Stumpy Lake Golf Course

If you've ever played a charity scramble and thought to yourself, "I wish all my rounds could take this long, but without all the free drinks" than this course is for you. Slowest play in Virginia Beach. Marshalls nowhere to be found. Kind of ruins what would otherwise be a pretty decent course ( ; Review made after several rounds of ridiculously slow play and experience playing most every course in the area.

Its a great course for all levels of skills. Will play again

Always in good shape, except the teeboxes. Not sure why they haven't been able to fix these for several years. Glad hole 1 green is finally fixed. Always enjoy this course!

Located at Stumpy Lake Park, this golf course offers inviting fairways off the tee. I had played here once before and my recent round was just as enjoyable as my first round. I purposely arrived 20 minutes early, having booked my 9:06am reservation online, in order to use the practice putting green. The practice putting green was fairly large but had a few bald spots, typically caused by a fungus issue. However, I was relieved to discover that very few greens on the course had this condition.

This course is not overly difficult, but does offer challenges in the form of greenside bunkers, a water hazard here and there but the most challenge of this course is the greens. Ululations make up for the open wide fairways. The “ Starter” was an older gentleman whom offered friendly advise and a pleasant conversation. The atmosphere here is one of relaxation and enjoying the scenic beauty of the area.

Greens fees here are in the range of what most public golf courses in the area charge which is well under $40 on average.

For the price, the course conditions, and friendly staff, this golf course is out right enjoyment over difficulty and I , for one, am here for that.

Overall the course is in good condition. First few greens and some of the tee boxes could use some work, but it looks like they are already trying to accomplish that, should be fine by the spring. Greens are a little bit slow but they run true. Great public track and good value in Hampton Roads.

The first three green are in bad shape, the rest are in good shape. Overall for stumpy lake the course is in good shape. I will go out and play again soon.

Course layout and fairways were good. Some greens had bad spots following aeration and hot, dry summer. Putts ran true even with the spots. Grass on some tee boxes was sparse, but new grass was starting to grow. Course was fun to play.

The course was in decent shape but. They just aerated the greens and sanded. Which was ok just difficult to gauge your speed and break . The good thing was they only charged 1/2 the normal green fees to compensate! As long as it dry and not alot of rain this course works. But gets very muddy with raiin due to high water table being surrounded by a lake

This was our second time playing here. We played a few months ago and only played 9 holes and enjoyed it. We came back in town and were excited to play again and play the whole 18. We paid for 18 and was was told the back nine was closed due to aeration that day and we would have to play the front nine twice. We were given a free bucket of range balls considering we had paid the higher cost. The front nine had been aerated the day before which is fine as we’ve played on aerated greens. These were in absolute horrible conditions with about several pounds of sand which created a very thick layer. Essentially there was little to no green surface in visible sight to putt on and only thick sand. I was super excited to get back into town and see the whole course and play again but ended up being highly disappointed. It’s the height of the golf season so I would expect the conditions to be in better shape. Not sure if I’ll return to see those back 9 holes.

We played this course in the spring and it was in great condition. A brutal summer has taken it’s toll on a few greens and tee boxes. Nevertheless I will continue playing here, knowing that this fall and spring the course will rebound.

Came down for family vacation. Brought my clubs incase i needed a break. Found this Gem. Awesome spot. Close by. Well maintained, and above all, very friendly. Had a great round. Will return next year!
