Stumpy Lake Golf Course
About
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.

Wide open fairways
This is a fun course with a good layout. The staff is always super friendly. Unfortunately the greens need some attention in places but it’s still a fun experience.
Drainage Please
Great Course to play a round with friends or to warmup for the season, however, the drainage system needs a lot of work there. Car path is extremely difficult when navigating through lakes in mid fairway.
Rode Hard and Put up Wet!
I usually don't hit this hard on a review, but they charged more than Honey Bee, and another nearby course, so I expected more and booked a couple friends, who feel this way as well.
Everything that was connected to the earth on this course, i.e. sand traps, greens, Tees, fairways ,as well as the rough! Was in worn out condition.
I do realize we had winter and rains, but I have played all other courses in the NC/Chesapeake area and this was the worst.
Now I played this before and don't remember it being like this. It will take months for these conditions to improve, and I will try again then.
It was a great layout and was challenging,
Disappointing - Very Disappointing
I am going to preface this review by saying that I wouldn't normally complain about the state of a course during the winter season. Wouldn't NORMALLY, but for the condition of the two sister courses being so much better.
Greens are sandy, like they just filmed a Baywatch reunion.
Fairways are bald in places and in clear need of repair, but left ignored.. I am not talking about patches as a result of divots, I am talking about large areas caused by neglect.
This course provides a great challenge to golfers, and it set in a beautiful wetlands/parkland but delivers very poorly on its potential.
I have never regretted a round of golf, but after this one I regretted not going to Honey Bee or Chesapeake instead.
I will say though that the fella who was the starter was absolutely first class!!!
There is a reason tee times are always available
The tee boxes are uneven and the greens are as rough as a gravel road. You can literally watch your ball bounce going to the hole. I realize it’s only the end of February, but there is no excuse for the course condition. The price should reflex if they are going to continue at their current rate.
Love this course
Great layout couldn't ask for better staff service recommend this course to everyone
Tee boxes are not level
Tee boxes are not level and mostly dirt. Also very hard to get a tee in the ground.
Ehhhh
Let’s put it this way, I wouldn’t put “Greens Keeper at Stumpy Lake Golf Course” on my resume and expect any callbacks.
Course was a wreck. Greens with weird patch attempts.
Staff was nice and got paired with a good group. The course was just lacking. Spend $60 and just play Honey Bee.
Stumpy
I appreciated the nice staff and great environment greens were a little tore up in some areas but it’s hard to maintain courses in Virginia Beach weather so it could’ve been just the timing I went was wrong and they were having a bad month
Great place to play for the money
Pace of play was amazing, staff were great, and the course was in decent shape
Great Value
Cool public course. Not good after rainy periods. This course sits low so better when it hasn't rained for a few days. The back nine is tougher than the front. Fairways are wide.
