Far Exceeded Expectations

Awesome course! I save the 5 stars for Newport National, Fox Hopyard and the casino courses! I was expecting a municipal course. I don’t know why, I just was. Course was awesome. Great layout, very forgiving! Nothing bad at all to say about it! Do a military discount too for anyone who is serving!

If you want a 5 hour round...

Stanley is the place for you. Not sure what it is. The tee times are set 10 min apart, which should be enough spacing. Very long round when you’re used to 4-4:30max everywhere else.

Staff, especially the starter, were very nice. Just not worth the standing around, IMO.

Hot Deal. Not

Booked a Hot deal then charged us 20 bucks per person for cart. Enough said. Staff was completely unfriendly when trying to come to terms with the hot deal terms.

I just went to book a hot deal my self worry of this. It seems that all the hot deals are walking on golf now. To me it seems as if this charge was justified.

November gem

Stanley has really made vast improvements to the course recently and will be my new go to location. Restaurant and patio are a perfect way to relax and finish the day. Setting is perfect, staff was friendly, and the food is exceptional.
