Stonewall Orchard Golf Club

Played this course twice this summer and it has quickly become a favorite track of mine in Illinois. Course layout is great, challenging but fair. Greens were pristine and true. Upon arriving, one of the staff came to my car immediately to retrieve my golf clubs which is always appreciated. It is a different layout than most courses, not just all doglegs. There are some very challenging holes, not many gimmes. Excellent value for the money! If there is any knock at all it is quite a drive from the city. I will be back again and again.

Just got done playing an early morning round, followed by a practice session on the range and new short game area. Talk about a place that does it right. Stonewall was in amazing shape for the amount of play the head pro said they have had in the last two weeks. Our group fell behind on a couple holes and the GPS alerted us we were behind. The GPS was definitely beneficial for our group and fun to use. Definitely a place that makes you feel at home and at a private club. Cant wait to make it back for another round..

This USED to be one of the best courses in Illinois. The greens were in terrible shape, slow, and not consistent (worse than a good muni). Also, on a Sunday, there was a bachelor party that slowed the pace of play drastically. Brought my friends to play for the first time. They were very disappointed.

I do not like to complain, but you asked....

Service was non existent in the bag drop

Rental clubs sucked

Tee boxes were butchered - does anyone fill divots out there?

Greens were badly spiked up around the holes and no one repairs ball marks!!

Nice layout, I'd like to play again but Thunderhawk, Pine Meadow, McCrae, Cantigny and others are much better

Staff in the pro shop were not even welcoming or engaging

Food at the snack shop (brat and hot dog) were lukewarm not even hot

We didn't even hang out for beer afterwards - we went somewhere we knew we'd be treated better

Played Cantigny last month and it was great service!!

Come on Stonewall step it up!

This is an excellent course, great condition, beautiful and challenging layout, and personable staff.

No elevation changes, little hole variety. Starter and beverage people wer great and very friendly. Guy in pro shop seemed disinterested and unfamiliar with course and the area in general.

Course had been over-watered and the greens were beat up from heavy use on wet grass. Standing water on lots of hole even though it had not rained. Fairway shots were almost always mucky.

Its always a treat to play Stonewall Orchard. The staff is almost as amazing as the golf course and surroundings. I usually only write reviews when there is a negative issue but I've been playing here regularly for over three years now and I rarely play anywhere else. This is the penultimate.

Wonderful course except for the lake next to the green on the 18th hole. All employees especially are very professional but not very friendly. I live in Glenview so the ride was long but worth it. Just go to Stonewall Orchards Website to book. Top course in the North and Northwest suburbs of Chicago!

Course was in great shape no problems except that they amour all the floor of the golf cart and steering wheel. Spend the whole round slipping on the floor and my hands falling off the wheel while leaving a slick film on my hands and having to wipe them off every time I got out of the cart to hit or anything else. Even if you wear a glove which I don't its still a problem

I played at Bittersweet on Saturday (played at Stonewall Friday) as Stonewall had an event Saturday. Suffice it to say, Stonewall Orchard is as near as you can get to a private club experience without the cost. After playing Bittersweet today (and Golf Visions has ruined that place), it made me long for the professionalism of Stonewall Orchard. They get it there, and they appreciate the customers. Cost is not so much an issue....a good experience is and that is what i get at Stonewall Orchard, no matter who is behind the counter. Anyone up north, play at Stonewall. It is the best you can get.

Very nice course,pace was slow because of a five some in front. Don't know why they let this happen

The fairways were too soft and wet, the greens were too firm and fast, and the traps were firm or filled with water. The greens were hard and did not hold the shots. Also, was not informed that the cart path only restriction was lifted while we were around the fifth hole.

Beautiful course. Truly majestic. Had an awesome

Experience. Great staff, great course.

Amazing golf course. So much fun. I'm gonna palt here all summer

I'll play this course for $55 early Spring rate but won't spend the $95 they charge on weekends in season. It just isn't that good of a course. I don't like the design of several of the holes, especially the goofy third shot on the par 5 eighteenth which has to fly a couple of real stupid mounds that front the green, blocking your view of the landing area which is fairly small with water behind left, right and long. I am not long enough for this course's forced carries on some holes and even though I am fairly accurate I lose balls on this course more than usual. I've moved up to the 6,000 yard tees but I still don't really enjoy a round on this course. If I was a better golfer, I guess I might like the challenge but this place beats me up and and I don't get a good feeling about my price/ value experience. And cold, windy weather with carts restricted to the path didn't help either.

We play here several times a year. Course is always in great condition even in MArch and in Novembet. Greens are among the best always quick. Only issue with this course is the 18th hole is not a well designed hole. I have played all over the country for 40+ years and this is a great value when you can get a deal at $60 or less (golf now).

Overall the course was OK but it was early spring and nothing has grown up. There were no racks in the sand traps. The greens were OK but again it was early spring. The course and golf now charged $55 to play and this was way too much this early, they should charge a maximum of $35 this early in the season. It will be interesting to play again in the summer to see the difference in play.

Stonewall is among my favorite courses. It is very challenging from the tips. It is much more fun for me to play from the whites. Still challenging, but no long carries. The greens are the best you'll see at a public course in the Chicagoland area, and better than many private courses. They roll true and fast. All holes have their charm, and there are plenty of ways to get into trouble. No matter that tees you use, course management is key. If you're not hitting the ball particularly well, you can enjoy the scenery and the wild life. Some very protective sand cranes inhabit the property. Sometimes it seems as though they are following you around the course. The staff is very friendly and the view from the veranda with a cocktail in hand after a round is magnificent.

The course is great because it is challenging and fun. A fee risk reward holes make the course fun. Good for all skill levels.

Stonewall played great on this early November day. Greens were rolling true and fast, and the rest of the course was in better than expected condition for so late in the season. Friendly staff and helpful player assistants riding around the course (found my ball in the leaves off the fairway on one hole).

Always a challenging track from the back tees, especially on a day with winds gusting over 30mph. Just wish Stonewall was closer to the city, but well worth the trek.
