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.

Course has some shot making holes
haven't played this course in a while. course was pretty tough with 30 mph winds
Thin fairways
Was disappointed with thin, grassless fairways in a lot of spots. Rough was also thin. Maybe it was due to bad winter. Layout good, greens good.
Nice course to play
Enjoyed playing this course. It's got some challenging holes, and a few forgiving ones, but it plays well. Every hole is different and the greens are quick and sloped pretty well. Greens were aerated so they were tough to putt. Will play this course again.
Hard winter
I really like the course just rough wet winter conditions, fairway wet and green were just airate and sanded. Sand traps horrible.
Well Maintained Course
The golf course is located in an urban setting, so many of the holes are lined with residential or commercial properties. With that said, the course is designed very well. The club house is very nice along with the staff. The course looks like it drains much faster than other local courses. The pace of play was great up until we got behind a 5-some. Could not get by them. The is a very well maintained course and very clean. I'll play here again.
Cold but fun
This course is well maintained. Frozen patches in a few areas but overall condition was great for Wintertime.
A good round of golf!
The weather was good on a December morning! However, the course was so soaked and muddy. It does not seem that they have good drainage system. But we still had a good time!
Great Place to Golf
Great course, a nice mix for the novice and the expert. Food is not the strong suit only have hot dogs & BBQ, so....eat before you go.
Great Course this is must play
My friend and I played this course in October and the weather that day was perfect, the course was in good shape and the greens were in descent shape. I would highly recommend this course for others to play.
Great Value
Two of us played on Veterans' Day and got really lucky with some unseasonably nice weather. The course was in fantastic shape. I have an almost automatic habit of playing "summer rules" all year 'round and trying to get a good lie in the fairways. There was no need to do that as the fairways were great. The greens were also outstanding. Soft enough to hold an approach shot and they gave true rolls. I really should play this course more often, and I highly recommend it.
The course was challenging and fun
Honey Bee is challenging and well maintained. Well worth the money spent and I will be back
Challenging
Not really for the novice or occasional type players, as there seems to be lot of more experienced golfers that play this course regularly that are at a much faster pace which they either end up playing through or waiting for the slower higher handicapped players.
Great course in great condition.
From the friendly greetings to the excellent condition of the course, Honey Bee is a wonderful golf club. Greens were fast but receptive to well placed approach shots. The fairways were very good and the rough is what a rough should be - penalizing. There is enough water to be intimidating but not unfair. Keep it in the fairway and you can score well. Get out of the fairway and there are some high numbers possible.
awesome greens
great course with soft greens and perfect fairways. They supply you with plenty of sand to repair divots but unfortunately most golfers don't know how to use it. greens were perfect not too fast and not too slow.
Course, staff, all great
Course in great condition, staff very friendly. Took a friend,enjoyed our day, and the price was economical.
It is a good track
Greens had just been punched so putting is what you would expect. I like the layout and play it whenever there is a deal
Honey Bee is in terrific condition & as challenging as ever!!
It had been several years since we'd been on Honey Bee, we feared the recent rains would have made things soupy. Not so! Obviously there has been great attention paid to past drainage/standing water issues. Well pleased with our entire golf experience at Honey Bee in Virginia Beach! !
Fiarways and greens in good shape
Played in less than 3 1/2 hours. Course in good condition.
