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.

Forgiving and challenging course at the same time

Course provides a good diversity of holes but doesn’t overly punish the high handicappers. Pace was a little slow on a perfect weather Saturday(busy day) but not unbearable.

Average golfer, first time playing

Very nice course considering dead of winter. Will have to go again in months to come. Fairways had decent drainage, hard I think due to low temps.

Course was challenging and water hazards were very difficult for me for some reason. Other courses not so much, but these ones really will force one to be extra cautious and maybe take a shorter shot.

Will play there again!

Signs in front of the Gold Tees

Played from tips today, on at least two holes the hole sign was in front of the Gold Tees. Definitely was a hazard and in potential flight path coming of the Tee.

Wet but beats a day inside

Hadn't played here in years but it was a good day on the course. It was really wet. The front was cart path and back 90 degrees. Still had a blast on the course with our crew. Will surely rerun when the weather is nicer. Staff was friendly and professional. Can't do anything about the rain season just be glad it didn't snow.

Not Bad

Course itself was in decent shape. Tee boxes are what really need work. Only 1 hole (outside of Par 3's) was cart path only. (dur to being super wet). Love this course overall and definitely recommend this course.
