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.

Great course value

First time playing stumpy lake and I will certainly go back. Course was very wet but that is to be expected with the time of year and weather we’ve had. Greens were quick and somewhat deceptive which made for a fun round.

Good Value - Nice Course

Stumpy Lake is kept in very good condition and the greens are especially well maintained, so you get a smooth roll and slope. I got an excellent price through TeeOff (same as GolfNoow), so it’s good to play a nice course in decent condition for as excellent price.
