Golfer Reviews
Always outstanding
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.
Tough Day At Stonewall Orchard
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!
Slippery floors
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
After Bittersweet--Go Here!
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.
Stonewall
Very nice course,pace was slow because of a five some in front. Don't know why they let this happen
Love this course, but
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.

Experience. Great staff, great course.
sick course!!!!
Amazing golf course. So much fun. I'm gonna palt here all summer
When the price is right only.
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.
One of the best in Chicago area
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).
Early Spring at Stonewall Orchard
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.
Great Course
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.
One of the best courses in Lake County
The course is great because it is challenging and fun. A fee risk reward holes make the course fun. Good for all skill levels.
Late season round
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.
A little on the wet side....
Course was still drying out from 2 inches of rain two days before. Very wet, extremely breezy, which made the course extremely tough. New gps is great, but a lot of messages to return to cart path when you are not doing anything wrong. Range is fantastic, and course is very scenic. Definitely play on dry day without 30 mph wind. If not, course is definitely on the tough side. Did get good rate from Golf Now though.
30 mph breeze means bring your A game.
My favorite public course in Chicago. Worth the effort to get here.
Great course
This is a great course. It's a little on the expensive side for me at their regular price but my Hot Deal of $56 w/cart for each of us was very fair. The course is in great shape and a very unique. It is challenging and your shots are best if you know where they should be placed but I guess that's with any course. The pin placement that day was rather tough and the green's were rolling true and fast but again we managed. Overall if you are an avid golfer and understand or know a good course when you play it, this will be one of those courses. Enjoy......I did!!!
Simply Great
This is one of the best courses out there. Hard but not to hard and if you can play it a few times it will really start to come to you. A good mix of water, sand, trees, and hills. It is worth the trip from anywhere in the Chicagoland area.
Don't use the phone
Nice course but they charged us $12 more than the online price because we called in a reservation. I asked why and they said it cost them more to "man the phones". $36 more for our group because we used the phone. That's redicious. A nice course but not customer friendly.
Great course and just as friendly staff!
I organized a little group outing for work and worked with Jeff to set everything up. He was very accomodating considering our party size changed a couple times and gave us a great group rate! Beautiful course and well maintained. Everyone there (Starter, Ranger, Bar Staff) were very helpful and accomodating, especially with some tips on the greens. Tough course where accuracy is key. I'll definitely come back and play, and likely have Stonewall Orchard host our outing next year
We appreciate the feedback regarding the difficulty of the course, it is one of the more testing layouts in the area. We have hosted multiple US Open Qualifiers, are one of the host sites of the Illinois PGA Section Championship and are hosting a Web.com qualifier in June. General customer feedback is the more times you play, the more familiar and enjoyable it becomes. Please check our website as we do offer off-peak rates during the season. We hope to see you again and thank you for your feedback.
