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

Only 3.5 stars this time

Stonewall is a great modern track. We had a nice day and round however I have to downgrade them because the sand traps are basically mud and/or hard pan. Many of the fairways were also completely overwatered so you got virtually no roll on the ball. The course was in great shape other than that and the greens were really fast/firm and slick. Too many ball marks not repaired or repaired correctly and also noticed a few of the greens had putter swipes/divot frustration marks on them from golfers who aren't very good putters getting angry because Stonewalls greens are some of the fastest around....
Given the premium rates you have to pay to play this place (usually over $50 plus plus) the sand traps should have some sand in them rather than a layer of wet thin sand (at best) or mud. Sure it had rained the previous day but even then despite them raking the traps.....they just aren't very fair/playable. Many of you will say just avoid the traps.....which is really tough to do at this course so have to take easily a star off for that and the over watering......

Nice outing

Course was in very nice condition though tee boxes were a bit rough. Greens were fast though in good shape. Mosquitos on the back nine could be abated with spray/fog. Slow play despite the "10 minute spacing" (maybe their clock is faster than most).

Nice Public Track

Very challenging the day we played due to high winds. Course was in excellent condition, not crowded, friendly people. Especially difficult where there were blind tee shots (if you haven't played it before).

Great for a public course

I have played plenty of private and public tracks and these greens were among the fastest I've played. I wish the patrons would replace or fill their divots but I guess that is to be expected at a public course. Only problem was we had to cut round short because of lightning. Still need to play last 4 holes!

Love the greens speed

The course is forgiving if straight of the tee. Driving range is nice. The ranger was very friendly and did not push.

Great day of golf

We have not golfed here since it first opened and we were excited to see how it has matured. The layout was really interesting and fun to play. The pace of play was slow but it was a beautiful day, the course was in great condition and the staff was all very friendly. I can't wait to play there again.
