Great play
Even with the previous day's rain, the course played great. Nice layout. Like the split tee set-up. Provides some challenge but still enjoyable.
Grrat Course
Course was in great shape and very challenging. Really have to think about shots.
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.
fast greens challening course
played here 6/20/15 nice track holes are set up well and boxes are to played to skill level. not a grip it and rip course need to place your shots to score, greens are fast but true. staff was great and will play again for sure.
Awesome
This course is a stunner. Fantastic and beautiful design. Can't wait to play again. I bought their frequent player card. Great staff. Friendly and inviting.
Excellent!
Course was in great shape, well manicured, and fast greens. This place is staff friendly and maintenance crews are courteous to the players. The course is challenging to the average golfer, with great water hazards and pristine views of natural preserves. A little more expensive than others in the area but worth it. A private club atmosphere.
Fantastic Course
This is one of my top two Chicagoland courses. It is absolutely fantastic. It has challenging holes with fantastic scenery and is always in great shape. Yesterday was no exception. Even after torrential downpours the previous day it was soft but great and I have nothing to complain about at all. If you are looking for a really challenging course that is always in great shape this your course!!
Best Golf Course in the North/Northwest Chicago Area
In my opinion Stonewall Orchard is the top golf course in the North/Northwest Chicago land area. The greens are fast and the fairways are in excellent condition. There is plenty of water, trees and natural hazards to grab your attention. Make no mistake this is a very challenging course. I love it and I think you will too.
Great layout and condition
Exceptional layout that challenges from start to finish. The course was in great shape and the staff was courteous and helpful. Will definitely go back! Great value.
Incredible Day of Golf
I live in the city and am so glad I made the drive to Stonewall Orchard. Everything was top-notch, here were the best parts: cart staff comes and picks you up in the parking lot, great practice area, course was immaculate, food was really good with good pricing, I saw a fox on the 8th hole, such a serene setting.
Ludicrous speed greens
Lightning fast greens, a majority of pins were in really difficult locations......awesome.
Bring your A game
Love how each hole is isolated from anything else. You don't have people playing in a fairway next to you. It is challenging, but fair. Keep it straight and choose your shots you'll be fine. Make poor choices and it will eat you up though.
U.S. Open sectional qualifier
The title says it all. Stonewall recently held a U.S. Open qualifier.
Great design, great condition and everything you would expect for a premier golf experience.
Highly recommended.
Course plays tough with forced carries but if you strike the ball good you will have fun here.
Great course
Stonewall is a great course with awesome drainage after rain. Greens are in excellent condition. Pace of play is a little slow on weekends. Nicest starter in the business.
Conditions
Greens were fast, smooth and firm. Fairways were firm. Range had very little grass but was still very nice given early season. Great range balls.
Nice Average at Best golf Course
The highlight of this course for me was seeing a coyote and white tails on the course, decent layout. Nothing special to what I get to play in Wisconsin. Looks on the web page super nice, but when you play here its not all that special. Average at best. So many divot makers all over this course, the course is not in great shape. And the putting greens here, are just sad. Very horrible. Like putting on concrete. and if you like to fly the greens like a do, plan on your ball taking so a huge hop and fly off these dry greens, and so many divot greens makers on every hole, wondered if they have a greens keeper at all. But so much water you think they could find some to water the concrete greens. No championship course I have played has these bad of shape greens. Makes this course not worth a second chance. Go play it you will see what I am talking about, definitely not worth there lowest price, thank god I got golf now price, I would never pay the ridiculis prices they ask for this PGA so called qualifier. That's funny to me. The layout is nice . I shot an 90 here from the tips, because of so many 3 putts. not very hard course if you can play golf management. Man those greens are so horrible, for such a course advertising how great jhey think they are. Aweful.. The local father and son team we played with said they get harder and faster in the summer. One and so done with this course.
Course is in fantastic shape!
This was my 3rd time playing at Stonewall this year and I had to post a review. Have played at all the courses that Golf Digest and Golf Week rank ahead of Stonewall in Illinois and they just don't compare. If you are looking for the best greens of any public golf course in Illinois, go to Stonewall Orchard. I live in the city and the drive was well worth the trip, only took about an hour. The three hole stretch of holes 4, 5 & 6 can be challenging but three of the best holes in the state.
Stonewall course overview
Stonewall is one of the best golfing values in Chicago area. The course conditions and greens are country club quality. Course difficulty is challenging but fair.
i personally like the fact the course is not surrounded by houses. Each hole is unique and private.
Other Chicago area courses of "like quality" are typically twice the cost of Stonewall.
Undiscovered Gem
This course has a nice balance in the variety of the difficulty of the holes. A good challenge for all skill levels as it also has a good variety of tees.
Always in good condition.
Stonewall Has It All
In addition to the great course conditions and greens that are purer than a lot of private club greens I've ever played is the wildlife roaming the course. Yesterday we had three Sand Hill Cranes checking me and my buddy out as we teed off on number 3! I've been playing Stonewall for years and always tell people that if they haven't played here yet, then they're missing one of the best public tracks in the state. Smooth, fast greens: check. 18 holes all different from one another: check. Pine trees, oak trees and wetlands: check. Challenging course: double check! Hopefully, there's still more golf left this year cause me and my buddies will be back. Snapped the pic of the par 3 13th during the round yesterday. Great hole!
I'd be interested to know the high caliber courses you play which make stonewall orchard look and play below average. I love to play upper tier courses. As the other comment states "it's up to golfers to fix ball marks on greens and divots" if there were less lazy people with entitlement issues. More who were taught to "clean up after themselves" many of the slightly above average courses would be great courses. I would put stonewall in the latter category every time I played it though. I find it to be a challenging, well laid out as well as managed/maintained. Then again I've played it more than once.
David,
Thank you for your feedback regarding the course. We would just like to clarify a few things regarding the course conditions you experienced. In the Midwest, the average golf course will not turn on their irrigation system until early to mid-may due to overnight temperatures below freezing. With the high winds we experienced and lack of precipitation around the time you played, the course was experiencing really firm conditions. Since the time you have played we have turned the irrigation system on and filled nearly every divot on the course. Also, we noticed that you played at 12:40 pm on Saturday. It is the responsibility of the 100 golfers in front of you to make sure they repair their ball marks on the greens and replace/sand their divots. We look forward to seeing you again and thank you for playing Stonewall Orchard!
Sincerely,
General Manager
