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.

SLOW!!!!!!
Please bare with me as i have plenty of time to write this as I'm sitting on the 11th tee box waiting for two groups in front of us to tee off. We are 3:10 into our round. Averaging 19 minutes a hole. We arrived 35 minutes in advance of our tee time. We were told they were 30 minutes behind schedule. Funny part is I checked Golfnow.com and they still had 3 foursome tee times available within the time before our tee time, so they obviously and greedily over booked the course. Not only did their clubhouse drop the ball with tee times, they didn't have golf carts for the groups checking in and not enough staff to even collect range balls to allow golfers to warm up. This is by far THE most poorly managed course I've ever played. This is a common theme with this course and it's reputation holds the same trend. I recommend anyone trying to play here to save your money and go to Stumpy Lake down the road. I will never be back to Honey Bee again. Not even to use the range token they sold me knowing the range was out of commission.
I just left after 3:25 of play after waiting 10 more minutes on the 12th tee. Spent a total of 3:41 minutes from the scheduled start time of our round. Unacceptable. 6 hour pace is inexcusable.
Tee times too close
Great course for the area and friendly staff. Practice section is nice and so are the conditions right now. However, they are constantly slamming tee times together and there are always random leagues and things going on that they do not disclose to Golffnow. Multiple times I have showed up and already paid and they tell me it is front 9 twice. Most recently I showed up at my tee time and there were 12 people at the tee box waiting to tee off coming off hole 9 and trying to start. TLDR great course, a little pricey but they need to space out tee times better. One of the worst pace of play courses in the area
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.

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.
