Great public course

Great course for your dollar. Unfortunately, there is no driving range. The benefit is, no need to show up super early. The course is in pretty good condition, with only a few areas needing repair.

Labor Day weekend

It was Labor day weekend, so pace of play was bad....but I expected every hack to be on the course
Fairways and greens were what you should expect for a muni. Pretty good. Staff was good and easy to get something to eat or drink. Don't expect Augusta, but more like Scotland conditions. Saying that it has been the driest August on record. I say give it a try.

Tremendous Value!

I have been on a hunt trying to find a course in Norfolk that is well kept has a decent layout and is great for practice. We’ll look no further. Ocean view is quite possibly the most underrated course in Hampton Roads. Greens were phenomenal. They had recently too dressed the front nine but they were still in great shape. Greens are on par of not better than other higher end public courses in the area such as Riverfront and VB National. The course is short and relatively easy, but there are several holes that will challenge your course management and shot shaping ability when played from the tips. I cannot recommend this course enough. Go play Ocean View today.

good value for money

The course is moderately challenging and in pretty decent shape for a public course with as much play as it gets. I enjoy it and intend to play again

Oceanview is back

This course is in 10 X better than it was back in late June/Early July. It’s one of the cheaper rounds to play in the area and it’s absolutely worth every penny!

Nice City Course

I enjoyed my round at Oceanview. I greeted NICELY when I arrived in the club house and pro shop. The pace of play was a bit slow. I did see the marshal come out and it got to moving. I will definitely go back for more rounds.

Nice course

Our bad luck the greens are undergoing maintenance right now. They can use additional watering to improve the growth.

Disappointing

What a shame, what an absolute shame...

I played the course in the spring and I loved the layout and enjoyed my round, however it seems that the last time I played was the last time the course was really given any love.

Tee boxes are in poor condition with the ground being either too hard for wooden tees or too sandy to keep them upright. This was nothing though compared to the greens. Putting from the fairway or the green felt exactly the same as they were about the same length. Things come to a peak when trying to putt at the short par 3 fourth hole, where the green looks like it was used on a cross production of 1917 and Baywatch such is the amount of divots and sand on the green.

As for the bunkers, given that there is a beach less than a half mile from the course you'd expect more from the sand, but its like trying to shoot off concrete and weeds on many holes.

Course promises so much but ultimately fails to deliver which is such as shame because it is a nice looking course just badly in need of some real TLC

It’s always a blast playing there. Course is fun and good price. Greens are rough and bumpy. Hard to hit any putts
