Hells Point at Hells Point Golf Club

Hells Point Golf Club opened in 2003 as a Rees Jones design situated in the coastal plain of Virginia Beach. The course occupies land near the confluence of the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, though it lies inland from the immediate shoreline. Jones routed the layout across relatively flat terrain typical of the Tidewater region, incorporating natural wetlands, tidal marshes, and stands of native vegetation into the playing corridors. The design emphasizes strategic bunkering and water hazards that come into play on numerous holes, requiring careful course management in the often-present coastal winds.

The routing features several holes that play along or across wetland areas, with forced carries and approach shots demanding accuracy over hazards. Jones shaped generous fairways but protected greens with his characteristic deep bunkering, creating a layout that offers multiple tee options to accommodate a range of skill levels. The flat topography means elevation change is minimal, placing emphasis on horizontal design elements and the strategic use of water and sand.

Hells Point operates as a semi-private facility, offering both member and daily-fee play. The course serves the Virginia Beach golf market as a modern championship-length layout in a region known more for resort courses along the oceanfront. The property's integration of environmental features reflects design practices common to coastal Carolina and Tidewater courses built in the early 2000s, balancing playability with preservation of sensitive wetland ecosystems.
