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.

Nice course that is nearby. That makes you play smart to score well.

The sand traps were in sad shape, very little sand. the fairways and greens were nice. The starter was not too nice. The person at the counter was nice. I would play this course again. I played with a local retired man who played well and it was very enjoyable. The second round I played with 2 retired locals and shot 3 under par after the first 6 holes. Then I promptly double boggied the next hole, go figure. It is a course you have to play smart.

Excellent Golf Course

Really enjoyed playing a course that is well maintained and managed by a great staff. Fairways and greens in excellent shape. Off the fairways the thick, deep grass is a challenge put fun to play.

This course was a fab find. There are some very interesting holes and quite a few challenges together with good conditions and well maintained greens. For the money I don't think it can be beat!!!

One of the better courses in the area for the price

I played here for the first time last year and liked the course layout and more importantly the condition. Fairways and greens were in excellent shape and the "hot deal" price made it a no-brainer to play here.

I will be playing here again when in town again.

Good course. Good price

Booked it on a hot deal. Course staff was friendly. It rained but we're able to complete the round. Played here multiple times. Some of there bunkers were under repair but no biggie. Good course for the price.
