Stonegate Golf Club
About
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.

Great value for the money
Play here once or twice a year. Staff is always friendly and course was in good shape. Challenging but not overly difficult. Need to hit it straight to stay out of trouble.
Great course for the money.
Only flaw was that the fairways we're a little rough. They could be watered better.
Up North Golf
Give you the feeling that your on a fine Northern Michigan golf course without the long drive. Can be alitte long from the tee box just back from the red so play the red if you want it's still a challenge.
Hidden Gem
A friend highly recommended Stonegate. What a beautiful setting! It's only 3 miles off US 31, but seems like middle of know where. Easy to get to and very welcoming as soon as you pull in. Nice practice range with great short game area. Pro shop and grille room are clean and welcoming with a great deck that elevates over the beautiful 9th hole and green. Great food! Friendly Staff to boot!the layout is awesome as the undulating fairways cut through the the tall trees of the Manistee forest. I like how the course still gives you enough room to hit it astray though. Greens have nice speed and just enough undulation to provide a challenge. Tee times are every 10 minutes which helps with pace of play. It was pretty busy, but there was a starter and my group moved around in 4 hrs 5 min. Nice to have a corse with that up North feel within an hour of my house. Wish i lived close enough to be a member.
What a great Value! I will definitely be back often!
Thanks for the 5-star review Connor95. One of our favorite reviews, all the positive things here. Do you mind if we use this in our promotional materials? See you back at Stonegate soon.

bad fairways
Fairways haven't been cut in a while. Hardly a difference between fairway & rough. Slow greens. Way over priced for the condition. Homeowners on # 7 were rude & loud as tee box is right behind home.
Thanks for the 3-star review gvsufan1. Sorry to hear you didn't have an enjoyable round out here at the course. Sounds like you caught us on an off day, love for you to come back out and try again. Hope to see you back at Stonegate again sometime soon.
A Hidden Gem
My partner and I had a very enjoyable round of golf at Stonegate. I loved the course and will definitely play it again (and again). Good value for the money.
Thanks for the 5-star review Ryefieldt. Glad to hear you had an enjoyable round. See you back at Stonegate soon.
Nice layout
Greens were the main downside of the course as they either were overplayed or the heat got them. Love the layout and you better be accurate on the front side.Staff was great and would recommend for a great experience in Western MI.
Thanks for the 4-star review golfvakidd. We are always trying to encourage our team to keep up the good work and improve where needed so we'll keep an eye out for the condition of the greens. See you back at Stonegate soon.
Great course
Great course and conditions were very good for lack of rain.
Will be playing again soon.
Thanks for the 5-star review jana0365. Glad to hear you had great conditions for your round. See you back at Stonegate soon.
This course is fun to play
A fun course. Some course knowledge helps on a few holes because of a couple ravines but they provide a yardage guide along with a scorecard. Enjoy!
Thanks for the 5-star review Doug5697435. Glad to hear you had fun and next time you'll have the course knowledge. See you back at Stonegate soon.
Great Course
Challenging course, but not too hard.
Thanks for the 4-star review robinhardy. Glad to hear you enjoyed the challenge out there on the course. See you back at Stonegate soon.
Beautiful Sunday morning
I love the idea of teeing off on a Sunday morning at 6:50am and completing 18 holes by 10:30am. The staff was very helpful in getting us out and on time. The course is in good condition and the greens were fast, undulating and challenging. The fairways were in good shape and the rough was penalizing but not impossible. Just the way the rough should be. Some of the tee boxes and greens were showing signs of stress but not too bad. All in all a very good value for the money.
Thanks for the 4-star review cojohnsonjr. The early bird gets the worm and the quick round of golf! Glad to hear you had an enjoyoable round and see you back at Stonegate soon.
Hidden gem

Stonegate Twin Lake Mi
Pace was a little slow on the front nine- ranger finally intervened. The has been in better shape in the past but it's still one of my favorite courses in the area
Thanks for the 4-star review Jwandersonllc. Glad to hear our ranger helped out on the pace and we'll keep working to improve conditions to what you expected. See you back at Stonegate soon.
Great course
Had the place to ourselves on the 4th of July weekend.
Thanks for the 4-star review Dave3738198. Glad to hear you enjoyed the holiday weekend with us. See you back at Stonegate soon.
Underwhelming
After reading reviews, I must have come in with unfairly high expectations. I was extremely disappointed with the conditions of the front 9, maybe we just caught it on a bad day and being late afternoon. Things improved on the back 9 regarding conditions and layout. Nice course, just a little disappointed.
Thanks for the 5-star review mcfennema. Glad you got that Up North feeling because we like telling golfers about it. Glad to hear you had a challenging round. See you back at Stonegate soon.
