Hello anyone in virginia beach out there?

Me and my brother just recently started playing golf and our members at the VB National and im just curious if anyone on here is a member there too or plays there?

I live in VB and have played there once.  Pretty nice overall, since it used to be a TPC.  It is definitely long, but I think the other close by courses (Arnold Palmer's Signature and Heron's Ridge) are harder.  Not that harder is necessarily better, especially for me.

i like it and its by far one of the best courses in the area.  Heron ridge is a sister course of the VB national BTW.  You play often in the area?

Ya, I agree it is one of the better courses in the area, including the others I mentioned.  Most of the other courses in VB are older and shorter.  The closest course I live to is Bow Creek, which is a typical city course, but cheap.  Normally go the driving range there mostly.  I play Honeybee, Stumpy Lake, and Redwing mostly I'd say.  Redwing is way overrated and overpriced in my opinion, especially for a city course, but I've got friends who like to go there.  If I want to spend some money, I'll go play Signature.  If I want to take a drive I'll play Nansemond River in Suffolk.  Probably my favorite course around the area.

Yes, Hell's Point is a little gem, I forgot to mention it.  It's pretty close to VB National and Signature.  I haven't played there in some years though, so don't know the current condition.  It's a Rees Jones course and you want to stay on the fairway at all costs.  Lots of woods and it was built basically in a swamp.  That's the nice thing about the general area (southern VB).  You have Arnold Palmer, Fred Couples, Rees Jones, and Pete Dye courses all within 5-10 minutes of each other.  They are all quality courses in their own right.
