Stonewolf Golf Club is one of only four courses designed by Jack Nicklaus in Illinois and Missouri and it is also one of his only public access designs. Nicklaus created a shotmaker's layout with a variety of different holes. He also incorporated his signature style of bunkering, which you'll remember for their shape, design, and placement. This is not a golf course where you'll be able to just grip it and rip it. Thoughtful strategy and careful club selection off the tees are essential for doing well. Stonewolf Golf Club opens with a tough trio of holes, ending with a short par 4 that requires a forced carry to a severe green that features a tricky elevation change right in the middle of the surface. There is also a lateral hazard on the left, and five bunkers bordering the right side.

Good course. Slow play!

I would recommend this course but they overbook and pace of play is slow. Three groups on tee at times. Plan to spend a day!

Fun, burnt, over-valued

Fun, pretty layout, but helps to have played it before. Several target holes off the tee. Hilly parts on the course, and the carts struggled to get up some. Half the greens were fairly bald and burnt. Fixing ball marks on the greens must be optional🤬. Paid $70/pp via GolfNow on Labor Day…it’s prolly closer to $50/pp value. I would compare this course to Spencer T, and it should be priced accordingly.

Need a challenge?

For ladies, this course is a bit of a challenge - some of the par 4s are long (especially #9), par 3s are fun, except hole 4 which can be challenging and par 5s are just as challenging. The day we were playing, the pace was REALLY slow - you would think 4 people playing a scramble could move along a little faster, but noooooo! It took 4.5 hrs!
