Hillsborough Country Club
Played On 09/03/2019Cow pasture with fast greens
Was in the area so we decided to play this course. Meandering thru corn fields to get there was the tip off. The first sign you see at the "clubhouse" is "NO COOLERS, NO BYOB" in very large caps. No beverage cart roaming the coarse, and bottled water on only 2 holes. I will not venture out on a summer day and rely on the course to keep me hydrated!
Course conditions:
GREENS: good shape, very fast, unfair pin positions on at least 6 holes.
FAIRWAYS: tattered, mixed grasses, bare in many areas.
TEES: decent shape. some locations were head scratchers.
LAYOUT: why the course designer would pick this tract (the side of a mountain) is beyond me.
It was really not even worth the "deal" price of $26 with cart. Will not come back here again, and will only recommend it to friends I have a beef with :-)
Nansemond River Golf Club
Played On 4/5/2013Nice layout, windy, friendly staff, under a bit of construction tho
Was worth the drive from Virginia Beach west thru Norfolk/Portsmouth traffic, especially after snagging cheap greens fees/cart ($16) on GolfNow.com. The finishing holes 16, 17, and 18 are a very nice finish: a short but tough par3, a short par4 but the approach to an island green is daunting, and the split fairway and tight green on the par5 18th offers a few different options coming in. The wind off the Nansemond River was constant and affected almost every shot on the back nine.
