"Service and food are amazing!! The prices are reasonable and the food options are great. Cocktails are pretty darn good too! I will definitely be back. The atmosphere is beautiful nestled in the green golf course and lush trees."
"I purchased my boyfriend a membership here last year for his birthday present and he loved it! This is not the fanciest or the most well-maintained golf course in the area - but it is pretty and quiet and chill. It's the "local's course" for those who live in Lago Mar and on Sandbridge road and most of the people know one another. There is a driving/practice range, and there are golf carts available for $20, it's a full 18-hole course and goes deep into the Back Bay area so it tends to flood when it rains a lot and gets boggy and muddy - because of this the greens are not as pristine as other courses and are not in as good of shape. It's basically in swampland. There are also a lot of wild animals who roam around - like goats, deer, geese, etc. who you'll see on the course. My boyfriend always texted me photos of them while he was playing. The employees are friendly and helpful and they have a small pro shop, a cafe open in warmer months with outdoor patio seating, and have members tournaments every year. If you want to have a good time but are OK with it not being the nicest and fanciest course you'll ever play, it's a good place to come in the AM if you live nearby and play a quick 18 holes."
"I'm no professional but I found this course to be the best I've played in the Commonwealth so far. The course expectably maintained and incredibly serene with bridges and winding cart paths designed to surreptitiously moves you from one hole to another. Very little housing development along the fairways coupled turns taking you from one to another makes it incredibly quiet and relaxing. Ranges: Unfortunately, I was there as part of the staff for our tournament as well as play in it...so having to help work the check-in I never had a chance to make it to the ranges so I cannot make a comment at this point and time.Fairways: These Fairway's are some of the best I've seen. Extremely well maintained and designed. If you're a scratch golfer that can hit it off the tee 250yds or more you'll enjoy this course. Most of the holes have a challenging turn, hazards or slopes with many of them having all 3. Drops from the tee box on the shorter par 3's and well-placed bunkers around the green make every hole a challenging one. The thick tall vegetation and forest surrounding the fairways is both beautiful and unforgiving for balls that took a wayward flight off the fairway. All that said, I felt like the peacefulness of the course made us play above our norms. Greens: Varied in size, slope and bunkers making everyone of them requiring a carefully placed shot. However, being impeccably cared green makes it easier to deal with the one that got away or was sucked into the sand trap by mysterious wind vacuums I seem to always encounter.Service: After reading a review from a trusted Yelper and expert golfer I was a little hesitant on having Viniterra host our tournament but I think they took his Yelp to heart because it was a complete 180 from his experience, which tells me Yelp works for patrons, business owners and staff. Admittedly, there's a difference in the customer service from the winery next door, which was outstanding, and the golf course...but not too much. The golf staff was all friendly, helpful and encouraging on our return the following year. They helped us set up our tables, had a solid pre tournament review of the rules and send off, and got everything set for post event activities while we played the course. To answer their question...yes we will definitely be going back next year. Overall: I loved this course and its tranquil surroundings. Despite my not having the opportunity to rate the ranges (driving, putting and chipping/sand) I'm going out on a limb and giving them 5 Stars. That said, I look forward to returning for another game and reviewing them then."
"We had a morning tee time (8) for 9 holes since it was forecasted to be a hot one. Good decision. They were starting everyone on the back 9. See where the course name came from as they actually have Bee Hives (Holes 15-18 but we didn't see any Bees.)Course is in good shape with a good amount of trees, not too much water and next to a residential area for some of the holes.We rented a couple of sets of clubs that were in ok shape. Putting Greens were a good size and I saw a driving range. Three of us and we were paired with another person which worked out well. They have a Grill serving sandwiches, Burgers and a few small plates.Attendant was friendly. About 25 minutes from the Beach (34th). Another good Golf option at the beach."
"One of the best kept courses in Tidewater. Even when I played this course in January in the freezing ass cold this course was in great shape. Six months later with warm weather and green grass all over anyone can enjoy this course.It's a great layout that is challenging yet not terribly hard. The greens roll absolutely perfect. Not one time during our tournament round did anyone complain about a bump in the green.Hole #9 is my favorite as your approach shot has to travel over water. It makes for a nice view. Since it is in NC you can expect the wind to really blow on this course.I forgot my golf shoes back in VA and was able to pick up a pair in the clubhouse without any hassle. For a golf course they had a decent shoe selection.They do have a restaurant on the golf course called Tucker's. It's a bar with several seats to fit foursomes who want a food and a beer after a fun round.It looks like my golf tour will return to this course next year. I shot 74 and won my flight!"
"I only used the driving range, practice green and pro-shop. They have a good pro-shop and restaurant. We had to wait 30 minutes for driving range balls. Apparently there was a mechanical issue with the ball collecting machine. The driving range did not use the turf ties. They used the grass areas. That is ok but the ground gets chewed up. They have cold water and paper cups at the driving range. It was hot without sun shelter except for the trees on the side. Large bucket only $11."
"Played both courses this week and absolutely love the Yorktown course. Jamestown (Nicklaus) course is ok, but Yorktown would be my choice always! Beautiful course, great shape! Green a little slow, but loved it! Food was very good and prices reasonable in the Nicklaus Grill. Staff was a+, start to finish!"
"The golf course displayed a mix of well-maintained areas and some that appeared to require attention. The staff was notably courteous and accommodating. Being in close proximity to houses offers convenience for residents, but it also calls for diligent management to ensure minimal disruptions for golf players."

Played here while on vacation a couple weeks ago. The golf course was in good shape after some heavy rains the day before. For how much standing water there was the greens were in good shape. Paid $195 for 2 golfers and felt like for being near the beach we probably couldn't find a better value. The lay out was good, some tight holes with plenty of water. I'd come back here to play if I was in the area again

This is a generous 3 star rating. I don't want to bash the course because I didn't have an overall bad experience.However, if you're a semi to serious golfer this is not the course for you. The greens and tees are unkept, hardly mowed, and look terrible. The service was good and the BLT was delicious at the turn. It only cost $29 for 18 and a cart so I guess you get what you pay for.Also, the layout is well designed. Had this course been maintained, it would be a destination type place...

Enjoyed a beautiful day on the golf course with my buddy yesterday. I was able to use my gift card I received from my girlfriend. Super easy process and the staff were very friendly and informative about the course. It was my first time there and I will definitely be going back.The tips were lonnnnng, the blues were lonnnnng and the greens (what we played) were still a tad long and challenging but overall I really enjoyed the challenge. Just frustrating at times! I loved all the different tee options too. Great conditions. The greens were under maintenance, so a little bumpy but they actually played really well considering the conditions. I make sure you book online. They have great deals at great times!

Beautiful scenery, great service, and overall excellent experience. Staff at the desk/pro shop are always so helpful and the bar/restaurant area makes sure you're set for a good time. Love this course when I'm in town!

The Jamestown course was closed for renovation. The Yorktown course was in rough shape. Starter explained that it was under new ownership and that the previous owner did not do proper up keep. He was hopeful that by next year the course would be back in good shape. So I will hold off until next year and maybe try it again.

Fun quick course in Chesapeake. The greens were a little hard but playable, houses lined a majority of the course and the fairways and bunkers were well maintained. There were three golfers infront of us that had no golf etiquette, ended up having to jump a hole past them as they were on at least a 4 hour pace, and taking multiple hits off the tee box. Interacted with another golfer after and he was just as Unfriendly. The staff was super friendly and the prices were affordable, definitely adding this gem into my regular golf rotation.

"Teed it up there early Saturday morning for a going away outing for one of my best golf buddies. I've always been a fan of this place. They have a practice putting green, chipping green and driving range --- all large enough for several people to practice and not be all over each other. The course is always in great condition and is one of the longest and most challenging tracks in the area.They just did some renovations to the clubhouse. Decent design at best; simple and what you would expect at a city course (now privately owned). They have a decent selection of products to buy in their pro shop. Not a place where you can hang out for a long time since seating is limited but large enough to call all your bets while munching on a hot dog.What I hate about this place (and most golf courses) on lakes are the bugs. I've never seen a mosquito soooooo big in my life!Outside of that I'll be back to this course to sling some golf matches!"
"This is a very fun course to play. I always enjoy my time because this course has lots to offer.Clubhouse: Nothing extravagant. It's not so high end you feel out of place but it's certainly better than a city course. Friendly staff. There's a nice bar/restaurant. The pro shop sells lots of pretty things.Driving range: You get to hit off of grass. It's an open field so target practice become difficult. When the space is wide open, every shot appears to be a good shot even if it's off several yards.Golf course:- Tee boxes and fairways - these are always in great condition- Greens - these are soft (so if you spin the ball these are your friends), roll about a 9/10 on the stimpmeter, and you get a fair amount of undulation- Bunkers - I was in them a lot today and all had ample amounts of sand- Course layout - Again, this golf course is fun to play. It doesn't play overly difficult despite playing a little bit of up and down hills. Intermediate and experienced golfers would enjoy this course. Also, it's not one of those courses where you can lose a lot of golf balls. Errant shots can easily be found.Overall, a golf course I wouldn't mind going back to whether it's a tournament or to hang with my golf squad. I've been going to this place since 1999. I plan to continue playing this course at least once a year.We played today for only $29/person. That's a steal!"
"Would definitely rate this over battlefield golf club. Very reasonably priced, solid carts, nice driving range/practice area. Course grounds regularly seem well groomed and taken care of. Pro shop is well stocked and they have a nice little food area connected in the main club house.It is surrounded by homes so that's to be considered if you have a wicked slice. It's a decent course even for those with potentially not as much golfing experience and looking to get into the sport or just take on a new hobby. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend it during the week as the many times I've gone during the week, it hasn't been packed and we've been able to play at a leisurely pace."
"This is one of my favorite Municipal Golf Courses in the area. The greens fees are not expensive and the course is in consistently good shape.I've been playing golf at Ocean View Golf Course since I was a teenager and even though the golf course has changed over the years, it has only gotten better."
"Everyone has a bad day and I'm sure that starter doesn't even work there anymore. I'm willing to give it a second chance."
"I don't get out this way often enough but when I do, and there's time, I really enjoy hitting the links at Suffolk Golf Course. I like in Chesapeake so it's an easy drive over there from my house. The course is in great shape and this place is extremely well maintained and managed. I've seen issues handled before they become issues. The starters and rangers are all on top of things. This makes for a very pleasant experience."
"Wow. This place is soooo cool. I used the driving range a few years ago and chipped and putt at their practice facility once. I've never played the course until today. It's an absolute hidden gem and I get to play for only $15 as part of my membership with the Hampton Roads Golf Club.Here you go:*Clubhouse - nothing special. I don't hang out at a golf course so this part doesn't really matter.*Practice facility - there's a separate chipping and putting green. Both roll great with a good amount of undulation.*Driving range - there's an upper and lower deck. You have to hit off mats. Irons only on the top deck. Great view from the top deck.*Course - It's a nine hole golf course that is VERY challenging. Lots of blind spots. The greens have a ton of undulation. There are great views on just about every hole.I can't wait to go back because playing a course like this will certainly help improve your game."
"Not a bad course. Nice staff. Hopefully the fairways will become green in the summer. It was all gray grass except the putting green. Reasonable price. Short course 5844 yds with par 70."
"This golf course is in great condition especially since it's December. As you can expect the only that on the golf course that is green are the greens. Everything else resembles the fall/winter color change. Still, this place is in excellent condition. I've always particularly liked this course. The greens were a little slow Saturday but not one time did anyone in my group complain about how the greens were rolling...always a good sign. Keep the condition like this throughout the cold months and the summer of 2013 will sure be fun!"
"Not bad for the price. The course is set up a little weird, but overall had a great time with my boyfriend hitting 18 holes. I'd recommend coming if you're a beginner."
