Your mental strength, first. Your ego second…read more Honestly, a course every golfer should experience. I personally would love to see the best go against this course. True, their habits are more refined than an amateur, but it sure would be fun to watch. Greens are glass tops. Fairways are perfect, and you better find them, or it is a lost ball, EVERY time. Some of the best par 3's in the country. The finishing hole is a par 4 at 486 yards, with a tee shot over water and with a carry needed of 230 yards, your second is over water to a narrow peninsula green, hazards on 3 sides. Mike Strantz punches you in the mouth on every hole. It is glorious. This course demands you be good right from the start. This is a must play.

Beautiful looking course but referring to it as challenging is quite an understatement…read more Unless you are a very good golfer, you might want to consider another course. There are many blind shots and you will lose golf balls if you are not familiar with the layout. Unfortunately it had rained for the prior five days so the course was very wet and it was cart path only. The cart paths were far away from the fairways and greens so we had to walk a lot to play our shots. In other words, don't bother using a cart if it's cart path only. Unfortunately tee boxes , fairways and greens had damage from this past winter and some were in rough shape. Don't think I'll be back

Playing LONG, it challenges any level of golfer for sure! The course was in great shape with really nice greens, especially in January. The view was gorgeous and so peaceful! Now I am not the greatest golfer but with my experience and 15 handicap, I would definitely say you need to at least be able to make solid contact with the ball as the distance could be challenging to reach in par. If you are new, playing from anything beyond the whites should really be considered for better ball strikers because it truly is long and challenging and suited for the lower handicap or scratch players. Slow play will come into play if trying to play out of your element. It is quite forgiving but if you get into the woods, it is difficult to find the ball under the leaves which slows it even more. Definitely not a walking course and loads of hills/undulations all over the place. It is a very fun/challenging course and was worth the hour and 10 minute drive. I will definitely consider making my way at least once a year to experience the courses in the Williamsburg to Richmond area. Definitely a different ball game versus where I live.

They have online prepaid reservation system. You could also call them and book via phone. The course layout is amazing. Few water holes and lots of tress in the front 9. Back 9 is stunning. Pretty open with wide fairways and a couple of holes have beautiful water views of the river. Very well maintained course. Absolutely worth the money. I got paired with a high school golfer who was with his dad practicing for the season. He made golf look easy. The weather was perfect as well. Between 68 to 70. They have a very nice restaurant with great food options as well. You can order ahead before you get to your turn. Highly recommend this course if you're in this area. Practice facility is decent as well.

It is a friendly, not particularly difficult course located on an Air Force Base. Apparently, the base has been renamed Joint Base Langley-Eustis. Our foursome were not good golfers overall. All four of us probably shared a bag of clubs which is such bad form! Still, no one complained about us, and I'm sure we let those on carts play through. I recall one of the holes being just off Weyland Road and if you're not careful, and we weren't, you could hit into a car driving by. Glad that never happened to us! Thanks Englewood for providing hacks like us with an inexpensive way to enjoy nature and our few solid club to ball connections in a relaxed setting!

My friend and I decided to try this course. He has played here few times but not this year. So on a…read morenice afternoon we decided to play this course. The course was pretty empty. Fairways and greens are in good shape. Bunkers no so much. I am a beginner golfer so no complains there. I hate hitting off bunkers anyways. Some of the holes can be pretty hard for high handicappers. Narrow fairways and lots of tees. You have to keep em straight. Some of the holes are so beautiful. Especially hole 9 and hole 18. They have some water hazard as well. They also have a driving range. I think they can do better by reducing tee time prices to attract more customers. Piankatank is a better course for the same price. By lowering price they may get more people to play. That's the only reason I am giving them 4 stars. Food is great here. They have a decent restroom with shower.

He cautioned me on the condition the course was in, and he was right. The Tides Inn should should be ashamed to let an otherwise decent layout get to this point. On the front side, the tee boxes are gone: just compacted dirt. Most of the bunkers have become unplayable waste areas. The cart path is really deteriorated. The greens weren't awful, but most had patches of completely different grasses. The condition on the back nine was better. Most of the tee boxes were good, and the fairways in better shape. This course has some beautiful holes, and the overall layout is fun and challenging, but so much work needs to be done to get this course back to a course I could recommend.

It is renowned for it's fishing and oysters as well as now, it's ice cream and various other tourist-friendly pursuits. It exists in harmony with nearby Bay Creek, an exclusive golf-centric private community which has brought in plenty of transplants from around the state and various other states. The grounds of this community are stunning and immaculately maintained. It boasts several pools, a large fitness and members club, tennis and pickle-ball courts and many planned improvements as the community continues to grow. Additionally, there is, of course the famous 27-holes of golf with views of the Chesapeake Bay and water while you're on the range. It can't be beat. It's probably half-half at present with full-time and then those with second and rental properties here which they rent out throughout the year to visitors. It's in the midst of a huge boom for building and development as COVID has brought in plenty of people who can now telework from this area. A few years ago 9 of the holes were removed to create a large nature preserve with hiking and walking and biking trails along the protected marsh land. A beautiful addition to this neighborhood. If you have a chance to tour or play golf in this gorgeous resort - do so! It's something you won't want to miss.

New management promised us new facilities, new club, new indoor pool, improved golf course, better amenities, and the list goes on. What a huge LIE! Buyer Beware!!!!!!! The golf course has gone down horribly which is hard to understand as they have so many dues coming in now. The beach is eroding away quickly. Half of the back 9 that we thought was a nature conservation preserve is actually future development. The other half could become a mitigation bank. The developer maybe called Preserve Communities, but thousands of trees are being slaughtered to clear for new duplexes. The land is being raped for the profit of the developers and no one cares about the home owners once they have bought their lot. The last straw is a controlled burn that is scheduled for this week. The property manager sent out a flyer on surviving wildfires that recommends masking and air purifiers to survive the controlled burn. So there you have it. Far from perfect nature we are all about surviving controlled burns.
