About Aeropines Golf Club
Aeropines Golf Club offers two 18-hole par 72 courses with four sets of tees, catering to golfers of all skill levels. The clubhouse features a pro shop, snack bar, lounge area, and locker rooms. The practice facility includes a driving range, putting greens, chipping green, and practice bunker area. Private lessons, junior programs, and special events are also available. Visitors have praised the friendly staff, great greens, and scenic courses. However, some have noted that the sand traps and bunkers could be better maintained. The clubhouse serves breakfast and lunch, with a cozy atmosphere and an option to order ahead through their app. While some have mentioned that the carts could be updated, overall, Aeropines Golf Club provides a pleasant experience at a reasonable price.
The staff were very pleasant. The club house was nice inside but the decks/porches were in disrepair. We took time to give the food a shot after our round. The breakfast was good and price nicely. We only played 9 and at $50.00 for two, with a cart was a good deal, for a weekday. The course….Meh. Greens were 3.5 out of 5. Lots were burnt. Fairways were long and in need of cutting. When they were cut last, clumps of grass were left all over the fairways. I’m no pro by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a frustrating round, from the course aspect. Several lost balls, on the fairways.
We may give it another try, next time we’re in Oceana. I heard...read full review
Aeropines - Tomcat Course. This is the original course at NAS Oceana. Let's start with the positive. The greens were superb! Wish my home course had greens as nice as this, they rolled pure. This course use to be a very nice course, but obviously outside the greens, the maintenance has been virtually non-existent which was very disappointing. MWR has let everyone down turning a once nice course into a practice facility at best that charges top price that would be associated with a wonderful facility. All bunkers have been decidedly allowed to fallow. If you are not going to maintain the bunkers seed them, allow them to grow and fill-in and treat them as rough, but don't just allow them to garner weeds. Waste areas they aren't. The rough is not graduated in anyway, you go from the fairway to 2" bermuda rough making it overly difficult to locate your ball as they obviously sink to the bottom. You can walk by it multiple times and you may find it. The bridge to the right of the 3rd green has been in disrepair for so long that the barricades have even fallen over. The "junk" between the tee box and the fairway on 18 was so high that you couldn't see the sight lines, talk about a blind tee shot! It pains me to say this because this was a to be a nostalgic round from years gone by, but...if you want to play a military course while in the VA Beach area, go to Little Creek NAB or Sewell's Point. I miss the old Aeropines.
Played 3 Nov 2023. There was a frost delay as the temps were in the low 30s when we arrived; the staff were very friendly and we weren't in a huge hurry. Breakfasts looked good, but I only needed a coffee (it was ok). We played the Tomcat course--it is one tight track! You definitely need to be dialed in off the tee boxes! My biggest gripe is that we're retired military guys and paying $41 for 18 and a cart...the course was mostly ok, but barely that. Most (maybe all??) the sand traps and bunkers were in terrible shape. The greens weren't great, maybe barely passable. I was just a bit disappointed that it seemed we were paying (almost!) premium prices and the...read full review
