Expected better

I've played Stonewall several times in the past. The green conditions were not up to their usual par. There were brown/dead spots on several of the greens.

The pace of play was also a bit slow... particularly on the back nine. I think the ranger must have left as it was late afternoon midweek.

For the money, we just expected more.

Green is kinda slow condition

I ask staff for why green condition is being slow; I got an answer that they got short staffs on these days. If cource has shortage on staffs, they should lower the green fees. Those answer were not good to who pay and play at the course.

Disappointed

Had heard great things about this course, including having impeccable greens. The greens were some of the worst I’ve played all year. Pace of play was not enforced. Nearly a 5 hour round before noon on a Tuesday. They acknowledged the subpar conditions but did not adjust their prices.

One of the better courses in IL

Course has seen better days. I enjoy the layout and scenery of this course. Price is on the high end, but overall good value. The carts feel nice and new. Couple bare spots on a couple of the greens, but was only in play once.

A Must Play

I’ve played Stonewall 2 or 3 times in the last two weeks. They had a few (maybe 4-5) greens or collars that had a couple dry spots on the top of the steepest mounds but it really didn’t affect my play. Most all the other areas and greens were fantastic like always. I also witnessed staff sodding some tee box areas that have seen the most play on par 3’s. I played in 4 hours and it was pretty packed from what I could see. I love the comfy carts and the staff is always great.

Good layout, rough shape

Always like playing this course but I've never seen the greens in as bad of conditions and they were today. Luckily got a hot deal on golf now but still think that for the price they charge you should expect much better conditions then what it was in

Course conditions

Stonewall is normally in great conditon and enjoy playing it a couple of times a year. Played with a hot deal so value at $62 w/cart wasn’t bad. However every green had dried out brown spots and the par 3 tee boxes were in terrible shape as well.

Hope they can clean things up because I love the course.

Greens and tees in rough shape

Overall, we enjoyed Stonewall Orchard after hearing much praise for the course. Nice challenging layout. However, the greens and tee boxes are suffering either from the weather or poor grounds keeping.
The young cart staff were very friendly but I was taken aback by the starter warning me it was a “big boy “ course. Thanks for judging a woman in her 50’s before you have even seen me swing a club.
