Rating 72.0

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.

Nice course

The greens were fast but putted true. Love the feeling of isolation on almost every hole. Would play again with a coupon or some kind of deal or golfnow.com "hot deals". A little pricey.

Great course

Excellent condition and just a bit challenging to the ordinary golfer. I have a 15 handicap and I thought the course was perfect for my handicap. I shot a 90 so I was satisfied. For $39.00 on a Sunday afternoon, it is a bargin'

Great Course

This is a beautiful course to have in the Muskegon area. Difficult and challenging but very rewarding if you play it right. I love the secluded feeling as you play through the hilly terrain. A+

Nice course

Greens fast, but true. Holes demanding, but fair except for #10 which was gimmicky with no true landing area for approach. Perfect weather with no hold up and no pretension in staff or setup.

Just Wonderful

Went on a Friday after an outing. We had the course pretty much to ourselves and really enjoyed our round. Even after an outing the course was in great shape. We were fortunate to get a reduced rate thru GolfNow otherwise the green fees can be pretty high. You need to stay below the pin on some of the greens particularly #10. When the price is right I would always play this course in the beautiful Manistee National forest.

Nice Course

Stonegate is a very nice course and the staff is one of the friendliest. With the amount of rain that we've had this spring, most courses have a lot of water in places there usually isn't any, but not at Stonegate. That might seem small but being able to play your ball where it lies and not having to fish it out of a pond in the middle of the fairway is nice. Overall, one of the best golf courses overall.

Quiet solitude

Stonegate is one of my favorite courses in Michigan. The course is very well maintained and the atmosphere is quiet. The only thing you hear are the birds and occasionally a golfer making a good or bad shot.

Fun Course Greens a little off

Great value overall and a fun track. Staff was great, pace was awesome. I played this course a few years back and remembered thinking the greens were fantastic. They were spotty bumpy and slow now, I'm sure our winter this year had a lot to do with that. I would go back

stonegate review

I enjoyed the course lay out. It had a nice change of elevation. But I didn't like the firmness of the greens and the quickness. It was very hard to get the ball close to the hole. Balls didn't check up well and seemed to roll extensively . We didn't get to practice on the putting greens because they were being watered. So it took some time to get use to them.
Over all it was average . They also needed more yardage variation on ALL the par 4's They seemed to be all between 360 to 390.

Good course

Nice layout. Lots of options off the tees. Always in good condition. Kind of pricey for the area (regular prices) but the staff is always friendly and more than helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful course in a beautiful setting, great greens.

We played as a two-sum and never seen another group in front or behind us until the sixteenth hole, at that time it was apparent that the resistant/members kids were allowed to take the course in a shot gun style and make a nuisance of themselves. I still will give the course 5 stars just because of the great shape and layout. If played from the white tee's the average golfer should find the course quite challenging, if played from the blue your game will need to be on.I enjoyed the greens the most they are in great shape and roll true.No matter where you play from, you will need your putter to be working.Looking forward to playing again.

Up north feel but close to home!

I played this course recently and they had just aerated the greens, so was not happy with that part of the course, otherwise this is a great track and fun to play. All green supt. should do what St. Ives recently did and only aerate 1/2 of the green now and put pins in non-aerated portion of the green for excellent putting. Then a week or two later come back and do the other portion of the green. This is a must play course for any West Michigan golfer. Up north feel and layout without the 2-4 hour drive.
