Stumpy Lake Golf Course
About
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.

Stumpy
I appreciated the nice staff and great environment greens were a little tore up in some areas but it’s hard to maintain courses in Virginia Beach weather so it could’ve been just the timing I went was wrong and they were having a bad month
This is the first time I’ve ever played stumpy lake where I’ve had complaints. I love the course played it a dozen times, but the tee boxes was like concrete and the bunkers were solid as a rock too. Other than that the course is awesome.
Tee time doesn’t equal start time
Booked a 7:56 tee time and got to the tee box ready to tee off at 7:50. The only problem was that there were 4 groups ahead of us with earlier tee times, so we didn’t actually tee off until 8:30. The only complaints on the course are that the greens were bumpy and not kept up and you basically needed a hammer to push your tees into the ground.
Great place to play for the money
Pace of play was amazing, staff were great, and the course was in decent shape
Great for the money
Course was in pretty good condition, staff was friendly and the pace of play was excellent.
Favorite course in VA beach Area
This is my favorite course in the VA beach area, even though it does need some work on certain holes / putting greens. I shot my best at this course as a high handicap player (89) and I enjoyed the nature scenery it has. You'll occasionally see some deer and turkeys on the course which I thought was really cool. No houses/homes/cars in sight on this course which is a plus IMO.
They have a full driving range, chipping and putting area. The club house has all the food and drinks you need to keep you going.
Once the course is in better condition, I believe it has the potential to be PGA level and rival Red Wing Lake Golf Course.
Still going strong
When this course is not flooded, as this was the case today, I recommend playing. Greens were slow in the morning but by 11 am, they were a little faster. Fortunately the water containers were full and the water was cold. The heat & humidity was in full force by 10 am. The staff was very accommodating especially when I made a snafu in scheduling a tee time. Instead of scheduling for a foursome I did a single. My other partners were already at the clubhouse and their names were not listed. Lucky for us and me in particular we were squeezed in
Course is just okay
Course is in just OK condition at best. Large dirt and dead spots on the greens/fairways/tee boxes. Greens roll painfully slow. Course layout is good and fun to play though. Most of the grass in the tee boxes were so long it was equivalent to hitting out of the rough which is definitely not optimal.
Nice course
Very nice Course but very slow play probably due to holiday. Will definitely go back.
Great Value
Cool public course. Not good after rainy periods. This course sits low so better when it hasn't rained for a few days. The back nine is tougher than the front. Fairways are wide.
SLOW PLAY
Tee times only 7 minutes apart is ridiculous. If you don't tee off very early, then you will be getting started late. Then 5 hours to play ruins the day. Will not be back.
