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.

Enjoyable course
Starter was welcoming and well organized . Course conditions are good greens are coming along but still roll nice. Overall good course for the season i played in, would recommend and play again
Poor management
Almost an hour behind schedule tee time. When paying for the round we were not notified of the delay and only found out from the marshal.
Asked for consideration when getting a bucket of balls and was told no. Driving range was in horrible condition and almost all dirt while clearly never being maintained.
Honeybee has gotten worse each time I’ve played and it is sad to see.
Hney Bee
First time visitor. Course was unusually wet, but you could tell from the debris and really wet places on the course that they have received an abundance of rain recently. I'm would guess that later this year the course will be in fine shape.
Covered in mud.
It seemed as though maintenance was lacking a bit. Most of the sand traps had more than a foot of standing water in them. This usually isn’t the case for Honey Bee. It’s early in the season though. I love the course and will be back.
Car path on three holes
Didn’t mind so much the car path only on three holes .. we didn’t like the golfer hitting down on us … he knew we had a foursome in front of us … very rude
Good place 👍🏻
Golf course is good and always in good shape slow play for November but it is what it is
Let’s gooooo
Pace of play let’s speed it up we
Are not pro’s hit and go it’s ridiculous how long sometimes it takes to play a round
A good test at a good price
It's a good track, variety of holes, used most of the clubs in the bag. Not overly long, but it makes up for that with relatively tough greens - quicker than you'd think, and with more subtle breaks than you see. Well, than I thought and than I saw! I had 41 shots and 39 putts (including 6 three-putts). Never could get the speed right.
Anyway, I'll be back.
Honey Bee is Sweet!
Our group of 3 enjoyed a great round of 18 on a Sunday that started out gloomy but for the last 9 holes it was a sunny beautiful fall day. The course is top notch with beautiful groomed fairways and greens. The highlight of the day was trying to navigate the last part of the back 9 through the challenging Bee Hive holes. We enjoyed the entire course and definitely will be back again.
Bad luck
We got paired up with two college guy who had never played golf...we had to constantly tell them it was their turn to hit...four groups played thru us in the first five holes...we finally left the buy then had to wait on other slow groups...not the courses gailt
Poor Pace of Play
In general Honey Bee is a good course. On the 1st hole I saw a Marshall. I thought great, the pace of play should be good, but boy was I wrong. He didn't do anything to speed up the pace of play. My tee time was at 9:28 , I finished at 2:45 PM. So Saturday golf is probably closer to 7 hours. I will play this course again.
