Great Course

This is a very underrated course. I've played most courses in the city and was a member of one of the most exclusive clubs in the city. Red Wing is simply one of the best. A long, championship-type course that is challenging for top-level players and mid-level. Perhaps too challenging for beginners. I put this up with Virginia Beach National as a comparison: both long and tough. There is some forgiveness, but not a lot.

Great Course

Red Wing is one of the best golf courses in the Virginia Beach area. Very long (pro-level distance) and challenging. You can scramble on this course, which is important to my game and also fun.

Really a good, fun, engaging course to play. The par 5s are long, long, long (550+ yards).

The Downslide

Hells Point used to be a great golf course. Very challenging; long; pretty course. However, time, as well as limited budgets and poor ownership, have left this course in decrepit shape. In fact, I can't remember playing a course in such poor shape. Ever. The greens are blotchy and difficult to get a fair roll. Traps in horrible shape. Parts of greens and the course are cordoned off for "maintenance" but it doesn't look like they plan on improving those areas. They are just roped off. This is too bad because it is a nice, challenging course. But without new revenue and management, Hells Point is not likely to return to its former standing as one of Virginia Beach's best courses. Bottom Line: it's cheap for a reason. Still challenging, though.
