About this course
Kempsville Greens Municipal Golf Club operates as a public facility in Virginia Beach, serving the Hampton Roads region of southeastern Virginia. The course sits inland from the resort areas along the Atlantic coast, providing accessible golf for residents and visitors in one of Virginia's most populous cities. As a municipal facility, it functions within the city's parks and recreation system, offering daily-fee play without membership requirements. The layout reflects the coastal plain topography characteristic of the Tidewater region, with relatively flat terrain and natural drainage considerations typical of courses built near sea level. The design incorporates the area's native vegetation and works within the constraints of municipal golf development, balancing playability for various skill levels with operational efficiency. Water features and strategic bunkering provide definition to holes across the routing. Municipal courses in Virginia Beach serve an important role in making golf accessible to the local community, often hosting junior programs, instructional clinics, and league play throughout the season. The facility operates year-round given the region's moderate climate, though summer heat and humidity are common factors. Kempsville Greens functions as a neighborhood course within the broader Virginia Beach golf landscape, which includes both public and private facilities ranging from resort layouts near the oceanfront to more traditional parkland designs inland.

Getting there
Kempsville Greens Municipal Golf Club sits within easy reach of Norfolk International Airport (ORF), roughly twenty minutes south by car through the residential neighborhoods and commercial corridors that define Virginia Beach's eastern sprawl. The drive from ORF carries you through the flat, maritime-influenced landscape of the Hampton Roads region, where the transition from urban thoroughfares to tree-lined local roads signals your approach to the club's modest but welcoming grounds. For those arriving by private aviation, nearby Naval Station Norfolk operates general aviation facilities, though commercial travelers will find ORF the most practical gateway. The final miles wind through the quiet, established residential character of Kempsville, a neighborhood that has long anchored this community course as a reliable gathering place for local golfers seeking accessible, unpretentious play.
