Stone River Golf Club

My expectations are never high here but they have let most of this course become unplayable. Probably the worst fairways I have seen on my 40 years of playing golf.

The course is really rough and rock hard. Layout winds through homes. Cartpath lacks signage. Scorecard does not show cartpath. It shows city streets?? Which you have to navigate across several times. Greens wont hold. Prople at counter dont like GolfNow. Made us feel unwelcome. Lots of weeds on and around the greens. League night on back so we had play front 9 twice. Overbooked and needs a real course manager.

Have played here a couple of times and still need my map notes to navigate back and forth and down poorly marked cart paths. The route is within a tight housing development. The cartpath crosses city streets at least 6 times. Fairways so dry puffs of dust follow ball.

The people in clubhouse dont care for “GolfNow”, but they did accept our reservation after I showed them my receipt. Said “reservation wasnt done right by GolfNow”.

Ended up on League Night on back nine. So instructed to play front 9 twice. So we didnt play holes 10-18 this time. The course was also VERY HARD and DRY. Fairways are crabgrass. Difficulty holding several hard and small grerns. This course is what it is.. cramped and overbooked.

Played the day after a rain (roughly .5" the night before an 11AM tee time) and that was a big mistake! Unfortunately the course has really poor drainage and roughly half of every fairway was submerged under standing water. The greens were dry, but very fuzzy. I'm guessing they haven't mowed in the past week or so due to weather scares. It needs a lot of work before the summer season to have actual playable grass. Overall, I would give it another shot, but maybe not until after a very long dry spell.

Played 9 holes after work. We played the back 9 since they have a league that was playing the front 9 holes. Greens were in good condition. Fun course to play.

No maintenance is being done here. No water has been put on course.

Not a blade of grass anywhere on any fairway.

Hitting off concrete like dirt or dead grass clumps.

Ponds are full but course was dry and hard. It’s not the money, save your time for golf and play somewhere else.

The staff is very friendly, I hate it for them as they are good people.

Greens were very inconsistent and some tee boxes had very little grass on them

Nice course but in very sad condition. Fairway grass completely dried out. Tees had limited grass, only dirt/dust.

Winter hit this course really hard. Nearly no grass on the fairways.

I have golfed here many times and yesterday may have been the last. Their HotDeal teetime is cheap and being familiar with the course, I know what to expect. This time was really bad. Neither of the other two singles at the same time wanted to pair up, so I teed off and played the first 4 holes before catching up to an older couple.They politely offered to let me pass which I did once finished with the fifth hole. I then teed off on 6 and wound up behind a single, waiting to take his second shot on the fairway. There was a group of 6, yes 6, on the green and a foursome on the next hole. I skipped past it all, teed off on 8 and wound up behind two slow groups of two and left before even finishing the 9th hole. Unbelievably SLOW play, no organization for pace at all. The course was chewed up everywhere, the greens have little weeds which makes putting tough and hole 14 was closed because of weather that happened a week ago. It all just culminated with me making a decision to leave and not deal with a death march of an afternoon .

Normally, I am pretty patient, but this time it was exceedingly awful. I’ll pay more money in the future and hopefully have a much more pleasant experience. Sorry to say it, but Stone River just isn’t worth it.
