Golfcourse.com Review: This 18 hole course is located on wetlands. The front 9 is links-style, while the back 9 is wooded, featuring several tree-lined fairways. The greens are large and undulating. Bunkering around the greens is strategically challenging. The signature hole is #15, a 178-yard, par 3, featuring a water hazard and a sand bunker guarding the green.

Best Bar Nearby: Golf Magazine recommends Mahi Mah's, a lively saloon and oceanfront dining spot in the Ramada Inn On The Beach, where the raw bar is for real. OR, Ralph, of "Ralph's Roadmap for Wings" website, recommends the wings at Lendy's Chicken & Seafood, 1581 Gen. Booth Blvd. For VA Beach Gentlemen's Clubs, Foxy Ladies (1425 Lynnhaven Pkwy), J.B.'s Gallery Of Girls (1781 VA Beach Blvd), Tailgators Sports Bar & Go-Go (1725 Potters Rd).
