A must play course

One of the most scenic courses in Illinois. The course in well maintained with a very friendly staff. Although it is a bit more expensive that other courses, the extra expense is well worth it. The course may feel overly challenging for a below average golfer given some challenging carry requirements off the tee, but average and above average player will find it exciting and challenging.

Unbelievably slow

Played on a weekday. Round took 4hours and 40 minutes on a very hot day. Will not consider playing here again at these rates and that amount of time. There are better options at this price point.

One of Chicago area's gems

I play here often and it's always in excellent condition. Lots of rain this year has probably helped. The only complaint I have is the greens have too many ball marks from customers not fixing their divots. Have the Rangers add the task of reminding golfers to fix their divots and we'll all appreciate it.

A challenging but very playable track

This is why I love Arthur Hills designs, challenging but also playable. There is plenty of room to drive the ball off the tee but the miss is often punishing. Visually, the course is outstanding with every hole being a quality golf hole. The course itself was in excellent shape and the greens, well, especially where the pins were on this day, tough with not so subtle but also subtle breaks. Well worth the play and a very enjoyable round. One thing - at a course with this price tag, a small bucket of range balls should be complimentary. Other than that small thing, course was fabulous and pace of play, good! Would recommend!

Pace of Play Terrible

Back 9 was terrible. With no Marshalls going around everyone was stacked up on every hole. And there was a group where 2 men were riding a golf cart and another was walking. Why would you allow something like that? the ones who were riding would wait up for the friend who was walking. terrible. no golf etiquette. no consideration for the ones behind them.

Slow play

Sand traps not up to rest of course standards. Slow play as club allowed practice for next day tournament. Extremely slow and not far to other guests who also paid to play. Club pro involved and extremely rude.

Hello, thank you for playing. Actually no club pros had any interaction with your group...perhaps a course marshal. There was Korn Ferry Tour players scattered in different groups all afternoon playing a practice round (for the following day event). Not your typical type of play as they often hit a couple extra putts at a hole location. Sorry your experience that afternoon was not up to par. We really look forward to seeing you again soon.

Stonewall never dissapoints

The course was in great shape as was the pace of play. Greens are in better shape than last fall and the traps are very well maintained.

Good Experience

Very open and well maintained course. A bit dry during this time of year therefore the greens were insanely fast. $90 was a little steep for this area but overall a fun experience.

Long drive from the city but worth it

The course is tough but in great condition and a lot of fun to play. A great variety of holes and interesting layout. The amenities are great and the staff was also very friendly. If you are traveling from the city it is a decently long drive but absolutely worth it if you have the time. Definitely one of the nicest public courses I've played around the Chicago area.

Great Course!

My Son and I played on a Monday morning and we had a great time. The course was challenging. It was in great shape even without much rain the past month or so. The staff was all amazing too. We will definitely be back soon.
