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
Nice Layout Needs fine-tuning
Nice layout, interesting holes and water comes into play on quite a few holes.
Greens are fine, but the traps need a lot of work ( weeds, growing in some of the traps).
Fun course to play. Can be pricey on weekends for the quality of the course.
Solid value
From the start, the entirety of any interaction with staff was warm, welcoming, and professional. The clubhouse attendant even offered advice about how the course was playing that day.
The tee boxes are good, for the most part- some are extensively devoted and sandy with a decent slope. The fairways range from perfect to needing some love but nothing that was detrimental. There were no swamps or dead patches. The rough was well maintained, the bunkers were very solid so they hadnt been tilled or mixed but that probably helped me out 😅. The only semi negative was the greens. They were taken care of but it was like the course was switched to pro difficulty on the greens. They were fast and super unforgiving with some pin placements in the craziest ridges.
All and all we are making this a regular course on our schedule and I would recommend it to anyone. Its got a more open course for beginners but requires some Veteran touch to get over water on some holes.
Very nice coarse
I've only played a couple of courses in Virginia beach. This is the best coarse so far. I definitely recommend.
Fine course
This is always a fun, challenging course. It’s fairly short on the scorecard but plays longer with doglegs. Greens ran very fast. Driving range was mats only. The price is basically normal for golf these days. Definitely recommend.
Honey Bee review
Nice course layout, could be a nice challenge for newer golfers. Sandtrap were mud traps. Not too bad pace of play. Good price for range balls before the round too.
Too much time finding lost balls
My biggest complaint here and other places . Is if you lose you ball, conform with the rule of 3 minutes . To many take longer . Plus if you tend loose alot of balls buy cheap or used ball since obviously the fancy ones they are not helping you !!! I'm not really that good and if I know I wack a ball and it lost i may take 2minutes max if I think it's findable then drop and move on. I do buy used balls !!!
Will Return Again!
First time playing at Honey Bee. I've always heard it's a "short course" (par 70) BUT it is not easy, a lot of water features and the sand bunkers are like giant craters. Some holes I had zero idea where the pins were (behind 40 ft tall trees of course).
It was definitely challenging to me. We played after a rain storm and some of the bunkers were turned into water fixtures. One for the holes held a lot of water so it doubled as a water fixture. So definitely a hard day. At least I have an idea what to expect next time.
Poor pace of play
First time playing this course from 2 years ago. Very unorganized from the get go with no starter. Tee time was 1050 and didn’t tee off until 1108. Foursome in front of us were extremely slow and playing from blue tees, but probably should have played from the senior tees. Spoke to the clubhouse and mentioned slow pace from them but did nothing. A lot rain earlier in the week which made for standing water at times in the fairways and bunkers which I understand, but maintain the bunkers that aren’t affected.
Great Time.
Really like the course. Layout for the course is great nice and wide’ish. The best part you can stretch your long game on course and the green were running fast for at lest for me.
