The Public Golf Courses
Virginia Beach Golfer provides the best public golf resource for the area. Whether your looking for a links, parkland, Carolina or oceanfront style golf course, you can find it here.
BATTLEFIELD
Opening in 2007 and built on 1.5 million tons of utility fly ash to create a semblance of elevations in the dead flat low land swamps of Chesapeake. The fairways have nice modern flow with sizable contouring and plenty of bunkering and grassy hollows. Most of the fill material was used to create the mounding between holes and build up the slightly elevated greens. The greens have some nice undulation but you won't find any tiering on these very small greens. There are a few spots where your might have up to forty feet of elevations but most of the course rolls and swails gently. The idea behind this course was to bring a links style course to the area full of Carolina style courses. The wind is usually a factor but perhaps not as much as if the course were actually on the ocean. For a links style course, there is a lot of water to contend with. Eight holes have large lakes or small ponds which must be carried or played around. Don't be fooled by the yardage, it is a par 70 not a par 72 and plenty long. Being so new, there is still a lot of growing in to do but good values can be had and the greens are very nice for such a young course.

BAY CREEK - NICKLAUS COURSE
A
great contrast to the Palmer Course. Superb routing where placement
will pay dividends. Especially on the though provoking par 5s. The sea side holes are a bear. The massively
uphill par 5 eleventh usually plays 2 extra clubs to the pedestal
green with the wind howling from behind. The par 4 thirteenth is
a monkey puzzle of a hole. It sits directly on the ocean and plays
in between dunes which seem to narrow to nothing. There is a green
up there somewhere hidden in the dunes. Full practice facility. Semi-private
since it alternates public access with members. One of the two Bay
Creek courses is always open to the public.

BAY CREEK - PALMER COURSE
The number one handicap hole par 4 third hole can
crush your enthusiasm early. Not only must
you get your tee shot far enough to have a
reasonable approach over the seaside lagoon, the
green is surround on both sides by trouble. The
par 5 eighteenth is probably the best and most
spectacular finishing hole in the region. A
straight tee shot down the middle, but not to
long, will leave a gamblers chance to get home in
two over the water and the menacing beach bunkers.
Playing a little right of the green might
yield a fortunate bounce onto the putting
surface. Full practice facility. Semi-private since
it alternates public access with members. One of the two Bay Creek

BIDE-A-WEE
You might not expect
a course with a silly name located in
the working class neighborhood's of south
Portsmouth to be of championship caliber. But
here it is. The Scottish name means to "stay a
while." Whenever Ault, Clark & Assoc. join
with Curtis Strange for a project, you can bet
lots of people do stay a while. The underlying terrain was not
remarkable and flat. But this design team utilized
the old corridors from the old course, saved the
majestic pines and oaks, dug nine lakes and ponds
and rebuilt this thing from the ground up. The
result is a wonderfully modern and playable
design. The fairways have been reworked to provide
some undulation and fine drainage. Around 50
bunkers and waste areas always give you something
to think about. And the slightly elevated greens
complexes feature grassy hollows and expertly placed mounding. There is always a good
side and bad side to miss your approach on. You
just won't get bored here and with a reasonable
price, you will be back.

CAHOON PLANTATION
A nice effort at a
Scottish style links course where they really
moved a lot of dirt here to create
wonderful separation, mounding and plateaued
greens. Without trees and a flat canvas, they
needed to create separation, mounding and
plateaued greens to give the course character. We
would say they succeeded. Even the fairways
have significant undulations and you may find
yourself behind a fairway swale with a partial
obstructed view as they like to do in the old
world. The par 5 eighteenth hole will be one to
remember.

CYPRESS CREEK
One of the most scenic courses in the area
with lots of elevations changes, lagoons, marsh
views and tall strands of pine and hardwoods mixed
with holes rolling over old peanut fields. Definitely
the best local effort by Curtis Strange and company. There
is some modest housing on the course, particularly
the front side, but it really does not detract
from the course. The course builds to a
crescendo with six finishing holes as
tough a stretch as you'll find in the area. Holes 15,
16 and 17 are some of the most photogenic holes your will find in
the area, not just in design, but is the pure nature surrounding
them. Finishing with a strong par 5 with vast bunkers and sentry
trees tops the experience.

HELL'S POINT
Most
of the courses in the area have a lowland feel. Hell's Point
goes one step further, it definitely provides the unique feeling
of solitude in the Virginia swamps, but in a good way. The course
has a lot of natural beauty with the surpisingly wide Hell's Point
Creek dissecting the course and the mature swamp pines framing every
hole. No housing in sight anywhere. This 1982 strategic design is showing its
age a bit and the contouring is somewhat
under whelming compared to bigger shouldered modern
projects. However, the test provided remains
very strong. The
only real elevations come from the tee boxes and greens which are
just a few feet above the medium wide fairways that have just a
little ebb and roll. Sixty one bunkers guide play across the fairway
which sit about a foot or two above the surrounding runoff areas.
The runoff areas are the remnants of the swampy lowland and not
only aid in course definition, they aid in drainage and provide
a suitable growing environment for the swamp pines. The course design
has a nice mix of gentle doglegs, cape holes around large lakes,
strategic par 5s and beautiful par 3s. The greens are medium sized
with some mild undulation. While not as flashy as more contemporary
designs, it still can hold its own in a peaceful environment. You
might be tempted on the short par four 13th to hit driver but water
is all down the left and it is hard to see that it really pinches
in at around 125 yards in. Play here is during the hottest days
of the summer is not for the faint of heart.

This 1966 muny layout is usually in below average condition but has some good rates.
This might have been cutting edge fifty years ago but is now a prime candidate for renovations. Hopefully they will do to it what they did to Bide-A-Wee and Red Wing and soon. The pros are the course plays entirely around the rather large Lake Wright and is unencumbered by residential housing. The only elevations come from the few feet in areas flowing toward the lake. The cons are the fairways are dead flat, the pushed up bunkers and greens do little to inspire, the fairways are barely differentiated and the design fails to take full advantage of the lake. Just to many negatives to recommend unless you are desperate. The range is sub par as well.

LAMBERT'S POINT
This is not your regular executive course but
rather how every executive course should
be. In fact, it is better than most middle
tier full scale courses. It was built on a
landfill behind Old Dominion University and is
entirely bordered by the industrial waterfront of
Norfolk and the Elizabeth River. Take an
eyesore and turn it into a refuge for man and
animals, this is a good idea. It is a modern
links style course with 60 foot high hills and
unique holes. No course within an hour's drive has
anything even close to this much elevation.
Undulated fairways peppered with bunkers
framed by high mounds of fescue grasses
all leading to sophisticated greens complexes. Two
par 5s, three par 4s and four par 3s.
Playing the course more than once might help since
you often find yourself wondering what club to hit
to the landing zone and where to aim when your are
confronted with a semi-blind shot obscured by the
high mounds. Missing a fairway or green can be
costly where often one side steeply falls off,
sometimes right into the water. It is most
certainly a shot makers course. Having a bunch of
par 3s can slow play when the golf traffic is up,
but you will be able to take in this very unique
scenery of he waterfront shipping, docks, refineries and
industrial Norfolk. If you want to get in a quick
nine, this is your place. A first rate
practice facility to work on all aspects of your game
is also available.

NANSEMOND RIVER
A drop dead gorgeous course featuring expansive marsh views and uniquely laid out holes. Most
of the elevations come from the high bluffs overlooking the Nansemond
River with its basin coming into play most of the day. The course
eases you into your round but quickly picks up speed and difficulty
by the third hole. The only slight blemish on the course comes at
holes eight and nine where housing is a little tight along the right
hand side. Be very careful here since O.B. demarcates the backyards
of these homes. This is especially true on the par 5 ninth where
hitting driver not only brings the houses in play on the right,
but a large pond on the left. Many a golfer have found the water
hazard trying to avoid the housing. The conventional wisdom is to
tee off with a control club and take the water out of play then
play the hole as a true three shot par 5. The unique par 5 thirteenth is a brute of a long
hole requiring a good tee shot cutting off just enough of the marsh
running down the entire right side to shorten the hole a bit. This
hole has two total separate green complexes so be sure you know
which one you are playing to before you take your second shot. Preferably,
know this before you tee off at the beginning of the day. The par 4 seventeenth
requires an accurate tee shot to a blind landing zone just over
a knob in the fairway. You absolutely need a tee shot that sets up a short iron since the green is virtually an island with no bailout area. A definite round killer. Full
range.

OCEAN VIEW
In 2000, the entire course underwent a
$2.8 million redesign including rebuilding all 18
greens. With an name like Ocean View you might be
disappointed that while only two blocks from
the ocean, it has no view of the ocean. You
can tell this used to be a dog track where they
tried hard to make a respectable course in this
compact area. In most regards,
they succeeded. The fairways have a hint
of just enough undulation for drainage even though
the entire plot is dead flat. Most holes are
separated by a thin line of mature trees that
have been saved from the old course. The
course really shines around the greens and it's
bunkering. A lot of ground was moved to give them a
nice modern feel. The twenty bunkers not only
direct the line of play but provide a great deal
of the positive aesthetic effect. The other main
feature here are the two long lakes which
come into play along the fairways of four holes.
Keep in mind that this is a par 70 with three
relatively short par 5s. Because of that, it
plays about 300 yards longer than the total
yardage on the card when compared to a
par 72. No housing and easy to

RED WING LAKE
The original 1968 George Cobb design got a major
renovation and reopened in 2007 to high acclaim.
The splendid renovation followed many of the same
routings but clearance of trees and the addition of
contouring has made this a local and
visitor favorite This is how a muny
track should be. Modern holes and sophisticated
green complexes, yet easy to walk. Not overly
penal but plenty challenge for any level golfer.
They even managed to manufacture a bit of
elevation which is surprising so close to the
ocean. While the holes are a little close to each
other, they are all separated by thick mature tree
strands of pines and thoughtful contouring so you
never feel cramped. The course has a
natural feel and a good portion borders
a nature preserve. Bald Eagles are known to nest
here and witnessing one flying down your
fairway is more impressive than the navy aircraft
on maneuvers overhead from the nearby base.
The price is very reasonable for this type of
quality. The only knock on the course is the
very heavy play it gets and 5 hour rounds are
common in peak season.

SIGNATURE AT WESTNECK
Perhaps the most
upscale course near the beach and central Virginia
Beach. Big splashy bunkers guard the serious
greens complexes. Position on approaches is
critical. Missing greens on the wrong side usually
leads to a delicate pitch over a deep
bunker if not in a bunker. The par 5s are
fantastic here and all culminate in risk reward
greens. The course does lie in a large upscale
residential neighborhood but thankfully, the homes
are set back a good bit from the wide fairways.
Where the course lacks in nature and solitude, it
makes up for in design features and

beach. Since the City of Virginia Beach took over
from TPC, the price became far more
reasonable. It is a sprawling complex with a lot
of manufactured elevations and devoid of housing.
Just pure, beautiful golf. Like most Pete Dye
courses, he throws a lot at you. Terraced
fairways, menacing bunkers, shot defeating waste areas, holes playing
into the teeth of the wind, demanding tee shots and tricky
greens, all stand ready to test your metal.
Check your ego at the door at this
place, take if for what it is, and thoroughly
enjoy a test fit for professionals.

WOODLANDS GOLF
This
misnomer really comes from the street its
on, not the few patches of trees along four holes.
Poorly shaped fairways and greens complexes with mump
like bunkering. If you are across the bridge in Hampton,
it might be
worth the little coin you pay, but there are far better options nearer to
the beach.
