Honey Bee Golf Club
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.

Decent course
Father course layout is great, very fun and chsllenging. The greens were not in good shape but the rest of the course was in great shape.
A par 70 course with 6 par threes
The front and back nine both start out with par 5 holes. Fairly open on most holes. The course was in good shape considering all the recent rain. Challenging yet fun. I like playing whenever I am in the Virginia Beach area.
Overbooked Tee Time in a very wet condition
I have played this course every time I visit Virginia. The course obviously need a major drainage renovation!! As wet as it is, they took too many tee times around 8:00am. Out tee time was 7:59 and we have 2 groups of four some in front so us and 3 groups of 3 and four some behind us....SAD!!!

The course was in great condition, even though the last few days had heavy rains. The pace was the only negative issue - there was no Marshall on the course and as a result, a group of 6 played together and slowed the entire round. The group took an onordinate amount of time and did not allow anyone to play through.
Lots of water, but very playable
With all the rain we’ve had, all creeks and ponds are over flowing. Courses was in good shape however. Fairways moist but not soggy and greens in great shape. Pleasantly surprising how good the course was.
Nice course
Haven’t played this course in several years. In good shape. Some of the bunkers are GUR which we weren’t aware of before we played. Nevertheless, the greens and fairways were in good shape. It’s a par 70 and has several challenging holes. A good overall course worth playing.
Short but tough
From tee yo green, course was in great shape. A lot of dog legs, left and right. Need to place ball through out course. Fun to play.
Nice Course
This was my first time playing on this golf course. I found it challenging enough for an occasional golfer like myself. Lots of sand traps, and I seemed to be gravitating toward them often, so I got great practice with my sand wedge. Especially noticed how well kept the course was, free of leaves, debris, etc. and the fairways were not bumpy or rutty, even in the rough, it was not too bad. Carts were in great condition and the cart path was well kept and maintained. I have been to other courses in the area and find the cart path in terrible condition with tree roots buckling the paths throughout and their carts not well maintained. I will definitely be going to this course again.
Birthday Round
The course was in great condition and the weather was excellent! The staff was exceptional- especially because they had a blitz going on and still allowed singles go out ahead to avoid a slow pace.
Real nice course
Wonderful day at golf. You folks know how to maintain your course. The only problem was a couple of sand traps needed a little work. My goal is not to get in them.
The course is fine
Hard to be negative due to amount of rainfall the course was very wet. Not there fault but something to work on moving water from course. Honestly, the course was in great shape overall. Have always enjoyed golf there challenging but fair layout with greens that can be challenging. If your thinking about playing this course go for it you will not be disappointed.
Fun Course
This course in a bit of a challenge off the senior tees but lots of fun. Would have been better is NOT cart part only but that cannot be controlled. Greens are great but fairways are a bit spotty. Some of the traps were not maintained but those that were were good.
Very forgiving course...
And thus, one of my favorites. Course was not in great condition this year, but enjoyed my round nonetheless.
Good Value
Course in good condition. Greens hold well but get more challenging in the afternoon. Well worth the money
Honey Bee
The fairways and greens were in great shape. The staff was helpful and polite. If you get the chance play this beautiful golf course.
Nice course
Shorter than expected very scoreable if you keep it in play in great condition except for a few traps that need some help
