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
Course is good and challenging. My only complaint is the start. My tee time was 949 and we didn't start until almost 1030. This wasn't the first time this happened there either. It won't stop me from returning but will possibly start later.
Great Round
Course is challenging with some difficult water holes and long par 5's. Staff was friendly and the course was in good condition. Pace of play could have been better as there was a foursome and 2 some ahead of me that were poor golfers that slowed the pace and were in no hurry to let anyone in front of them.
Dana West
The course offered challenges on most holes. It was in good condition except for the expected wet spots from the recent rain. The weather was perfect which made the day great
HoneyBee
Course was in decent shape bunkers were a little low on sand but tee boxes, fairways, and greens were nice a little slow on the pace 4:45 mins but not too bad overall a good bargain round in virginia beach
Perfect Conditions
For late April, the fairways were very well, manicured. The best I've seen this year. It was 80 degrees and could not have asked for better condition s, even after an evening of thunderstorms. Great pace of play too!
Course has some shot making holes
haven't played this course in a while. course was pretty tough with 30 mph winds
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.
