Stonewall Orchard Golf Club

I've read that Arthur Hills combines working with the natural beauty of the land, taking advantage of the natural contours, minimizing earth moving, all while keeping the strategy of the golf game always in mind.
This is evident at Stonewall Orchard.
While it may fall a touch short of "breathtaking" in terms of views, it absolutely delivers in terms of great golf experience which is both demanding and rewarding regardless of your level of play. I can't speak for others but here is what I love that Stonewall Orchard delivers:
Doglegs - gentle, yet demanding thought in distance and placement.
Bunker placement: Excellent and appropriate
Bunker conditions: Fair and consistent
Forced Carries: Enough to test without discouraging.
Greens: Undulating, firm, consistent and with wickedly subtle breaks that are shockingly difficult to read. A close approach to the pin will pay off as you will want to learn from the others in your group.
All staff encountered were as pleasant as you can hope for a mid-afternoon weekday round.

I've played Arthur Hills other Illinois public course (Bolingbrook) but I'd have to say that Stonewall Orchard tops that course in nearly every category.

Very much look forward to playing again!

Staff were all very friendly and helpful.course layout was nice, and in great shape. Only difficulty was that on the back nine it seemed that two foursomes suddenly were ahead of us, slowing play. Greens were excellent, although challenging.

a shame for a nice course like this to have greens that were in such bad shape.

I've played Stonewall several times in the past. The green conditions were not up to their usual par. There were brown/dead spots on several of the greens.

The pace of play was also a bit slow... particularly on the back nine. I think the ranger must have left as it was late afternoon midweek.

For the money, we just expected more.

The course was in great shape accept the greens. They give you ball divot tools when you Tee off. I think O fixed 10 per hole.

I ask staff for why green condition is being slow; I got an answer that they got short staffs on these days. If cource has shortage on staffs, they should lower the green fees. Those answer were not good to who pay and play at the course.

Course not in pristine condition and for the price it should be. Big dead spots in fairway and greens cart shuts off even when I told them I was handicapped will not be back

Had heard great things about this course, including having impeccable greens. The greens were some of the worst I’ve played all year. Pace of play was not enforced. Nearly a 5 hour round before noon on a Tuesday. They acknowledged the subpar conditions but did not adjust their prices.

Jim the starter the most friendly , personable guy at any course !!! Heck of a compliment. Course fun unfortunately the greens pretty beat up with marks and bad patches .

Enjoyable course with excellent staff. Fairways and bunkers in excellent condition and greens in good condition. Would definitely recommend and play and again.

One of the most picturesque courses in Illinois. Exciting layout suitable for all levels of skill

Course has seen better days. I enjoy the layout and scenery of this course. Price is on the high end, but overall good value. The carts feel nice and new. Couple bare spots on a couple of the greens, but was only in play once.

I’ve played Stonewall 2 or 3 times in the last two weeks. They had a few (maybe 4-5) greens or collars that had a couple dry spots on the top of the steepest mounds but it really didn’t affect my play. Most all the other areas and greens were fantastic like always. I also witnessed staff sodding some tee box areas that have seen the most play on par 3’s. I played in 4 hours and it was pretty packed from what I could see. I love the comfy carts and the staff is always great.
