About

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.

Good play

Right in the heart of Virginia Beach lays this wonderful golf course called Honey Bee. Maintained better than most. Nice greens, some with tricky lies. Excellent clubhouse, pro shop, snack bar and restaurant...

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.

Don't let the short length fool you

I like short courses occasionally. This one is a par 70 but plenty of interesting holes. The greens are easy to read but subtle; I was close all day but rarely in. Very nice afternoon.

The best

Best course that’s not a country club. Greens are pure, tee boxes are solid. You pay for what you get, and their hot deals are awesome

Fun short course

No complaints other than people please fix your divots on the green. Sort of a slow pace of play, but not the worst.

One of my favorites...but those bunkers!

Have always loved playing Honey Bee. Visually appealing, challenging holes. But something has to be done about the bunkers. Some spots are very fluffy and nice, others are hard pan with a sprinkling of sand to make it look pretty.
