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.

Golfer Reviews
Honey Bee status
I thought the course was in good shape... the course was actually in the bunkers trying to rake and maintain. Even had a pump going to remove water. Although, not their fault, greens had a lot of ball marks... players need to repair divots... greens are slow... not a knock! Players have to putt to the greens...
Respect for Paying Customers
Course is in great shape. Greens are firm and don't hold well on approaches, but then downhill putts don't roll out as fast as you would expect.
On the date played there was an event scheduled (Owner's 80th birthday. Happy Birthday, Merv) and staff came out to water greens and rake bunkers which made for interference by greenskeeping staff.
Also, no marshalls for speed of play. Had a 5-some in front of us and they were at least a hole and a half behind the group in front of them. Never waved us up and while it was a Sunday morning, pace of play should always be respected.
Love this course, but some of the staff decisions are questionable.
Needs some work
Greens not that good need some work and tee boxes for sure
great place for the money
I play here relatively often, always enjoy it, staff always friendly, course uaually in pretty good shape, some really fun and challenging holes. great value for the cost
more difficult then I expected
reading other reviews some said it was challenging - some said it wasn't - but for an older person it can be very challenging. the layout at some points were hard to understand - being a first time playing there some holes were hard to find.
Rate is not worthy for the course
Green condition is terrible here.
Fairway is just ok.
Staffs are rude . They don't treat you as customers .
One of the best courses in the area
Honeybee golf course was a dream to play on. Fairways were lush, all greens were consistent in speeds and looked great. A few too many par 3s for my taste, but the course layout gave you all you can ask for. Some dog legs, straight aways, and risk/reward holes with cutting corners or over water on a 2nd shot of a par 5. The course makes you play a lot of different clubs and for the creative shot maker, they will have plenty to think about. Driving range isn't the largest and is pretty narrow, a pretty small putting green and chipping area with practice bunker are also available, but only for paying customers. Overall course was fantastic and i would highly recommend as one of the best courses in the area. Played this on a hot deal, try to book early and you will be happy with the ROI.
Decent course for the money
Course is typically in pretty good shape. Greens are just ok but the layout and property is excellent. The food is pretty good and staff in the snack/ bar area are excellent.
The pro shop is decent not much of a selection like other courses in the area. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful, well everyone other Mike the “ golf pro” he is very inconsistent with his pricing and extremely Moody and arrogant. I would recommend stumpy lake or even take a drive to Suffolk both of those courses are well ran with great professionalism.
Shannon,
I'm sorry that you had a bad experience with Mr. Nolan.
Mr. Nolan goes by our pricing that we have set forth, so no pricing should change.
Now if you are paying for 9 Holes and play 18 holes, that would change the pricing matrix.

Enjoyable course
Have played here many times for many years. fun and challenging course, usually always in good shape, very enjoyable, will continue to play here.
Great staff and clean facility
First time playing this course. Not a long course. Water hazards and bunkers make this course challenging from the back tees. Good value.
Thank You so much for the outstanding 4-Stars!!
