The Lamberts Point Golf Course
About
Lambert's Point Golf Club in Norfolk sits along the banks of the Elizabeth River, offering scenic river views from every one of its nine holes. The course is located on Old Dominion University's campus, doubling as the training facility for the school's golf team. The layout has a traditional links-style design that will challenge even low handicappers. It has all the challenges of a full-length golf course with dramatically rolling terrain that causes tricky uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies. It's a very tight course, which means that shot placement will be an important factor on every hole. While you may not need a driver, accuracy is a necessity. Even slightly errant shots will be severely penalized. Before tackling Lambert's Point golf course, you can use the impressive double-story, covered driving range for warming up.

Great course to avoid
They carved a course of of an industrial dump. Great views of the river but that about the last positive thing I can say, This is a gimmicky 9 hole course in an industrial setting surrounded by coal piers , cranes and heavy industry.I'm not sure where they got the top soil to built this thing but we say blue/green (apparently toxic) waste water seeping out of the hillsides. No sand in any of the bunkers just mud and rocks. ,The layout is an perfect invitation to get bonked by golf balls from adjacent fairways. We constantly say balls in our fairway particularly on holes one and nine. Wear a hard hat and body armor. The is a squirrely mix of tight fairways blind shots and crazy dog legs. The only things this place needs is a windmills and clown head. My cart died on hole #03 I called the clubhouse to let them know and they said they would sent a replacement cart out. Well no such luck, we ended up manually pushing the dang thing up hills and with the 2nd cart all the way back to the clubhouse two hours later. There was a 6 inch deep hole right off the cart path on number 4, which I stepped in twisting my ankle, tweaking my back and tumbling down a hill put soiling my new golf slacks.
I experimented with taking my group to this facility because of a hot deal on Golf Now it was cheap, , other than the price I can't find anything positive to review. this is city golf, a contradiction in terms by nature. Spend the money and go to a real course.
poor layout
course is extreme up hill/downhill and fairways are extremely hilly. most of the time could not see where ball landed or where the green was. greens were very bad.
Lamberts Point
Course was in rough shape. Bunkers and greens very poor. Really cool course layout that is pretty challenging and the views of the river are really nice but the greens were dreadful.
tee surrounds and sand traps wasn't maintenance at all. Sand traps was covered fully weeds; Tee surrounds there are barely fine grass and rough.
It would be so much nicer if it was kept up nice. Some fun holes and some challenges in the layout accompanied by some nice views on the water, but close to mediocre conditions. Fairways had some weeds and the bunkers are full of weeds and look like concrete. The greens were brown and some dirt and sand in play.
The driving range and practice area is nice but course needs love.
Some more upkeep on the 9 hole course and it would be a great course overall.
Great for practice
If you are breaking in new irons this is an excellent course. Greens are not worth even trying to putt on. Saving a great deal of time by not putting I was able to play 2,3, even 4 shots from tees/fairways. I was the only one on the course so I took my time and definitely got my money’s worth. If you are looking to keep score, stay away. If you want to get in some excellent practice, this is the course for you.
Great value
Haven't played in about 7 years and was never any good at golf. Enjoy waking the around with my son a blast every time.
First time
Was surprised by the conditions. No sand in bunkers.
Greens were patchy. Could be a decent venue but not on that day.
Don’t bother
Driving blind on almost all tees, pencil thin fair ways, disgusting bunkers, greens are patchy and poorly maintained.
Adequate but not exceptional
Course is closing permanently so no real maintenance. Could be a great course but not now
