Needs more attention to cleanliness

Golf carts were filthy, as were the tee boxes. Dirty dashboards and floors as if they don’t wash. They want their game end tips but need to do a better job. Tee boxes were littered with broken tees, as if they don’t do it period. Tee boxes are also hard and rough, so the lack of attention shows.

Would recommend

Fun course for all levels. In very good shape. Shout out to Dick (our starter) - very helpful, great sense of humor. He was so welcoming and gave us a great start to our round.

Weird Golf Course

I love golf. It takes a lot for me not to like a golf course.

I will tell you good things, bad things, and weird things about Stonecreek

Good Things.

• Electric carts are good

• The concession staff was friendly and professional

• Managed to get a 4.5 hour round

Bad Things

• Pricey for the condition of the golf course

• Teeny, tiny driving range.

• Mediocre range ball quality

• Tiny putting surface

• Micro-sized chipping facility

Weird Things

• I scheduled a tee time for 10:06 and received confirmation

• 2 days before tee time I received a re-confirmation for 10:15

• Arrived at the golf course and told my tee time was now 10:24

I was told, “Don’t worry about it, we had a conflict with the early morning golf league and anyway you still get to play.

Hmm.

Well worth it

Other than the tee boxes being extremely hard ( to the point it wood tees would break before you could get them in deep enough), it was a well kept and a great value!

Good Course in Good Shape - Price is High

Decent course for this time of year. Fairways good and greens in excellent shape. Price is high for an afternoon round. No staff/ranger to move the slow folks along. Took over 5 hours to play. Will come back in Summer when the rates are better and the Snowbirds leave

Don’t let the par 70 fool you

This course was in nice condition and very green. Although it is a par 70 course with 6 par threes instead of the usual 4, the par 3s were very challenging with 2 of them 200 yards over water. A fun challenging course to play with friendly staff.
