Chesapeake Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Chesapeake Golf Club sits tucked away in the idyllic village of Las Gaviotas, conveniently situated just 15 minutes from downtown Norfolk. Boasting some of the best greens in the Tidewater area, the club offers the amenities of a private club with the fees of a public golf course. The layout will challenge you with rolling fairways and tricky doglegs. Water hazards come into play frequently so be prepared for a few intimidating blind shots over water. Mature trees line the rolling fairways and there are also strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greensides. The manageable 6,278-yard length is approachable for beginners yet there are still holes that long hitters will enjoy. Chesapeake Golf Club is a course that will test your skills but it's not overly punishing for the high handicapper.

Green on the back nine. Pretty representative of a fair number of greens. Photo submitted by marcpeot on 06/09/2024

March 1st
Yes, it was March 1 but the greens were filled with divots and holes and bumps like Mars surface
Have heard they’re just here for the money on the golf course and I can see that
Food they only had a little bit of food in the morning and by 1 o’clock they were out of food
Not enough employees to help and assist the front desk person
Just not a good experience, especially for $45 a person
Not worth it
I wish they would inform the player of the horrible greens. Definitely should’ve had a discounted rate to play here.
What am I paying for?
$50 round of golf to play on terrible greens and fairways covered in leaves that fell months ago. This place is not worth the money. Where does everyone’s green fees go toward?
Can see that they are attempting to improve the greens. Cups have not been moved in weeks so the grass is growing in and narrowing the size of the cups. Actually enjoy the layout, but there is lots of work to do before I would want to pay full price for a round. Sale price and convenience are what brought me here mostly. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Terrible greens
Shouldn’t be charging that much for how awful the greens were. At least notify us before charging.
Practically unplayable Conditions
Sorry, but your greens were mostly dirt or sand with spots of grass. The golf cart you had us take was in terrible condition, torn seat, and the wheel literally fell off before we left the parking lot. The second cart did make it through the course... Time for a complete renovation if this course is going to continue to stay open!
Horrible Conditions
Played a couple days ago and those were the worst conditions I have ever seen. Should definitely shut the course down for a while. I would feel comfortable taking money with the greens in that shape.
Greens are Horrible
Used to play here all the time but as of recent the greens are unplayable. Wouldn’t spend full price to play on greens like these.
