I have played Battlefield quite often over the last couple of years, and it continues to have very good conditions, as well as a good value or affordability for a round of golf. One disappointing aspect is that they still have a temporary clubhouse and temporary (gravel) parking lot after all these years.

It’s a good layout and challenging for any golfer. Greens are very firm and fast, plus most are small in size. Recommend this course to anyone.

Bow Creek is basically a neighborhood golf course that was modified back in the 1990’s to address some drainage problems in the area. Those changes made some of the holes a bit cramped with additional par 3’s, but even so it is a fun course and has it’s challenges. With reasonable green fees, it’s a nice surprise for many and while I hadn’t played there in a couple of years, it was nice to play it again. Worth your time to try it.

I have played at Kempsville Greens many times and I always enjoy playing there. They do a pretty good job at course maintenance and conditions. It was a nice day and I had a good time with my playing partner, Devon, who they paired me with. I had a good value with a TeeOff rate of $23.

Good value for the price.

I found a special rate on TeeOff, and the course was in good condition. They still haven't fixed the problem on Hole #3, which has pockets of ponding due to flooding. The outfall elevation for Redwing Lake needs to be lowered!

I have played here a number of times over the past year or two. The course is very well maintained, especially the greens. Firm, and true-reading greens, but smaller sized. Places a premium on accuracy of approach shots. A good course and good value for the money.

My second shot on the 18th!

I have played Redwing Lake GC many times over the years. I remember playing there not long after it first opened many years ago, and it has always been an enjoyable course...even after the significant rework with added lakes back in the 1990's!

The one thing that is a glaring issue is the need to rework Hole #3. They have moved all the tees up to within around 130 yards of the green and designated it as a Par 3 due to the excessive ponding that has developed over the past few years with significant water standing throughout the fairway. It really should be fixed and the solution is NOT to try and drain it since the adjacent lake level is too high. I suggest that the entire fairway be raised with fill (maybe also requiring the green be raised as well) and sloped to drain to the lake adjacent to the original tee boxes. That would restore that hole to a par 4.

Hopefully, something can be done to fix that hole.

The fairways were in pretty good shape, except for hole #3. That hole needs to be fixed. Probably the best solution would be to bring in lots of fill/dirt and completely raise the entire fairway to get rid of the ponds that have developed over time. There’s no reason why they can’t fix that hole and restore it to a regular par 4…not a modified par3.

All of the greens were in good shape, except for the green on #13 (the par 5). The weeds should be eliminated and the entire green smoothed out.

Everything else is in good condition.

Next time I’ll try to remember to take pictures of the conditions that I’m describing.

I have played Battlefield for the past few weeks and it has been in very good condition, as well as a competitive layout.

This is a nice golf course and it’s a great value for the money. Give it a try if you haven’t played here before, or haven’t played in a while. I hadn’t played here for over 2-3 years, and I was pleasantly surprised with the good conditions and the reasonable fees.

Battlefield Golf Course is in very good condition, especially the greens, and it plays very well for all levels of golfers. It is a reasonably priced facility and well maintained.

I got a really great rate through TeeOff, but the greens were aerated, so that’s probably why. The rest of the course was in good condition, and even though it was hot today, the playing conditions were pretty good. There was some occasional slow play, but not overly bad.

Kempsville Greens offers a nice course at a good value for your money. The front nine is a good layout, while the back nine was modified considerably many years ago when the City allowed denser housing development and that caused the severe modifications. There still are a few things that could be done to improve the layout for a better golf experience. For example, the tee box on #15 showed be moved to the leg and back several yards.

Stumpy Lake Golf Course is a nice layout and not too difficult for the average golfer. An enjoyable environment and atmosphere. Good price and value.

I found an excellent price on TeeOff for this course, which was hard to pass up. Unfortunately, when I got there, I learned that the front nine was closed for aerating, so I had to play the back nine twice.

There were goats around the 16th green, that that also meant goat droppings on the green! Not too nice to putt through.

Today’s weather was great for this far into December. It was in the mid-60’s and Red Wing Lake Golf Course was in very good shape. The course was in very good condition, but pace of play was kind of slow. For the value of the fees, it was a very good deal.

Stumpy Lake is kept in very good condition and the greens are especially well maintained, so you get a smooth roll and slope. I got an excellent price through TeeOff (same as GolfNoow), so it’s good to play a nice course in decent condition for as excellent price.

I have played at Redwing Lake for many years and it is usually in good shape and offers a challenge to golfers of all abilities. I usually try to schedule Tee Times through TeeOff for special rates. I recommend using that for finding good deals.

It wasn’t too bad a value for the price paid. However, there were two consecutive holes on the back nine that were closed for play. This was never mentioned to me when I checked in. We played an extra two holes to make up for it. There also was a tremendous amount of Navy jets flying around doing “touch and go” at nearby Fentress Naval Airfield” that made play difficult.

The fairways were in pretty good shape, but the greens were in a terrible condition. Lots of bare spots and grass was better on fairways than the greens. Also, the course was pretty soggy with moderate amount of rain the previous day. It made for muddy conditions.
