Stumpy Lake Golf Course
About
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.

Gorgeous view of Stumpy Lake Photo submitted by Realestateangels on 11/06/2014
Great course for a round
It was a great course considering a month ago it was trashed. Great work over the last 30 days.
Ton
The greens need a lot of work. To many dry ground, it's like an obstacle course when putting. Fairways are in good condition. Still couldn't understand why the humongous hole at the 10th.
Greens Need Work
The fairways were in pretty good shape, but the greens were in a terrible condition. Lots of bare spots and grass was better on fairways than the greens. Also, the course was pretty soggy with moderate amount of rain the previous day. It made for muddy conditions.
Great course wrong day
This course need a a few months to fix their greens. Been playing here for years but they need to close and fix things before accepting money for their greens.
It is not good when the fairways are in much better shape than the greens. Not just from arreation, more bare dirt than a garden plot.
Had a good time!
Got to do 18 holes and it was a little warm but the breeze was nice. Enjoyed watching the boaters & boarders, and the little critters as well
Love this Course
Everyone is so friendly and even thought the course is recovering from a very hot summer, it is fun to play and the natural setting beautiful.
Nice course The Seals movie was shot here
The course is well laid out and fairly challenging sitting on a series of lakes in Virginia Beach. Unfortunately the course was not in very good shape, the greens were in very poor shape making them a challenge as they were almost impossible to read for speed or break, the grass was burnt and diseased. The fairways were very wet and there was no bounce to balls hit well making the course play longer. This is basically a very nice course, when the greens get back into shape and the fairways dry out it will be a fun course to play.
Sad
This is always been a nice course, but has not been maintained at all. Fairways are horrible and greens are bare in about 30% of area. Rough is not maintained either. A once nice track is inn horrible shape.
Great Course, but...
So, right off the bat I will tell you that I've played this course now 4 times over the last 3 years of playing golf in the VA Beach area during my vacation. I have never any issue here until this year where there were mosquitos swarming me and my playing partner on at least 5 different occasions. I really like the course but this issue really ruined the experience, unfortunately. As for course difficulty, I am not a good golfer, and yet this course doesn't frustrate me like some others do. We've got one more good day during this vacation before the rains come in and due to the mosquitos, I'll be trying another area course. Otherwise, I would certainly have come back for a 5th time.
Course Neglected
The course appears to be in poor condition due to neglect. The tee boxes were not mowed and had alot of weeds, the fairways were overgrown and the greens were burnt, rough and unplayable.
Crummy lake
This was the worse course I have played in years. The tee box is poorly designed. The greens were burned badly. The ground crew were cutting grass while we played. Spend your money else where.

I'm sorry about our greens, We missed judged the weather for June/July. And we are working hard to get everything back to normal.
We would love for you to give us another try on us, once we are back to normal.

Shouldn't be charged for this course
This course was in horrible shape this week. All of the greens are burnt out. It also seemed like they hadn't cut the grass this week.

I'm sorry about our greens, We missed judged the weather for June/July. And we are working hard to get everything back to normal.
With all the rain we had, we didn't want to cut them so low that it would leave grass clippings everywhere
We would love for you to give us another try on us, once we are back to normal.

Sad Greens
The course overall in pretty good shape, but the greens awful, mostly playing on dirt. With the greens in the shape they're in first they should let you know before you tee-off and second give you a discount because they were so bad. I wouldn't recommend the course right now, but when the greens are back yes I would.
Hollice,
I'm sorry about our greens, We missed judged the weather for June/July. We would love to have you back!! And thank you for your kind words about when our greens are in good shape!!

Unhelpful staff
I booked my tee time through golf now, and had put in to play on a Sunday and somehow the date got reverted to Wednesday. I get an email on Thursday showing that I missed my tee time and was being charged full amount for not show. I immediately call golf now to find out how my time I thought I had booked for Sunda got moved to Wednesday and told them I may have made the mistake and not noticed it changed back, but never the less I wanted to still play Sunday. I knew there woukd be a difference in price which I was more than happy to pay if they would have moved my day to Sunday and worked with me. The manager of the proshop Jessie was of no help or understanding of the issue. It's just sad that a business establishment would rather lose business than to have worked with me on it and kept me playing. I understand the cancellation fees and what not but I feel it would have been different if I just wanted a refund and didn't want to play but to turn away golfers who want to play at your course and have no customer service I feel is bad for buisness. Ended up going to Virginia Beach National (First Tee) and played 18 Sunday. I'm not upset about the lost money I'm upset that the course was unwilling to work with someone who wanted to come play at there course for the first time. I play golf pretty regularly and can promise Stumpy Lake will never get anymore of my money.
Good Afternoon,
First off I'm sorry that this happened and I completely understand your frustration.

The only good thing about someone "Rejecting" Stumpy Lake is that I get to play without a lot of crowds. This year was an exception, it is always in good shape, nice people a joy to paly
