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.

Just rained
Played the course with my sons a day after raining and was in great shape. No puddles at all. Highly recommend
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
