Elevation changes are the name of the game here with swings from the tees that could make the most even-keeled soul feel Vertigo. The drop from tee to the fairways is as steep as 350 feet. The stretch of 12 through 15 is particularly height challenging. Designer Randy Heckenkemper likes to compare his course his course to a roller coaster. This for a high season $55 greens fee that wouldn't even be enough to get a ticket into some amusement parks.

Course knowledge is key... Were plenty of shots we thought were "down the middle" yet we never saw our ball again....fast greens. I may need a fore-caddy!

Seasonal surprise

An excellent couse for the money we spent. We played in late January and conditions were seasonal. Given that, it was a great experience, and we will be back. The staff were especially helpful and very friendly. We stopped for a drink and meal when we finished and all was great.

Fun and Challanging

Although it was cold when we played, the course is always a treat to play. Many elevation changes make you use many shots in your bag.

We travel from the east coast to play in Arizona, and this is one of our yearly stops.....well worth the experience.

You will find yourself taking many pictures while you play!!

Fabulous course, great value

My husband and I played this course on November 13 and it was challenging but very rewarding. We got a hot deal on Golf Now and it was well worth it. We sailed through, never waiting for anyone in front of us. The yardage seems short on paper but with with the terrain it is more than challenging to all levels of golfers. That said, if you pick the right tees it is quite playable for most golfers. You won't be disappointed.

Exciting Layout

This course is one exciting layout with lots of elevation change. The course was definitely not in pristine condition, but it nonetheless was in decent shape. The greens were extremely fast being late in the season. The staff could have been a little friendlier and more willing to help (i.e. load your golf bag onto your cart instead of just watching you from their stand). Not having on course beverages was also disappointing. Overall though the value and experience was good.

Excellent course, but tough.

Very impressed with the golf course. Fast greens, good fairways, but you better bring your "straight" game here.
Only downside was pro shop guy, when I showed him my Golfnow boking, he was kind of dismissive, by saying, oh thats their time not ours, kind of implying that I was second rate to other customers who were there in the shop. But everything else was perfect, outside guy was great, so was marshall and I played with 2 locals who were very helpful in pointing the way on some holes that I would have been in big trouble, if they hadn't.

Best course in AZ hands down

Stoneridge is by far my favorite course in the State. I live in PHX but will often drive up to Stoneridge to play on the weekends. Only an hour and 15min drive. The views are amazing, the course is tough but every hole is completely different from another making it so much fun and makes me want to come back next week!

Great course, but very tough

Course was in excellent shape. Great variety of holes and views. Forced carries from tees can be difficult if you are not a good ball striker, even many of the red tees had forced carries.

Awesome target golf in the hills of Prescott Valley

Beautiful well-maintained golf course with many picturesque holes and elevation changes, cut out of the hills of Prescott Valley. There are a few challenging target tee shots where you only use an iron or hybrid. Some tee shots offer a risk/reward by choosing driver.

The par 3s are gorgeous. The par 5s are difficult but score-able. #18 is one of the most unique holes you'll ever play. The 2nd shot doglegs left down a hill, while the 3rd shot doglegs right halfway back up a hill. Both shots only require short irons. But if you hit a really good drive, you might think about hitting a 200-250 yard shot (all carry) to try to reach it in 2. Truly a remarkable hole.

It REALLY helps to play with a local the first time you play here. The course should probably provide a tip sheet for newbies. For instance, the 2nd shot on #18 can be blind if your drive doesn't make it to the corner. It would take many rounds of experience to master aiming that blind 2nd shot. Also, the tee shot on #5 is only a mid-iron. Luckily I played with some locals who advised me on not only those holes but also a few others.

BEWARE: This is truly a golf course where you do NOT want to leave yourself on the high side of the hole. Some chips and putts are impossible to get close. You can easily leave a chip too short and have the ball come back to you, or hit a putt a bit too hard and find yourself off the green.

This course is challenging

The course and the people that worked there was awesome. I would not recommend it for a beginner golfer though. It was challenging but not overly difficult. I definitely loved the layout.

Not a Marshall in Sight!!

I would heartily recommend StoneRidge to a friend travelling through Prescott as we were this past Tuesday on our way to Sedona. It is probably the best designed and most reasonably priced public access course in the entire Prescott Valley. But as all of us know, the best golf course can be a horrifying place to visit if there is an abject ignorance of the pace of play. We were three hours on the front nine and had to walk off for fear of missing our anniversary dinner. We saw four staff members running the entire operation. The course is difficult, with many forced carries and tight driving areas; it has lots of "Tee it forward" warnings on the carts etc., but with no marshall to enforce those, I imagine there are a lot of long days on that course! Nice lay-out and good conditions for October.

Pace of play was terrible.

Way too slow pace of play. We never saw a Marshall for assistance. There were six groups backed up on no. 17.

The course is fun but tough which is why I like it.

The staff is great, very friendly and accommodating. The course was in great shape and I always highly recommend it to friends. I drove an hour one way to play there and it was well worth it like always. Can't wait to go back.

Lots of blind shots very hilly course, long drives from green to tee.

Course was in good condition. However there is a lot of blind shots and large elevation changes making judging distances difficult, especially since the carts DON'T have GPS. Double doglegs that make par 5s par 4s. Long hilly drives from green to tees on many holes. Too gimmicky for my liking. The par 3s were best part of the course, some very pretty ones.

This is a wonderful course. Very well kept, the pace of play quick due to more spacing between tee times. The staff is very courteous and helpful.

Tough course, hilly and lots of target shots. Fun to play, but would be very difficult for a newer or high handicap golfer

Course in great shape except for some sand on a few of the greens. Bring lots of golf balls if you are a relatively new golfer or have difficulty getting off of a tee box.

Otherwise, a super day with great views and fun golf. Will be back again and again.

Food in grille is very good and the pro shop staff is truly super friendly.

Many different mountain elevations and tight fairways.

Should plan on playing course several times to help determine club selection and best locations for ball placement during your round.
