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.

Great track

Know where to miss. Keep it below the hole. Hero shots pay off less than smart shots.

Would be nice to have a longer par 3 is my only wish. All par 3s are pretty easy.

Early Spring

Enjoyed our round at Stonegate. The weather was not so nice as it was very cool and cloudy. The course was yet in early spring condition, but staff was out and working on the course.

Great play

This is a very good course to play. Course is in great shape for this time of the year greens are fast and have lot of adulation on greens. Course you stay underneath the hole because you don’t want to have to put down hill on these greens. Because you make it hard for you two putt. Please put this on your bucket list.
