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.

Beautiful day. Beautiful course.
Checking in was a breeze. Course played great!
WAAAAY RIGHT
Narrow Fairways
The course itself was not bad. Very narrow. A lot of water hazards which I found challenging and fun. This is a one a done course for me.
Not worth it, do not book a tee time here
I had to wait 30 minutes past my tee time due to the course didn’t have enough golf carts to issue out. There was literally a line waiting on people to finish so they could get a golf cart. The course needs to invest into buying more carts.
The pace of play was terrible. After waiting 30 minutes after my team you had to wait in line again at the 1st tee. The course booked tee times within 5 minutes of each other. I will not being going back to this course.
Amazing
My friends and I enjoyed the course! It was beautiful and we didn’t feel rushed
A bit disappointed
I played this course last fall with a friend. We found it challenging and at the same time, a bit on the rough side. Fairways weren't it great shape, which we chalked up to the time of year, and just coming off of summer. Also, like so many courses, trees have leaves that fall in the fall so it was easy to loss a ball if you were off to the side. The same friend and I were excited to come back thinking the work would be finished getting the course ready for the new year. The greens (90%) were very nice, unfortunately some golfers still don't get the idea of ball marks and fixing them, so there was some damage. There is also some type of weed that is growing in some of the greens. Tee boxes were great, but the fairways...... rough both on the edges and inside. Some real work needs to be done to get the fairways in shape..
Good day slow pace of play.
It was a good day for golf vefire weather came un. Git an earlier tee yime. I guess oyhers did too. Without a starter to regulate atarts the pace was slow. 5 hr round..
Decent Course
The course itself is not bad. Plays pretty quickly. Pace seems to be an issue sometimes. Seems like groups don’t know how to let singles play through. Greens weren’t terrible but def not the best.
BE AWARE!
Driving range conditions were trash! 180yrd. Max distance
Had to call to ask them to send out a Marshall to check on why it was 4 groups backed up. Pace of play was the absolute worst part about this course. I teed off 35 minutes after my normal tee time.
Course does NOT drain well! Don’t recommend playing after a drop of rain.
NO beverage cart going around the course!
Otherwise playability of the course layout was challenging at times, conditions were well kept (aside from the rain), level of difficulty was about a 6/10. Pretty flat course and a lot of getable holes.
