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.

Solid course

Even though the course was very muddy due to rain, had a nice layout. Staff allowed a group of 5 to play and did not address the issue.

For the want of a breeze

Really enjoyable course, although the hook I played at the first tee should have told me how the overall round was going to go.

As a newbie to the golf world it was nice that this course had a lot of wide open fairways, which given how often I missed them really was a testament to how badly I played

First few greens have some damage and don't look great, and the greens are playing quite fast right now (as are the fairways). The rough that surrounds isn't too bad almost as if they are trying to be an easy course to play. The one thing I was shocked at was that there wasn't a lot of water around the course.

Still a very enjoyable if very hot and humid round of golf, I will definitely be back to play this one again.

Terrible Tees

The tee boxes were so bad you could not put a tee in the ground. There were broken tees littering the tee boxes.

The fairways if you could call them that were more dirt than grass. The bunkers were also mostly dirt, but we paid full price.

The course was very crowded an pace of play was slow.

Thanks!

Takes way too long to check in and pay for round at pro shop. I felt like I was with my account doing my taxes. Also need to take better care of the course and greens. Many of the fairways are still extremely dry and hard. Some greens still had marks from air rating. Need a good greens keepers to fix those greens.

It is a nice course with really good views

It is a nice course it has really nice views of The lake but I do not think this is a 45 to $50 course It has bear spots on the fairways and the ball does not set up on the grass like it does on $50 courses But I do like stumpy Lake and I will play there when I can get a deal

Fun coarse

Only thing I could complain about is the tee boxes. They were pretty hard. Could barely get my tee in the ground on some holes.
