About myself: Play Riverfront anywhere from 4-5 times per month. Not a member but often play with…read moremembers. Pros: Riverfront is typically in good shape. For a course south of the Hampton Roads tunnels, Riverfront is usually a good bet that you will have decent tee box, good greens (with some exceptions), and clean fairways. Staff are generally friendly. Cons: Grounds crew is oblivious to the players. Typically find them with headphones on and unaware of their surroundings. Always have a problem with bunkers, bunkers are rarely raked and players don't do the course any favors by cleaning bunkers after use. Expect high load of divot marks on the greens. Normal to have to fix divot marks before a putt. If you are off the fairway, come to expect to have to hit off unmaintained areas (dirt, pine straw or debris). Maintenance ends at the fairway, rough is typically cut similar to fairway. If there is any rain the night before and you have an early tee time, expect no range as it is often closed. Unacceptable: The manager (Brian) is unfriendly and unloyal. How he maintains his job is not understood by members and players that know the staff. Example: Today I witnessed (why I decided to write a review) a twosome that went out for the first tee time (7 AM). Within the twosome were myself and a member of 5+ years that plays golf at Riverfront upwards of 4 times a week. We were provided awareness that a tournament would be going out at 8:30 and that it was starting on the back nine and stretched to hole 12. No additional direction was given. We reached hole 16 and ran into the tournament beginning play. Unfortunately, we folded in between the tournament groups and tee'd off on 16. We were met at our ball by a marshal. The marshal stated we needed to wait until the entire tournament went through before we picked up our play again....so other words wait 1.5-2 hrs for the entire tournament to go through. We let the marshal know that was unrealistic and that we would be able to fold into the group, finish our two holes and not hold anyone up. The marshal was favorable to that course of action, but the pro shop returned with an answer of we would shut down the cart until they leave. We finished 16 and then headed into the pro shop. Going into the pro shop the member requested a 9-hole rain check believing that was a good compromise to an unfortunate situation. He was offered by Brian, $5. Considering the long wait, we would have had to finish our round, the poor management of tee times (there was a twosome behind us) and the fact we were unable to finish our round that we paid for, we thought this was a good compromise. Brian disagreed to the point he ended up refunding the member over $800 for the remainder of his membership at the club. So, a long-term member, who spends over $500 a month additional at the course, and the upwards of $400 I spend at the course a month were not worth a nine-hole rain check due to an inconvenience on both the course and ourselves. In closing: I am sure this review will be met with the same professionalism and loyalty as presented today. Unfortunately, this professionalism is normal for management. If you want a decent course to play and have to stick south of the tunnel, no doubt Riverfront is worth the time. Do not expect you to be at the forefront of the management's concerns. Customers at Riverfront are not always right!

Let me start by saying Riverfront is a beautiful course. That being said still does not out weigh…read morethe bad. On June 24th 2021 my brother and I had a tee time booked for 5:03pm. We had been looking forward to playing this course for weeks now. We get there and pay our money, 40$ a piece for 18 not bad.. The starter never said a word so we grabbed a cart and got our bags and headed to number 1. Approaching our tee time we headed towards the box, only to be stopped by a group of 4 saying "we are in a tournament" y'all can't play ahead of us. So we waited and waited for multiple groups in the "tournament" to go ahead of us. We finally flagged down I'm assuming the course manager for the day. And asked how many more groups are left in the tournament? He barked his reply, " y'all are not playing number 1, if y'all wanted to play y'all should not be on 1 go to 10" long story short being out there for 3 hours we only played 7 holes because they packed the course with tournament people and continuously over booked people knowing it would be slow. The attitude of the staff at the course was not welcoming and not appreciated. And ultimately it was a waste of money. I understand golf can be slow sometimes but usually everybody tries to keep the pace of play steady. It was just poor course management and they seemed to not care at all about the non tournament players that day. I will not be back for a long time, as I can go elsewhere and be treated with respect and have a better time.

Affordable cost @ $25 per golfer (included 18 holes and cart use) obviously helped the fundraising bottom-line. Fairways, greens and cart paths were in acceptable shape for that price point. While out of their control, know there are times players are prepping to swing while next to chain-linked fences with obnoxious barking dogs. There are also points where you're sharing roads/travel paths with local traffic, similar to other public courses. Facilities are notably dated but the spaces we occupied were relatively clean. There's a small practice green and driving range on-site. It was super easy working with their golf-pro Adam to coordinate the play aspect; he was thorough and accommodating with any needs that arose. Unfortunately, requiring events to use in-house food/beverage vendors that lack communication and execution became a perennial drawback. Inflated cost is expected because of the convenience factor. That said, limited selection coupled with poor service and delivery ($50 for a small plate of store bough chips-a-hoy cookies) is inexcusable. I had to send out search parties in multiple years for the contracted beverage cart employee on days seeing 85-90 degree temps. Over time, our players voiced displeasure traveling to Portsmouth and a desire to pay a little more for a better playing experience.

There was only 1 Glow Golf in Yelp for Hampton Roads and this one is inside MacArthur mall - 2nd floor, South Side area.

It's best to set your expectation properly when going here. Don't expect to be woo'd in amazement about how intricate or crazy the courses are. It's basically putt-putt in the dark with a few black lights overhead. I'm not trying to down play this but I am trying to set the bar properly. It was a very rainy day and we didn't want to be stuck indoors at home so off to the mall we went. THIS is the advantage of this place. It's basically something to do when it's convenient for you.

I stopped by to see if they had and Jordan Jumpman brand items like they sell on line! Sadly to say unless I overlooked it there was not one piece of clothing that displayed the jumpman Jordan brand, not one!!!.. I didn't even see any of the Jordan retro sneakers that they display on line either! I even put it a raffle for a pair of 11 Jordan Gama, size 11 on line but yet they didn't have not one pair of Jordan retro to sell.. Maybe I'm missing something but that seems like false advertising if you have stuff on line but nothing in store?

I placed my order by 3 PM and opted for in-store pickup, registering my number for text updates regarding my order. However, I did not receive any text notifications. I then returned to the Dick's app to chat with their AI assistant. I inquired about my order and when it would be ready for pickup, and the AI indicated that it would be ready within two hours. By 7 PM, I still had not received any updates, so I decided to call the store. When I spoke to a Dick's employee about my order, they were unable to locate it and went to fetch their manager, Averie. Upon speaking with Averie, I provided her with my order number and mentioned that I had not received any text messages, inquiring about the status of my order. She informed me that she had not received my order. I asked her why, given that I placed my order online at 3 PM. She patiently listened and requested a few minutes to contact their tech support to determine why my order had not been received. Less than 10 minutes later, Avery called me back to inform me that their system was down, causing delays in processing online orders. She mentioned that I could expect an email by 10 PM notifying me when my order was ready. I agreed to wait. The next day, I called again around 1 PM, and fortunately, Averie answered the call. I informed her that I had not received the email. She asked if she could call me back while she contacted headquarters to find out why my order had not been processed. I was grateful that she was able to handle this herself, as I wouldn't have known where to start. I also appreciated Averie's assistance during my calls; receiving answers from a human is much more reassuring than an automated AI response. Ultimately, I was able to visit the store on Sunday and purchase the bicycle.

If your idea of a perfect evening involves walking to great restaurants, grabbing a drink at a waterfront bar, or just strolling along the harbor pretending you're the main character in a travel show, this is your place. You can park the car and forget it exists. If you're an airline crew member, this hotel deserves bonus points. It's one of the few hotels that actually understands exhausted humans in uniforms. They have a dedicated crew room stocked with snacks, sandwiches, coffee, and drinks before or after a flight. It's not a five-course meal, but after a long day in the air, finding coffee and a snack waiting for you feels like someone actually cares. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Here's a little insider tip: * Water-facing rooms have incredible views... but thanks to all that glorious sunshine, they can run a bit warmer. * City-facing rooms tend to stay a little cooler if you're someone who sleeps best in an icebox. Now, let's talk about the staff. They're honestly one of the biggest reasons this hotel gets five stars from me. Every visit, they're genuinely kind, welcoming, and seem like they actually enjoy helping people. In today's world, that's becoming a rare superpower. Now for the tiny elephant standing on the roof... The hotel could probably use a little TLC in the maintenance department. Case in point: the entrance canopy actually collapsed not long ago. I didn't dive into the news to see exactly what happened, but generally speaking, I prefer my hotel roofs to remain attached to the hotel. It's a fairly low bar... literally. That said, one maintenance mishap doesn't erase years of consistently good experiences. If you're visiting Norfolk, especially if you're interested in the area's incredible naval history and military attractions, you couldn't ask for a better home base. Between the waterfront, restaurants, museums, and everything nearby, there's always something to do. Final verdict: Great rooms. Amazing location. Fantastic staff. Airline crew-friendly. Just... let's all agree to keep the roof where it belongs. I'll happily stay here again--and probably will.

I was moved to another room to 211 which is right next to where they're doing construction in front of the hotel so I wake up to noise every day and ALSO this past week the AC has gone out again twice ... ‍ While I understand that maintenance issues can happen, I'm disappointed with how this situation has been handled. I hope they take this feedback seriously and improve how they handle situations like this in the future. Ps I'm still staying in the hotel if you'd like to correct this situation for me...
