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.

Dog leg heaven
There’s 6 par 3’s, and 4 par 5’s. No 150 yard poles, most greens are sloped pretty steeply from back to front, staff was friendly, sand not too bad but kinda pebbly, greens mostly ok, houses and huge trees line most fairways, fairways & tees a bit overgrown.
Good track to play but tee boxes and greens need some attention.
Enjoyed the round here and love the course layout. The course was in good condition except tee boxes were chewed up and not even and the greens had so many unrepaired and repaired divots. Fairways were descent.
Great day on the course
Played while visiting from Canada. Had a great day course was in amazing shape. Pace of play was perfect. Will be returning in a few weeks and cant wait to play it agaian
Great day
Played while visiting family. I am from Niagara Falls Ontario Canada. Had a great time very peaceful and relaxing round of golf. Great value great layout great conditions. 2 greeens had minor burn areas other then that course was perfect. Challenging but great for all golfers. Cant wait to go back
Enjoyable Golf Outing at Honeybee
Initially, I was greeted by a friendly staff member in the pro shop. He explained the course well and described the off course amenities. Accessing my golf cart and heading to the practice range was quick and painless. The course was in great shape, particularly the putting greens. The course was backed up, however. It took nearly 5 hours(!!). Also the price point was more than I expected to pay, although I was given a military veteran discount. My friend and I enjoyed a cold beverage at the course restaurant and the service was great. I’ll play there again soon.
Great local spot
Pretty easy course with no real standouts. Just your simple above average course and excellent service.
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.
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.
