Virginia Beach Golf and Vacation Information

Virginia Beach

Located just a couple of hours Southeast of Richmond and a little over 3 hours from Washington DC, the Virginia Beach area provides a Southern Beach feel with less than a day’s drive from most Northeastern areas.  Virginia Beach has beautiful, championship golf courses so there is no need to drive any further south!

To go along with great golf, the area also gives you incredible views of the Atlantic Ocean, a 3-mile boardwalk stretching along the oceanfront, beautiful, wide beaches, and a hopping nightlife!  Spend your mornings on the links, afternoons on the beach, and evenings living it up on the strip.  Virginia is also a popular vacation spot for all, not just golfers, thus providing you with lots to do outside of golf, by offering plenty of restaurants, lodging options, attractions, and more.  Area attractions include historic parks, water sports, motor-sports, zoos, aquariums, and the world-renowned boardwalk just to mention a few.

Virginia may not be as well-known as a beach golf destination as others, but should definitely be considered for your next golf vacation!
