BOW CREEK GOLF COURSE

The wide-open fairways and gentle rolls of this Virginia Beach layout prove that strategic golf doesn't require claustrophobic corridors or manufactured drama. Wind patterns from the nearby Atlantic create the real defense here, turning seemingly straightforward approach shots into chess matches that reward local knowledge and punish the overconfident. Despite the forgiving nature off the tee, the subtly undulating greens demand respect—especially when the coastal breeze picks up in the afternoon.
