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.

Slow round

Had a foursome that ended up with 2 holes open in front of them and 3 groups behind them. Brought it up to Marshall and he just said by the clock they were ok.

Stumpy lake

The course should advise golf now that the back nine is closed for maintenance and the front nine greens were aerated and heavily sanded.

Good Course, Long Course!!!!

Great course, long course yardage wise. It has pretty good run off areas if you hit a errand tee shot. Pace of play is great. Staff is friendly. The course is also in a great area it’s behind Stumpy Lake so no houses, cars are around it’s very quiet. I would recommend this course for others. Overall my favorite course in the Hampton Roads area.

Course needs some work

Tee boxes were hard as rock throughout. Sometimes I needed two hands to get a tee in the ground. Pace of play was horrendous and people were the really obnoxious type that acted like they owned the place, turned back for clubs they left, and dropped covers with no consideration for others. I wasn't a fan of the par 5s because the trees are too high around the dog legs so your teeing off on a par 5 with a 5 iron which I prefer not to do. Greens were just ok. Ambieance was nice because you are not around traffic. Wouldn't recommend unless you get a hot deal.

Average Conditions

The front 9 greens were marked up pretty well. It looks like nobody replaces their ball marks. Hard to putt. Back 9 greens were much better! Tee boxes need a lot of work. Overall a decent course for the money.

Best Day of Golf In A Long Time

I read some of the other reviews and I don’t think I played the same course that they did. I played at Stumpy Lake Golf Course. This course is in the best shape it’s ever been in. The tee boxes were good. The fairways were perfect. The greens were fast but had just been cut. Bring some bug spray. Golf carts were great. I can’t complain about a thing. I’ll be coming back weekly. The price to play was excellent.h

Sandy Greens

If you are planning on playing Stumpy i would wait a week or two. The course is a bit beaten up with alot of dead spots and ground being repaired. Also the greens are horrendous and are like putting on a beach. They are in rough shape as well. Also make sure you bring bug spary as the mosquitos are out of control. I gave up after 9 but best of luck to you.

You get what you pay for!!

This was a cheap “Hot Deal” from the Golf Now App.

I’m glad I didn’t pay $50 or more.

$3 for a bottle of water.

Pace of play was diabolical. As a single, I was stuck behind a 5 ball (yes - I said 5 ball) and they wouldn’t let me play through.

Hackers!!

Tee boxes not good.

Greens were running around a 7 on the stint and not in great condition.

I think I’ll skip playing there for the rest of this season.

We had the course to ourselves

It was a beautiful day for golf. The course was in really good shape minus a few wet spots from earlier heavy rain. I felt like we had the course to ourselves which was surprising. Took us 3:10 mins for 18 which was fantastic.
