Stumpy Lake Golf Course

The last time I played Stumpy Lake I was 14 living in Virginia Beach so saying that I played this course before is based more a literal truth than experience. Having said that, I’m 59 now and my experience with the course this time was very good. My wife, who just took up the game 4 years ago, appreciated the generous forward tees. They allowed her to be competitive with me at times, especially on the par 3’s. The greens were a little chewed up, likely from the rate of play but They rolled pretty good and would hold a shot. The fairways were in great shape. We thoroughly enjoyed our round and will play this Robert Trent Jones design again the next time we are in the area.

Greens in bad shape. Rough so high you have to step on your ball to find it. Very frustrating day. Need so dry weather to get course in shape.

Course overall in good shape unfortunately the same could not be said for the greens-lots of bare spots on many of them

Stumpy Lake is a very nice public course with no houses. It is an excellent vallue, especially with GOLFNOW.

I will be back in Virginia Beach next summer and will make Stumpy Lake my home course.

I love the layout for the course challenging but still fun. My only issue was the heavy machinery running the whole time I was playing and not bothering to move off the fairways or turn down the engines. Which slowed the play a bit. I fully understand there was a bad some that came through the area and they did an amazing job getting the course playable so soon afterwards. Even with this issue I still had a great time and will continue to play this course.

Great looking clubhouse. The staff was nice and professional. The marshal was a great guy that gave us some tips about the course before we started. The course itself was beautiful....until you got to greens. I don't think anyone has ever fixed a divot there. Every putt was a bet on which way your ball was going to bounce. Fix the greens and the rating will be 5 star. The layout was great, it just ended badly on every green.

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. ;)

Everything’s are great except the tee box, the ground is to hard to put the tee.

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.

Great views, fun course. Gets soggy but drains well. Very friendly staff.

Love to play here.

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