Nestled in the heart of Virginia Beach, Honey Bee Golf Club is one of the area's most popular daily-fee golfing venues. Rees Jones designed the course, incorporating water on 10 holes as well as intricate bunkering throughout. The challenging layout has several tricky doglegs and some treacherous blind shots as well. It's a golf course that demands careful course management and some strategic thinking. Accurate shot placement is also key when maneuvering the rolling fairways and contoured greens. While it's by no means an easy golf course, it is an enjoyable round for players of all skill levels, making it a popular venue for tournaments and corporate outings. For golfers looking to get an entire day of golf in, Honey Bee's sister club, Stumpy Lake, is only about half a mile away.

A Great day on the course!

We had a most wonderful round at Honey Bee on Friday, July 8. The course is in great shape; the pace of play was great, and the company was outstanding! Looking forward to the next round.

Toughest easiest course around the 757

It was really fun but if you don’t have a gps or someone who plays here all the time with you then you can get into trouble pretty quickly. Some tough holes with water in play and quite a few dog leg lefts and rights. Greens were rolling pretty good. It’s a good $30-40 dollar course. I wouldn’t spend more than $40 to play it but it was cool to say I’ve played there.
