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.

Disappointing - Very Disappointing

I am going to preface this review by saying that I wouldn't normally complain about the state of a course during the winter season. Wouldn't NORMALLY, but for the condition of the two sister courses being so much better.

Greens are sandy, like they just filmed a Baywatch reunion.

Fairways are bald in places and in clear need of repair, but left ignored.. I am not talking about patches as a result of divots, I am talking about large areas caused by neglect.

This course provides a great challenge to golfers, and it set in a beautiful wetlands/parkland but delivers very poorly on its potential.

I have never regretted a round of golf, but after this one I regretted not going to Honey Bee or Chesapeake instead.

I will say though that the fella who was the starter was absolutely first class!!!

There is a reason tee times are always available

The tee boxes are uneven and the greens are as rough as a gravel road. You can literally watch your ball bounce going to the hole. I realize it’s only the end of February, but there is no excuse for the course condition. The price should reflex if they are going to continue at their current rate.

Don't play here

For the premium price, the course should have been in better shape. The front nine played slow. On the ninth hole, the owner told us us we had to speed up because we were holding up the whole couse and there were 2 empty holes in front of us. We skipped the ninth and went on to the tenth. When we got there we were the fourth foursome on the hole. This made my playing partners very angry at the owner and ruined their round. The course was overbooked to say the least. When we got finished there were about 15 players waiting for carts. I don't need this BS on a course. I won't go back!

Poor course condition

The tee boxes are so uneven and rough it’s hard to find a level spot to tee off. The greens have had bald spots since this summer. I would go more often if the course condition reflected the price.

Unprofessional

Starter was rude and unprofessional. He was already several tee times behind before 8AM and did not manage the pace of play well. Tee times should be honored and singles should be encouraged to play through. Disappointed with the behavior of the starter.

Unprofessional

The starter this day was very rude and unprofessional. I arrived for my scheduled tee time only to be told that two groups were going going to jump ahead of me. Mind you I was playing as a single and paid for an early tee time for a reason. Very disappointed in the rude attitude and lack of professionalism of the starter this day. It’s a shame

Great Course

Great course to play, however, the tee boxes have seen better days. Greens really need some help. Overall pace of play and course layout is awesome. Be mindful of the wild turkeys and deers that run around.

Horrible course conditions

The course layout is ok but the greens were probably the worst I’ve ever seen. They were unplayable on certain holes. A lot of bare spots with tons of tree roots even in the fairways. A lot of water trenches as well. Due to the conditions of greens the course should have posted a notice or informed at checkin. The greens were worst then playing right after aeration.

Course condition

Cost was high for very poor conditions. Greens had a lot of sand, mold, sometimes very wet. Sand was like concrete. Fairway was not cut in a lot of areas
