Lambert's Point Golf Course

About this course
Lambert's Point Golf Course sits in Norfolk, Virginia, a municipal facility that serves the Hampton Roads region. Designed by Lester George, the course occupies land in the Tidewater area where flat coastal terrain and proximity to the Elizabeth River and Chesapeake Bay influence both routing and playing conditions. The layout reflects the practical design approach common to mid-century public courses in the region, offering accessible golf in an urban setting. The course navigates relatively level ground typical of coastal Virginia, with mature trees defining corridors and water features appearing on several holes. Prevailing winds from the bay can affect club selection and strategy, particularly on exposed holes. The flat topography allows for straightforward walking, though drainage considerations shape certain design elements given the area's sea-level elevation and periodic heavy rainfall. Lambert's Point serves Norfolk's municipal golf needs alongside other public facilities in the city. The course provides year-round play in Virginia's temperate climate, with bermudagrass surfaces common to the region. Its location within city limits makes it accessible to residents and visitors exploring the Hampton Roads area, which includes naval installations and the Port of Virginia. The facility operates as a traditional public course focused on recreational play rather than tournament hosting or championship-level challenge.

Getting there
Lambert's Point Golf Course sits within Norfolk's historic waterfront district, accessible most directly via Norfolk International Airport (ORF), a mere fifteen minutes inland by car, or via the larger Richmond International (RIC) roughly ninety minutes northwest for those preferring a major hub. The approach winds through the city's revitalized downtown corridor, where maritime heritage and modern urban renewal frame the final descent toward the Elizabeth River, before arriving at the club's distinctive perch overlooking the water - a setting where the salt air and working harbor beyond the fairways serve as constant reminders of Norfolk's enduring connection to the sea. For those seeking a more intimate arrival, nearby Newport News/Williamsburg International (PHF) offers a quieter alternative just across the James River, with a scenic drive through colonial Virginia's landscape before reaching the course.
