Stonewall Orchard Golf Club

My first hole in one on the 13th hole 150 yards 5 iron. Needless to say it was a great day for me

The course was in very good shape. The starter suggested playing white tees. i guess they must get a lot of newer golfers. if you can get the ball off the tee 150-175 yards without a horrible hook or slice, this course is gettable. We should have played golds, if not silver, and I'm a 19.

Putting is among the easiest for a course of this caliber. Nothing tricky or overly STIP...in fact, STIP was not as high as we were told, if you ask me.

A very, very enjoyable round and worth the trek.

Two things - with nowhere to go in front of us, we had the group behind us hit into us numerous times and actually hit the cart we were in. 2nd - My playing partners and I all thought the greens were very shaggy and slow. All other area courses have better greens - more fiar and in better shape.

The layout is changing but fair, the staff is great. They have a nice short game practice area that’s included in the greens fee.

I’ve wanted to play this course for many years and I’m happy I was able to play here today. The course is well laid out and feels more like a county farm vs a Chicago area suburb. The course is challenging for any golfer (myself included as a 13 handicap). This year so far has been a drought in this area and Stonewall Orchard only shows this in some of the heavy traffic areas. I feel the $77 weekday rate is very fair for this course....I wish I could have taken advantage of the late afternoon HOT Deals on Golfnow that saved $20+ per golfer. I’d certainly want to play this again in the future.

I gave a a four star for course condition only because of the goose poop on the green of the eighteenth green. Other than that the course is pristine even in the middle of a drought.

Great conditions. Always great to see multiple course marshall's keeping the pace of play moving, as well as clearing the course just prior to a much needed, short, downpour. We will be back

Great course, layout and service. Bring your game because you need it. No brutal but very challenging. Quick green with subtle breaks. Pick the right tee box and you can score. Tough but fair.

Playing today after the Monday qualifier and course was in best shape of any course I have played this year. Greens were fast but fair and manageable.

As other reviews say, it’s a nice blend of challenge and forgiveness. Tranquil setting. Cool Egrets all over the place. Everybody was cool. Good day!
