Hell's Point Golf Club

I am not one to voice negativity about a place, but I feel I have to write this due to the unfortunate last experience I had. I played this course many a time over the past few decades, and although the course was never really in the best of shape, I enjoyed the layout, the challenge, the relaxing nature and wildlife, along with fair pricing. The clubhouse was adequate enough, and the overall experience checked enough boxes to warrant coming back. I took a break from golf for several years due to a back surgery to which I heard the management changed and things were "weird now." My buddy was telling me how you couldn't take the cart to the range, etc. I finally got back to seeing for myself and found it annoying that you had to walk your bag up to the carts in order to start. I was also told by one of the employees that if you had a bag or pack with you, the manager would check it? That definitely made me not want to return, but I did with some friends giving it the benefit of the doubt. I was able to get a 1:15 tee time, and upon arrival, the course was fairly empty. No one out before us or behind. Once again, they were guarding the cart situation, making you feel very uncomfortable right away. They told us at check-in that we had to be done by 4:30, and I raised my eyebrow like "okay"? We went to load up our gear, and they wouldn't give us the key to the cart until we were all there, loaded and ready to go. We had one friend that was late, but they were pushing us to go out sooner. We told our friend to play and catch up to us since the course was pretty much empty. With us standing on the box at hole 2, here comes our buddy being driven out to us vs them allowing him to get a cart and play up to us as a single. Why not give him his own cart, charge us for the full 18, and skip his first hole? Then force us to be done with a 4-hour round on a tough course in 3:15 minutes? It had our buddy thrown for a loop, but we played on. As we got to hole 12, the manager made it a point to ride out and remind us he was stopping play at 4:30. We all looked at each other, stating "wow, they are really serious about this," which then forced us to play "speed golf," trying to finish the round. At that point, all play and strategy went out the window as we were firing shots without pause and could no longer count the round for a proper handicap read. It was hilarious but frustrating at the same time, trying to beat the clock. We made it off the box on hole sixteen, to which the other employer rode out and cut across the middle of our play and said, "This is your last hole," forcing us to stop. We were looking at each other, seeing we easily had enough light to play our last two holes, but he was in the cart, almost stalking us to get off. Again, why sell us 18 holes and force us to play it in 3:15 minutes? We all felt jipped, forced/rushed, and almost stalked just to play golf. As we pulled up to return the cart, both that employer and manager ( I assume it was him) were standing in the middle of the road as if he had better places to be and creating such an uncomfortable feeling. It is very unfortunate to write this review as the course has lots of potential. The new management, rule changes, and style of running the business, with it being pushed on to other employees, will unfortunately keep us from returning or recommending anyone to visit unless there are some modifications. The upkeep wouldn't hurt, but again, I've played this course in worse conditions and was okay with it because of the challenge and grind it was known for and wasn't treated in such a manner that made you feel uncomfortable right from the jump. Just unfortunate is all.

Only golf course I've seen in my life that doesn't allow you to take the cart to your vehicle to load up, come on man!Cart girls don't accept cash, no ATM on the grounds. Come on man!It's a gorgeous course, just a few little things could change. I might go back, might not.

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.

Course is in decent shape some of the tee boxes could you some love. I enjoyed my time playing 9 on vacation.

I love this place. It's not fancy it's not in the greatest condition, it gets soggy but still membership is $99 a year when you can play for $20 with a cart. The staff is awesome and I usually get to play at 6:30 in the morning by myself and finish in 2 1/2 hours. It's well laid out, and fun to play. You will lose a lot of balls if you don't hit it straight but can find more if you trek into the woods. Membership was given by a friend and I have chosen to renew it this year because it's a great place if you love to play but don't need fancy.

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...

This course used to be a favorite of mine. It's gone down over the years and after my most recent experience I won't be going back. They've implemented a silly rule where you can't take your cart to your car to load your bag, nor can you take the cart to the driving range. The tee boxes were in terrible condition and the rest of the course condition is just average, at best. Because of the price, poor tee boxes, and silly cart rule, I won't be going back.

This is the WORST experience I've ever had at a golf course. I'm a female collegiate golfer and I'm here for a mission trip so I needed a place to practice. When I went the first time one of the employees said he was "surprised to see a women carrying her own golf bag" and proceeded to act like they'd never seen a women play golf before. I went this morning to play 9 holes. They don't offer 9 hole rates and said I could pay for 18 and just get a rain check for the other 9 later this week. The man behind the counter told me I could pay for the 18 holes when I came back later this week so I started to play. On hole two another employee came out and told me that the owner said I needed to pay for the 18 holes now and that he needed my credit card. I told him I wasn't comfortable with a bunch of strangers taking my credit card and he said they would just hold it up front. 5 minutes later my card was charged for the entire 18 holes. He came back out with my card and told me I had to pay for 18 no matter how many holes I played. I said that they didn't inform me of that before so started and I only had time to play 9. He told me to just come back and talk to the owner. So after 3 holes I came back to the pro shop. The owner started treating me like a criminal and like I had purposely tried to play for free, when I told him what his employee told me the employee started to lie and say he never said any of that. Then they all started raising their voices at me (a 20 year old girl) and telling me no matter how much I played I will have to pay the full amount. They were so harsh I literally started crying in the pro shop and then they finally agreed to give me a refund. This is the worst experience I've ever had and this place is truly HELL.

Let me explain and please hang in there... THE OWNERS VERBALLY ASSAULTED ME OFF THE 15TH TEE.I am an EXTREME beginner golfer, my friend is in town and we are trying new courses. 1 for him, but 2 so I can find a good course to learn and practice on.This is my second local course. Again, extreme beginner.The course is having aeration done and many holes are closed, but you can loop around twice for 18. The paths are really bumpy but understandable considering the amount of trees. Off season of course the course is a bit mushy with rain and not very green, expected for our climate.While working our way through the course we had a woman approach us making sure we skipped ahead from there to 17 and 18. All I hear was just that. Apparently I had not heard the instruction to short cut to 17 from 11, so we took the path along all the holes.At 15 we got turned around and were turning around when the same woman approached us. Not so much approached, but flying in friggin' HAWT!!! She pulled up, blocking our cart to the side, and immediately jumped out with a raised voice because I had missed the instruction. Instead of providing us with proper instructions on how to proceed to 17 we were called liars, had flying fingers in our faces, and screams directly in our faces. Then along comes another person to get involved in an already heated situation. I was literally left crying.This is BEYOND ME!! Not only is this poor human decorum but to find out upon arrival at the clubhouse that THESE WERE THE OWNERS!!!!!!So to repeat. I am a beginner golfer on a course with variations to the hole progression. I get lost. My friend is not from here, also a first timer here at this course, gets lost. Instead of pleasantly guiding us to the correct path and tee, you screamed, told me to shut up, called me a liar, leaving me in tears and then followed us half way off the course.As a beginner golfer, this was frightening and not how you want to enter the world of what should be a relaxing experience and way to spend your time. Way to go owners. You should be absolutely ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!!!

The greens are good. Tee boxes suck. The fairways weren't too bad. Don't buy a hot dog from the snack bar. My friend puked it up.
