Virginia Beach National Golf course sale-next steps. The City Council voted on Tuesday, August 11, 2026 to move forward with the sale of the VBNG course to The Dragas Companies. The next step is rezoning part of the land for 659 condos. What does that mean for taxpayers? Here are the facts, with the sources, primarily the current TERM SHEET as of 8/11/2026. **It is important to note that developers are not the enemy. The developer asked for a certain deal and the City gave them the deal they asked for. That is a City negotiating problem.**

The City Council is unhappy with rowdy citizens and has modified the "Speaker's Policy".

After a raucous crowd at last Tuesday’s City Council meeting booed loudly at speakers in support of a golf course sale, Mayor Bobby Dyer says new rules of conduct are needed.

Please have your trash, recycling, yard waste, and scheduled bulk items at the curb by 6 a.m. on your normal collection day.
