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.

First time on course

For my first time I enjoyed it for the most part. The pace was way too slow however there was group after group stacked on to eachother. Also the greens were just recently aerated with punch holes filled with sand with no discount.

Nice Golf Course.

Only bad thing was they were aerating the front nine so I had to play the back twice. Nice golf course for early March. I recommend and I will go back.

Great Course, but....

Our day at the course was good. For the time of year and the weather the course was in great condition! Our biggest issue was the pace of play, there consistently 2 or 3 groups, waiting at each tee box. Some groups abandoned play.. We discovered, on the back 9, the delay was caused by a foursome, that had morphed into an group of 6, and eventually a group of 8. It seemed like a birthday or bachelor party. I'm all about fun and was in no rush. But 5.5 hours to make it to the 17th tee box?? I wish the Marshall had dine a better job of monitoring the pace of play.

Secondly, when I made my reservation, I paid $6.00 via the app, and was to pay the final $90.00 at the course. Upon my arrival to the course I had to pay the full $96.00 plus tax. When I questioned it, the pro shop said "the app was wrong" and would not budge.

Fair course for the area

Course was ok. I would play again. Pretty busy for a Monday morning with walkers and riders. The front nine greens have some sand and patches.. The back nine greens were in better shape

Friend and I played from the golds. Very short course. The first hole has power lines running over the tee box and a few of the other tee boxes have the tee plaques on the tee box which are in the middle of shot lineups.

Nice but sand all over the greens

They must’ve recently sanded all the greens. If I had known that, I would not have gone. The course itself otherwise is in excellent shape. Unfortunately, we got behind some slow foursomes But that could happen anywhere.

First time playing here and really enjoyed it. Course was in great shape and seems to be very well maintained. My only gripe is the guy in the pro shop has a serious attitude problem.
