Honey Bee Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Pretty good.
Course was in good shape despite the previous days rainfall. Greens were in good shape. Some tee boxes were in bad shape, but still playable.
Incredibly Rude Staff
Too short course with mediocre conditions, but the real problem is the guy at the desk in the pro shop. He is incredibly rude and clearly doesn't care if customers have a good day or plan to return. I spoke with some of the regulars, and the nicest thing any of them said was "He's always like that...Just a terrible attitude." Why any course or business would have someone like this as their contact with the public is just inexplicable. I've seen reviews on several sites calling them out for this guy, but apparently they don't care.
Great Course
One of the best in the area. Greens were in great condition. Provided some challenging shots as well as scoring opportunities. Driving range was a bit beat up, but still functional. Don’t forget to get a beer for the price of your score at the end (87= $0.87)
Great course
I think if you played here before then you know pace of play is a little slow at times. Course is in the best condition I’ve ever seen it in. I will definitely be going more often.
Great Round...Course was in great condition as ALWAYS
Again...course was in great condition...people were friendly. Play was a little slower this time, but nothing unusual for a July sunday morning.
Great Course - Always a fun round
Great course with challenging holes. Some involving risk/reward decisions. Good driving range. Food in the clubhouse is good.
After 2 inches of rain...
...the night before I was surprised that an 854 tee time would be 90 degree on carts. While the course was not bone dry as earlier in the summer, it was much better than I expected. Greens were receptive and fairways were in good shape. Even the normally grumpy starter was in a good mood.
Pace was a bit slower than usual and no marshal ever came out to get the group in front of us moving a bit. BUT it was a Sunday and we still finished in about 4.5 hours. Definitely NOT terrible, but a little prodding every now and then is not a bad thing.
Worth the money
Tee boxes were in great shape. Greens were okay. Challenging layout with some chances to score.
Great Shape
Course is in the best shape it has been in a while. Tee boxes and greens are terrific. The only gripe is the pro shop guy, very professional, but the starter/ cart assign guy has a bit of an attitude at times. But once you're out on the course, everything was fantastic.
