Nansemond River Golf Club

Nansemomd is evidently a native American term for "waiting to hit." At one point on front nine, 3 different groups were lined up at tee box. When I asked the marshall what the issue was, he said everybody teed off at same time....as if that isn't the starter's responsibility to prevent. Marshall didn't seem to encourage slow groups to speed up. At one point, the marshall picked up a partner's ball that was in play by green....handed it to player and said it was lying over there. Wow. Range was demolished. Every hole was cut to front, often 3 paces on. Some pretty holes but I vow to never play this course again. Way too slow.

Greatest bang for the buck. I played for $15! Love the course! Love the deal!

I enjoyed pkaying Nansmond River Golf Course. Fairways were plush and the greens rolled fast. One of the better courses in the area.

I don't like to give poor ratings to courses given all the challenges it takes nowadays to run a course, however, the course is not being maintained compared to a former standard it had years ago. Simply, there is no green grass on the fairway or rough. The course was very dry, dusty actually. Sure it helps the roll but honestly, I prefer not to hit off hard pan. The greens were much better than the fairways. I'd rate them as above average. I play many courses in the area and found this to be in worst condition of them. The layout is challenging enough. But you can find much better conditions within 20 minutes of this course. I hope it improves, but will not play it, till I see a better review.

Played in early Spring, so fairways were not great, but course was very nice - I plan to go back when the grass comes in.

Really fun round of golf. The course was in great condition for January! Greens rolled great and were receptive. Fairways weren't sloppy and balls were bouncing. And 17 never disappoints!

played this course for the first time. it is well laid out and fun. we really enjoyed it from start to finish. scenery was nice. some deer running around. holes 16 and 17 were really enjoyable. we will play here again soon. we had a great time.

Make sure you bring gps or range finder as there is no yardage books...that is the only negative.....i enjoy playing this course at least twice a month.

Course was in ok shape. Granted I did play when they were aerating the greens but I'm not dinging them for that as I knew about that before I booked the tee time. Bunkers don't drain well and most were in pretty bad shape. All that being said it was overpriced and I got it with a special. Some of the holes are really fun though and provided a good challenge. Look through the trees to the right of the teebox on hole 17 and across the water and you might get lucky like me and get to see two bald eagles.

Great views greens were a little beat up but overall decent playing conditions
