Honey Bee Golf Club
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.

Great course for the money.
This course has a great layout, the greens are fair & in good condition. I would highly recommend playing this course. The rates are very reasonable.
Love this course
Great course to play. One of my favorites in the area. Greens are getting bad at the end of the season and the sand is hard.
Honey Bee
Been playing here for many years but hadn’t played in about a year. Best condition I have seen the course in for a long time. A few greens have a few burned areas but all in all they were soft and fast. Loved it and will be back soon. Doesn’t hurt I shot my career low round!
Overall great course. Always enjoy playing here. Would like to see more golfers fill their divots and repair ball marks on the greens.
Bad timing?
Golfed here last year, maybe the time and day had something to do with it but, crowded at 645 am on a Monday morning, we had a foursome, me and my three adult sons, two of which are new to the sport, had to let two threesomes pass us, one of our carts died at hole number 4, and then we were scolded by the greenskeep to keep up with play and we were 1 and a half holes behind. The course was flooded the greens not kept and again felt very rushed, but for the money and new players, the price was acceptable.
