Stumpy Lake Golf Course is a Robert Trent Jones design that provides a unique golfing experience. This scenic layout is routed across a 1,400-acre nature preserve that is absent of any commercial or residential development for miles. The golf course wraps around its namesake lake, which has a canoe and kayak launch as well as a fishing pier. Deer, fox, and eagles are frequently seen on the course and there has even been the occasional bear sighting. Water has a prominent presence throughout and there are also several strategically placed bunkers. Stumpy Lake Golf Course is a layout that will force you to be creative with your shot making but it's still approachable enough for high handicappers to tackle with confidence. If you're looking to get in even more golf, sister club Honey Bee is located almost right next door.

Nice course The Seals movie was shot here

The course is well laid out and fairly challenging sitting on a series of lakes in Virginia Beach. Unfortunately the course was not in very good shape, the greens were in very poor shape making them a challenge as they were almost impossible to read for speed or break, the grass was burnt and diseased. The fairways were very wet and there was no bounce to balls hit well making the course play longer. This is basically a very nice course, when the greens get back into shape and the fairways dry out it will be a fun course to play.

Beautiful day for a bad round

My score was horrible, but the morning was perfect. I saw a gaggle of turkeys on hole 4 or 5. That was cool. The greens were in much better condition then April 2 when the greens were aerated.

The fairways need a little work, some bare spots and areas need to be reseeded.

It’s getting better

The course continues to improve, but the pace of play continues to slow due to tee times being to close together.
There was still no sand to fix divots. Golfers will try to do the right thing if you provide the tools.

good course poor weather

I love Stumpy Lake and looked forward to playing it. However the weather did not cooperate. It was cool and overcast. There were spots on the course that were very damp but no puddles. We decided to quit after 9 because our hands were too cold. We asked for a rain check but told we could not get one because we booked online. The online was great but not being able to get a rain check was very disappointing

Early morning Stumpy

Course was in fair shape for this time of year. Tees were a little bare but greens are adequate and rolled true.
