Stumpy Lake Golf Course
publicStumpy Lake Golf Course is a beloved Virginia Beach public layout with a distinctive natural character rooted in its namesake lake and surrounding coastal marshland. The course winds through one of Virginia Beach's most ecologically interesting settings — the stumps of a long-flooded forest emerge from the lake's surface, giving the course its memorable name and a hauntingly beautiful visual atmosphere. Flatland coastal terrain means the layout relies on water hazards, wetland buffers, and strategic bunkering rather than elevation changes to create challenge. The greens are moderate in size and true-rolling, providing fair opportunities for scoring when approached correctly. City of Virginia Beach operation keeps green fees accessible, and the natural wetland setting provides a genuine wildlife sanctuary feel between shots. Osprey, egrets, and turtles are regular companions on the round. Stumpy Lake is unique in Virginia Beach's golf landscape — nowhere else in the city offers this combination of natural setting, affordable rates, and scenic aquatic character. Regulars develop an affection for the course that transcends its modest length and simple design.
Stumpy Lake Golf Course takes its name from the remnant stumps of a forest flooded when the lake was created in the early 20th century. The City of Virginia Beach developed the golf course to take advantage of the unusual lakeside terrain, and it has operated as a public facility for several decades. The course's distinctive natural character — unlike anything else in Hampton Roads — has given it a loyal following among local golfers who appreciate its quirky personality.
