.

This is a course that you enjoy playing because it is cheap for the area and the conditions are decent.

This is NOT a country club, it is a place for everyone who wants to have a fun round of golf and not pay a ridiculous amount of money to do so. Very sad experience and I hope they relax on these new protocols.
