Norfolk, Va. – Ocean View Golf Course will offer free golf to all retired and active-duty military personnel and veterans in November as part of the course’s “Military Appreciation Month.”
Tee times can be reserved by going online to www.oceanviewgc.com or by calling the pro-shop at 757-480-2094. The free greens fees do not include rental of a riding cart, which is $12.50 per person.
“Ocean View Golf Course is offering this small gesture to recognize the service and sacrifice of our wonderful men and women in uniform, our retired military personnel and our veterans,” says the facility’s general manager Mike Valleau. “Military Appreciation Month at the course is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to a community that has given so much to the Hampton Roads area and the entire nation.”
Ocean View Golf Course celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2005. To mark the milestone, Ocean View offered 75-cent greens fees on July 25.
Billy Casper Golf oversees operations at Ocean View, which is owned by the City of Norfolk.
“Ocean View is in terrific condition and players are really going to enjoy their rounds when they come out in November,” says Valleau. “One of our goals is to enhance the overall golf experience at the course and to introduce as many people as possible to the layout.”
Ocean View is set along the shores of Chesapeake Bay and boasts a blend of tree lined fairways and diminutive greens.
