Situated just a few minutes from Muskegon, Stonegate Golf Club in Stone Lake sprawls across gently rolling hills that are surrounded by the beauty of the Manistee National Forest. The undulating terrain provides dramatic elevation changes that can give you a different round every time you play. Although there are residences bordering the golf course, it still feels completely secluded thanks to the sheltering trees and pristine natural setting that is accented with marshes and ponds. The golf course has a variety of greens, most are slightly raised and some are open in front while others have slopes and bunkers protecting them. The putting surfaces roll true with only a few mild undulations. Stonegate's fairways can be tricky since they’re lined with mature pines and hardwoods and more often than not you’ll find one or more bunkers guarding the most opportune landing areas.

Beautiful in the Fall

This course is within a beautiful forest setting and the colors were starting to appear. It must be beautiful at peak season. We liked how the course was laid out, that each hole had it’s own setting and you rarely saw other p,Ayers. This course was in excellent condition. The only problem we had was knowing where the tee box was located. The markers were either missing or laying on the ground and hard to find. The staff at the course are very accommodating and helpful.

Outstanding golf experience!

My brother in law and I have played this course many times now. It is by far my one of my favorite golf courses to play in Michigan. The golf course is in great condition, challenging, but fair and very fun to play. The setting is beautiful! After golf, the clubhouse and grill will satisfy even the greatest food critic. Awesome selection of food and brew in a great setting. Service is excellent and the staff is top notch and friendly. If you love golf and have not played Stone Gate yet, get it on your schedule, you will not be disappointed! My bet is it will become one of your favorites too!

Pesky Mosquitoes / Biting Flys

This is a golf course that is somewhat over looked as a fun course to play. Well maintained, conditions are above average with other public courses in the area. However, be advised if it a wet or cloudy day the biting insects can wreak havoc on you. Ouch!! Other than that really nice place to play.
