Stumpy Lake Golf Course is a Robert Trent Jones design that provides a unique golfing experience. This scenic layout is routed across a 1,400-acre nature preserve that is absent of any commercial or residential development for miles. The golf course wraps around its namesake lake, which has a canoe and kayak launch as well as a fishing pier. Deer, fox, and eagles are frequently seen on the course and there has even been the occasional bear sighting. Water has a prominent presence throughout and there are also several strategically placed bunkers. Stumpy Lake Golf Course is a layout that will force you to be creative with your shot making but it's still approachable enough for high handicappers to tackle with confidence. If you're looking to get in even more golf, sister club Honey Bee is located almost right next door.

Gonna be great in the spring/summer

Greens were potty with dead spots, and fairway was soaked. It rained 5 days prior and was surprised that the ground was still very saturated. Cart path only and a lot of mudd balls. Bunkers need a lot of work. Almost like hitting out of clay.

Patchy

The staff is helpful and courteous. I usually hit the course solo, and get put together with some great people, never had a bad experience in that area. I have noticed that more dirt/sand patches are coming in on the fairways, and definitely the greens. They need more attention.

This one is for the golfers... fix your divots on the green! Its great that you hit GIR, you don't need to leave proof for everyone behind you that you did. When I spend more time fixing divots than putting, don't complain about pace of play.

A hidden gem 10 minutes from home!

I have never played Stumpy Lake because of the high greens fees and the story’s of horrible course conditions.

I played one day after a huge rain storm dumped 2” of water on the course and other then NOT allowing my ball to “roll out” it was a good day! I played with the SAME ball I started with on the first tee the whole round!

The greens were rolling true, but were definitely under repair…in need of some TLC. Most of the bunkers had standing water so we played from the grass most times, but one bunker I did hit out of was like hitting off of concrete. A technique that I have perfected by playing other municipal golf courses in the area!! I would definitely go back on a dry day to compare rounds.

Great course overall

Tee boxes and greens need some work if they were in good shape this would be an almost 5 star review minus tee times being a little too close together.

Greens

Looks like they are attempting to work on the greens. Sandy spots on many greens, patch fills show the attempts to make the greens better. Otrher than that... People need to learn to fix their ball marks, and learn to pick up their feet while walking on the greens. Just lazy human beings. Not the fault of the establishment.
