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.

Course needs some attention
Every hole layout was tee, rough (ankle high), green. There was no fairway anywhere on this course. I did enjoy the layout and area of the course. Once it gets some love I'll definitely come play it again!
Awesome 18 holes! A lot of water and challenges!
I would totally recommend this course to someone trying to improve your game!
Challenging course
This isn’t the easiest course as there are several holes where you must lay up to carry water hazards, but that’s what I like about it.
Nice course, great staff
To be honest, the only thing I would change is the route of holes. The course itself is great, but to you have to go around your elbow a few tome to get to the next hole. Other than that, it was a great experience. Staffing went out of way to help and very personable.
Terrible
You offered tee times when the front nine was closed for an outing. We almost had to leave and the round took 6 hours. Never use Golfnow again.
Waste of your time and money
The staff in the club house was rude
No starter which allowed a group of 6 players to tee off and no marshal on the course
Greens were horrible
The whole course was in bad shape
Nice day to play
The weather was great. The course is getting ready for the season. Sand on the greens ,aeration plugs ,A qlot of puddled grass for all the rain we have had. But you have to expect that this time of year. I like the course good lay out , not overly busy compared to a few others in the area.
Slow play and WWE tee box altercation
Well, showed up excited to play a course I’ve never experienced. Started off bad. The driving range grass is worse than my back yard in January and doesn’t allow woods to be used since it’s only 170yds. Chipping and putting area was pretty decent though. Showed up at the tee box at 1040 for a 1052 tee time. There were 6 groups waiting to tee off and no starter orchestrating this disaster. Finally teed off at 1125. Continued to wait 15 minutes or more at nearly every hole. The course layout was actually pretty challenging but fairways were poorly maintained. Greens were average. The worst part of the round occurred on #9 when an irate golfer from the group playing behind me pulled up to the tee box as I was waiting (again) to tee off. He jumped out of his cart screaming obscenities at me. I tried to calm him down but he wouldn’t let it go and eventually his entire group ended up on the ground at the tee box wrestling my driver away from him which he had grabbed off the ground and was attempting to break over his knee. Eventually they got him in the cart and took him home. The entire altercation lasted 20 minutes and I ended up finishing the round after 5.5hrs. During that time not one marshall showed up to check on things. Worst golf experience of my 20 years playing.
Good course
I enjoyed plaiying this course and was very reasonably priced.
