YOU DONATION WILL HELP US BRING YOU THE BEST GOLF IN HAMPTON ROADS
It is our goal to get the Hampton Roads Area of Virginia the respect it deserves as a haven for the recreational golfer.
*Golf may not be leading the effort to bring more vacationers to Virginia's shores, but it's hardly lagging behind. In recent years, several prominent (and award winning) tracks have either been built or renovated. And there's no shortage of star-power for the new layouts either, featuring some of the best golf course designer names in the business, Pete Dye , Arnold Palmer , Fred Couples (with Gene Bates ) and Tom Clark of Ault, Clark & Associates, amongst others.
Northeastern golfers may think of Myrtle Beach, Pinehurst and Hilton Head when planning driving trips to reachable golf destinations, but they should also consider this rather sizeable chunk of the Old Dominion, which will save them hours of time in the car and probably some money from their wallets, without a corresponding drop in quality or accessibility.
Here are just a few of the sights you'll see in Hampton Roads -- some golf, some not:
The Signature At West Neck is the newest upscale golf addition to the region. It's got wide fairways, beach bunkers, lots of water and many smiling customers.
The PGA Tour realized the potential of building a Tour quality facility in the Hampton Roads area, so they hired Pete Dye and Curtis Strange to design it. The result is TPC Virginia Beach, which hosts a Nationwide Tour event every May.
Arnold Palmer's leading a different kind of army in this photo -- but his partnership with Baymark Golf is also bringing new credibility to this region as a golf destination. Here, it's the Grand Opening at Bay Creek on Virginia's eastern shore.
Bide-A-Wee Golf Course in Portsmouth was recognized by Golf Digest for its upscale golf experience at an affordable price. Curtis Strange consulted on the renovation (along with Tom Clark), and the results show.
