GREAT VALUE, GREATEXPERIENCE!
Bow Creek has been the best course I've played since being in Norfolk! The course is a municipal course so understand that. The staff is great! The weather was perfect and it was a great day on the links! Don't delay, play here today!
A Beautiful Fall Day
A beautiful day to play golf. High 50's, just enough wind, sunny, trees turning color. The greens were perfect, still enough green grass in the fairways, and despite all the recent rain, the course was not soggy at all. The only complaint that I might of had was the bunkers had not had water pumped out. Perfect conditions for middle November.

Bowcreek old school design
Greens were very well cut and maintained, overall a great value
Hope the course stay in business
Come to Norfolk to visit our son, found this course on TeeOff, we did not have high expectation since the rate is low. Both my wife and myself are pleasantly surprised that the course is in good condition, staff is helpful. We will come back again. Heart that the course maybe closed soon, this is a shame. We hope the course stay open.
Sad goodbye
Was informed by pro shop that the course is closing. It’s a fun and challenging course with tough distances on some of the par threes and off the tee box for the driver. I have always enjoyed this course and I’m sorry to see it go
Easy, friendly course
the distance is perfect for me. The layout is fine. City needs to invest for in course maintenance.
Great Value
Look this is a decent Muni design, has some easy holes and some more difficult holes. They are going to close and renovate next year, and it will be like a new course when it reopens. There are places around the course now that could use some maintenance, but they seem to keep it OK.
Except the bunkers. The fees are really cheap before the renovation, it’s truly a bargain. And the staff seem pretty nice and helpful.
I’m looking forward to the renovation. Im glad VB is willing to invest in affordable golf.

It’s my home course
By the title you know I’m bias but I play here more often then not. For just a few bucks you can play a round of golf. It’s not perfect and the city wants to shut it down so they have limited funds. This place does an amazing job for the resources they have. I will continue to play here till they destroy the course.
Swampland
Bowcreek would be a nice course if it was dry. I understand that it rained hard during the previous days but the course is so flat it doesn’t drain well. It was strange to see lots of people willing to play when it was swampy everywhere. The great thing about the time I played was that the price was cheap. Playing with the rain ponds and mud was still manageable except when the ball lands on the puddles and mud.

Peak season conditions for Bow Creek
good shape for august. greens were good, fairways were green and lush, tee boxes were good. due to recent rains was a little soggy, and the only complaints were slow players not giving way to faster players, and no one repairing divots on greens. some ball marks were as big as quarters. much better conditions than in late june.
Nice public course.
Good public course in Virginia Beach. I played as a single. Needed to play through a few holes to keep up with my pace of play. There were some rough patches on the fairways and tee boxes. Over all what I expected.
