Stonewolf Golf Club

Played numerous times . Right now Course in great condition. Greens great fairways tip top shape. Only downside is it’s a little pricey.

My only dissapointment was being charged for 18 holes and started at 6:00pm

The rate posted at 5:57 should have been lower realizing there was only time to play 9 holes

For ladies, this course is a bit of a challenge - some of the par 4s are long (especially #9), par 3s are fun, except hole 4 which can be challenging and par 5s are just as challenging. The day we were playing, the pace was REALLY slow - you would think 4 people playing a scramble could move along a little faster, but noooooo! It took 4.5 hrs!

Really enjoyed playing there, hadn't played there for a while. Course still in great shape, greens got aerated recently, but they were still in good shape.

I have not played Stonewolf in nearly 3 years. The last time I played it, I thought the conditions were decent but improvements needed to be made. 3 years later, I was a bit disappointed that the course did not look better.

Stonewolf is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Design. Generous fairways but it is a 2nd shot golf course. With plenty of greenside bunkers and greens set at angles. I like to play the course around mid-April when the redbuds and dogwoods are blooming.

Let’s first look at the good things at Stonewolf:

The price of $38 on a Wednesday, in mid-April.
All the bunkers were raked.
The greens were recently aerated but putted well. I think the greens will be terrific once it warms up. They are a mixture of poa annua and bent grass.
They changed the tee markers to pieces of wood and brightly painted on both ends. Looks good. They do have colored dots on the cart paths to indicate where the tees are located. Not sure why that is needed because you can easily find the tees you are playing.

Now, the parts of Stonewolf that were not so good:

The range was closed and the grass looked brown.
Numerous sand bunkers have been replaced with grass bunkers. Holes 1, 5, 9, 14, 16 & 17. However, the grass is very thin or patchy.
Lots of drainage issues with this course. Hole 7 has always been an issue.
Hole 8 had bare spots in front of the green.
Hole 10 landing area is awful. Drainage issues and grass is bad.
Hole 12 yellow tee was bad. The fairway was thin in areas. Unfair pin placement too.
Hole 14 right side of the fairway on your 2nd shot is brown and thin.
They have put some white sand in on holes 16 & 17. Very unusual to only have it on 2 holes.

I would still recommend playing Stonewolf. It is a pretty course and the greens are good. Just remember you will have to put up with some bad spots on the course that will make your round not as enjoyable.

I really enjoyed the challenge the course presented. I loved the views from all angles on the course. The staff should be commended for their commitment to making the guests feel welcome.

Better than most for winter golf. Better than expected after rain and cold out.
