Stonewall Orchard Golf Club

Overpriced and poorly maintained......grass and greens are burnt up, dry and just unsatisfactory for July golf. $103 for poor conditions is not what this course is about. Such a great course but needs major help.

I have played this course many times and must say it was in Horrible condition, burnt up greens, dried grass on fairways and rough it was like played in the dessert.

Its not August and this should not be happening after you raise prices across the board but don't water enough to maintain better conditions. And also tell Ranger Fred if your job is to keep pace with all golfers then you tell slow players/walkers on a HOLIDAY to pick up the pace, not say its not fair if they are on pace, waiting 3-4 minutes on each tee box is not keeping pace. Would not pay to play the course again this year, very sad and poor maintenance.

Awesome course. Killer greens, the kind you could play all the time, however they must have had a FTG offer this week. FTG first time golfer. The groups in front of us took on average 8 to 10 strokes to get to the green - not necessarily on the green. That calculates to 15 min a hole. Cruel and unusual punishment for trying to play golf. They needed a boost from the ranger to stop playing 2 to 3 balls a hole and just use simple etiquette! It was not to be as the ranger said it's a 4:15 pace. Can't play when you can't rely on the course to enforce any rules or pace. Short term they book the fee, good for them but long term people won't come play at this ruleless free for all. It's a shame.

Been reading about this course as one of the top courses in Illinois and it did not disappoint.

Had a great round - greens were amazing - super tough and super fast just the way they should be. Course was set away from houses so it felt very private.

It was like golfing at a very nice private course without the fee for it at $65 it was a steal for such a great course.

Shout out to the great staff John - in the club house let me replay 1&2 b/c as though there was not enough time to replay the front 9 he let me play 2 extra holes b/c I could not get enough golf- great customer service cannot wait to go back.

I have played many courses in the northern Illinois and this was by far one of the better ones. From the high end carts, friendly staff and awesome courses layout and condition it was a great experience.

Too many notices on the cart screen about cartpath and other nonsense

These were the hardest greens I have ever played on and made our round not very enjoyable. For $82 a person I hoped for a better maintained course.

Friendliest staff at any course around . Course in great shape and greens rolled well. Lots of fun and different challenges!! Can’t wait to play again

Stonewall seems to be declining, attention to detail is slipping. Another course that charges the same for walking as riding which is ridiculous, and I always hear about pace of play, well when your average rider is probably 20 handicap or more and the average walker is under 20, there is no way carts are faster, and Ive proven that time and time again, 4 hours on the nose for our foursome walking.

No drinking water on the course is getting old, Makray does it right, bottled water in coolers on the course, and low and behold they charge a little less than Stonewall, much nicer course. I won't be playing here anymore this year or recommend this place.

We really enjoy playing this course. Just wish it was a little cheaper. We come when we find a good deal.

I used to love this course , they don’t pay attention to detail anymore, tee boxes are horribly beat up, greens are pitted bad, not drinking water on course, charge walkers same rates as carts, and stop saying it’s for pace of play, walkers typically are always advanced golfers, and everyone walks straight to their ball instead of making 2 stops per cart, it’s pure greed.

I won’t play this course again until things change.

Makray is a much better bang for your buck in this price point.

I've played this course dozens of times and it never gets old. The layout is superb and offers a variety of different shots at each hole. Greens are already in great condition and as the trees/plants bloom the course only gets better. Best track in Lake County, IL.

Just opened. Wet and windy day. Course is still nice to play. Great layout. Cart path only today, got a lot of exercise.

Been awhile since I’ve played it. Course in better shape than some of the ones that I’ve played so far. Obviously some holes my eyes don’t agree with, but scored pretty good for early in the season.
