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.

Course is in good shape
From T Boxes, fairways and greens, very good shape. Good pace as well.
Fun course
This was time playing Hunnybee and I really enjoyed it. Most of the greens were in pretty good condition and it’s a very interesting layout.
Hot Day on the Course
The course is in very good condition, the layout is nice. Very nice place to play..
Overbooked
Course was overbooked. Seemed to be a disconnect from staff/internet bookings and starter being updated. I had to wait almost an hour after tee time for a cart. I had a good time otherwise.
goose crap
My first time at this course, my wife and I were playing on our anniversary. Beautiful weather. The problem was so much goose crap everywhere! Totally gross. we are used to some around on local courses, but this was the worse I have ever seen. Several tee boxes were almost unusable. They should do something about these migratory birds that dont migrate. Don't think I would go back or recommend it to others.
My favorite VB course!
Course is always in great condition. Challenging layout makes you use every shot and club in your bag.
Nice but crappy
Appeared to be a nice course, but the amount of goose crap everywhere was disgusting. Some tee boxes were almost unusable. The geese were in the way everywhere. I doubt if I would go back because of that. They really should take a look at that, because it really turns people off. Especially when they have to pay a premium price.
