Stone River Golf Club

I’ve played this course several times over the past year and overall have had a good experience. Today however was one of the worst I have had and it feels like the $18 I paid was overpriced. The fairways are like concrete, the pace of play was horrible and the greens keeper put pins literally on the edges of huge slopes, making the dry and fast greens just unenjoyable to play. I live in Rockwall and have found this to be a good deal for the quickness of play and overall course but after today, I don’t think I’ll be back!

Nice course overall. Fairly forgiving course except for a handful of holes that are tougher especially if you don’t know the layout. Greens were in great shape; they just rolled slow all day. Friendly staff.

It’s not the best course around DFW but it is very convenient and the greens are nice. No bunkers on the course so you better know how to pitch the ball or bump and run. It’s not a long course but there are a couple of holes that you can get into some serious trouble on. Take your time and plan your next shot.

It’s hard to believe an afternoon tee time was over $35 during a week day. This is my 3rd time playing here this year, figured maybe by late summer it would be in shape, and it was not so. The greens were rolling about a 5. I am not joking. Slowest greens I have putted on this year. But still they were rock hard, just seems like they haven’t been mowed. Hard to gauge any short game shots like that. Going from lag putting to short putts is frustrating. I think the fairways may actually roll a bit faster. Having said that, it’s actually hard to tell where fairways end and rough begin because, well, it’s all pretty rough. Clumps of weeds and cracked hardpan ground litter the space between tee and green. I’m not joking, you see dust fly when your ball hits the fairway. Never liked all the false edges around the green either. It’s not done in a “pinehurst” manner it’s more of a homemade look if anything. I just can’t see myself ever going back unless this place does a complete 180. I wish I could use lack of rain as an excuse but no other course in this area is this poorly conditioned. Save your money and go somewhere else if you can.

It looks as if only the greens on the course have been watered all summer. Huge cracks big enough to lose golf balls in are found everywhere including many fairways. $40 is about twice too expensive for these conditions even on the weekend.

Great golf course, windy course, staff was really friendly but never seen the golf cart girl the whole 18 holes.

Allowed 5 people to play in a group and did not have marshal to push people to play faster. Course was hard to figure out with signs showing you where to go. Not to mention cracks in fairway that a golf did fit in.. Granted its Texas in July.

I usually like this course because it's close, cheap and it's always a relaxing time. Never had a bad experience outside my own playing abilities.

However, 5 1/2 hours to play 14 holes as a single? There was a ton of people on the course. There should really be a cut off or tee times specific and if that many people.

Still a 3 star for me because it's close and not expensive.
