Golf in Chesapeake

Chesapeake is an independent city of over 250,000 created from the consolidation of South Norfolk and Norfolk County in 1963, one of the fastest-growing cities in the Southeast with a vast geographic territory that spans from the Hampton Roads urban core to the edges of the Great Dismal Swamp. The city's diverse landscape — urban neighborhoods, suburban development, and significant natural areas including the Dismal Swamp — creates a community of unusual geographic range. Three golf clubs — Battlefield, Chesapeake Golf and Country Club, and Greenbrier — serve the city's substantial recreational golf market. Golf has served this Virginia community as a gathering place for the professional, agricultural, and working families who sustain the Commonwealth's civic life across the economic cycles that have alternately challenged and strengthened every corner of the state.
