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.

Course maintenance going on…

The greens were just done and there is so much sand, putting is a pain. Still a good course and not as wet as I thought it was going to be.

Still a local favorite!

Overpriced

54 dollars for aerated greens and sand. Pretty disrespectful to be honest, tee boxes are half grass half dirt, fairways are hit or miss , either giant puddles or weedy grass. It should be a crime to charge 54 dollars.

First Time Playing

Top notch course!

Went out for the first time to this course. Probably had the worst performance of my career but still a fun time. Course is forgiving and losing balls is not a issue if you was to spray and pray like I did that day. If you have your driver off the tee in order the day you visit this course, you’re money. Great course and will be returning.

Fun course but not worth the price

The course is definitely fun to play, but there aren’t any fairways…just weedy grass. They are full of dirt patches and divots. Some of the greens are alright while others need work. They are hard as a rock. The tee boxes definitely need work. Took 4.5 hours to get through 18 holes. Seems like they had groups going out every 4 minutes.

I do enjoy the staff and the uniqueness of some of the holes. I just wish the course was in better shape. For 31$ it’s ok, but 50$ on the weekend is definitely not worth it. Go to sewells point, VB National, or hells point.

Enjoyable

I’ve played this course 4 or 5 times. I love the layout and fast greens. Nice middle ground difficulty. Course conditions were not the best today. Course does not drain well. Overall very enjoyable course. Will come back and recommend.

Waste of money

I can’t believe this course has the audacity to charge people $45/$50for a round when three quarters of the greens look as if they’ve been set on fire or dried out to the point they look cracked like the desert floor. Tee boxes were hard as a rock. This was by far the worst course I’ve ever played.

Poor conditions

Course layout is great. Course conditions are horrible. Looks as if the greens were hit my asteroids. Tee boxes are hard as concrete. Nearly impossible to get a tee in the ground. Most bunkers are so hard that you can even make a divit or kick up sand on shots. I understand we haven't had rain but it seems as if they don't water anything at all. Won't play here until they improve!
