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

A good course. Great layout and scenery. A few of the greens and tee boxes were affected by the weather .

First time after many years and realized I missed a gem.

The staff was friendly and helpful!

A Day at the Lakes

Enjoyed playing this course a lot. It’s very forgiving for those who don’t play as often as we like. Wide fairways and shallow tree lines.

Several Greens are not up to par

Still enjoyed playing. The only problem is a lot of waiting time between holes due to crowded schedules. The time interval between teetime is so short that leaves players waiting all the way to the 18th teebox. Always 2 groups at the teebox waiting for their turn while one group is on the fairway and another group on the green. Teetime intervals should be spaced out better. Our teetime was 11:45 but didn’t actually teeoff til 12:10 and finished at 5:45pm

Good layout

Good course for the money. Greens need some help but I like playing out in the woods no houses on this course anywhere.

Great Layout But

The course has a great layout and is in a very good location. While the fairways were in good shape, the tee boxes and greens were less than desirable.

Great value

This course is a great one for anyone that’s working on their game. A few minor spots need some attention, but overall pretty decent conditions. Staff is great. Pace of play could be better but to be fair it was the first nice Saturday we’ve had in months so not that surprised it was busy. Group ahead would let the group in front of them clear the greens on par 4s before teeing off 40 yards. Slowed things down a lot. But overall a good course to play a round.

I Enjoy This Course!

Very forgiving fairways. Pace of play very quick on the weekends. Went after a rain event and the course was quite wet. Some of the putting greens have unusual slopes which I enjoy. The most challenging hole is 17 which seems endless. Then 18 has a water feature right before the green. Cart lady available with drinks making regular rounds.

Ladies bathroom is clean, they have a good area with friendly staff with food and drinks. There's also a pro shop but all items are just for men.

Overall I like this course, it's on my regular rotation.

Enjoyed the round.

Stumpy Lake was in the usual playing form. The greens were were quick and I liked that. Pace seemed slow. Then talked wit a marshall on the 8th tee and we were right on the scheduled pace of 2 hr 10 min. Still 4 hrs to play a round should be plenty. Overall it was a fun day of golf.

Ok course but a few issues to address

Course was in decent shape. Fairways had a few patches of dirt but nothing that created a huge problem. Several of the greens however need some help. It could be because they are bent grass and the weather is really hot lately but on several of the greens they have patches where the grass was lost and I had to move my ball several feet so I was putting in grass rather than dirt. Pace of play was too slow 5:30 to play 18 but it was a Saturday so a little slower is to be expected. Overall not a bad place to play but could be improved with some minor adjustments. Oh cut your darn driving range warm up consisted of hitting a small bucket from the rough but on the driving range.
