Each year, bottlenose dolphins migrate off the Virginia Beach coast during the warmer weather.

After a day at the beach, it’s time to tee off. With eight public courses in Virginia Beach and 20 in the surrounding region, players will experience intriguing, challenging greens for all handicaps, from beginner to novice to pro. Miles of bent Bermuda grasses, hardwood forests, and challenging layouts create the perfect setting for an incredible day on the links, with designs by Arnold Palmer, Rees Jones, Pete Dye, George Cobb, and Gene Bates.
