Stone Ridge Golf Club
Played On 07/14/2014Great for all levels!
Although the course wasn't in the best condition I have ever seen it, it is still one of the best in the area. There are teeing grounds for every skill level that challenge the golfer and force decisions on whether to go for the risky shot that pays big rewards or take the safe route. The fairways, as always, are in great shape. My son, who was playing here for the first time, commented that they were more plush than most greens he was used to. The bunkers, both fairway and greenside, are very well maintained and provide the challenges a golfer should expect when playing out of them. Finally, the greens play at above average speed and putts roll much truer than at anaverage area course. The scorecard provides daily pin placements which makes approach shots easier to judge. I strongly recommend this course to players of all skill levels.
Sand Wedge Golf Course
Played On 06/15/2014Needs some TLC
I played here on Father's Day with my son. This course could be a very good place to play with a little tender loving care. Start with the tee boxes. Too many of the teeing grounds were placed on mounds which prevented a flat stance. In addition, the tees were further restricted by the growth of bushes on each side of the tee markers. Some allowed little more than three or four feet of true teeing area. The course owners should have spent far less on the hole markers and more on the tee boxes. Next, the fairways had no yardage markers, making it difficult to choose the proper club for approach shots. Sure, there were some feeble attempts at red, blue and white stripes spray painted on the cart paths but they were very hard to spot, especially when on the far side of the fairways. Thirdly, the greens were infested with ant hills everywhere and the greenside bunkers were, at best, atrocious. There was virtually no sand in the bunkers and most featured some sort of trimmed down grass plants growing in a corner. If you can't take care of the traps properly, don't have them.
If it wasn't for the fact that we played here at a discount, I would be hesitant to rate this course even one star. As it is, unless these issues are addressed, I will not return, nor will I recommend it to any of my friends.
