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.

Beachin' it..

Down here on our annual trek to Va Beach - decided to do Stumpy again. We did this track a couple years ago during a soggy week and had a lousy round. Today, on the other hand, was very pleasant. We had 6 guys out. All had a good time. Greens were better than avg. Ball marks here and there but overall in good condition. Tee boxes in fair condition. Beer from the bar was colld as well. It's the little things that matter. ;)

Bring a drill for the tee boxes

We booked a 2-some and were supposed to be paired up with another 2, but ended up getting a really excellent golfer who had already played the back 9. After 1-9 he left and we were behind another 2-some with a 2-some on our tail. Good course management would have put us together but we were happy to play on. The tee boxes are basically solid concrete. It is next to impossible to get a tee in the ground easily, and I often broke them setting up. That being said, the people were great, helpful and courteous. The overall course was clean, and well maintained. Would be happy to play there again.

course was in pretty good shape

It has improved over the last couple of weeks. It could be better if people would fix their ball marks on the greens.

Off to a slow start

My 7 year old daughter and I had a tee time at 6am. After traveling in from NC and arriving late I failed to set an alarm. We arrived at the course at 6:30am and they squeezed us in to an already tight schedule. The course was great, staff was super friendly, and the cart was plush. I’ll definitely come come next time we visit.

Extremely Slow Pace of Play

Poorly managed course where they overbook, last two times there, at least four groups waiting on 1st teen box. Don’t bother playing here unless you want a 5 1/2 hour pace of play

Fast Greens

Decent course conditions today. Fairways were ok with some bare hardpan spots in the center. Greens were very fast and it was difficult to get a ball to check and sit, most rolled out much farther than expected. Just about anywhere you hit it off the tee you could somewhat find your way out of trouble. Friendly staff. I'll go back again if I can find another good deal on a round.

Covid 19 standards abandon

After bookinh a 2 player round. Course personel informed us that in order to ride seperate carts additional money would charged. Stated that this was because I used the Golf Now App. I did not see any flags during booking that this was the case. If we had booked separately, would I had to ride with a total stranger booking the same available tee time via the app? If this is the standard please advise so that myself and others can reconsider app booking and courses we decide to golf.
