Stonewolf Golf Club

Wow! I played here on 5/2/2014 on my way back to Chicago from a St. Louis trip. Looked at the courses on my way back home and this one stood out. Have not played any other course in the area to compare with BUT this course was outstanding! First off, it is very challenging, especially if you have never played here before. Half of the front 9 holes are target golf where less than driver or 3-wood is needed off the tee since the fairway ends to waste area. But where the course becomes super challenging is the terrain of the course. Hilly is an understatement. Hole #1 is qualified for X-Game snowboarding competition. It is borderline silly. It is playable if you know where to hit your tee shot. Almost all the greens are tiered or have undulations, so they no bargains for being on regulation.

This course has changing elevation throughout. Not something you see in the Chicago suburbs. It is beautiful to the eye. You need to be a triathlon to walk this course, even just 9 holes. No 2 fairway play adjacent to one another. Fairway is fairly wide/generous but if you miss, you'll be penalized. Average number of water hazards and traps.

Condition of the course: Fairway was outstanding. Greens were a bit patchy from players not repairing ball marks. Almost all bunkers were under repair; dug out where you see the drainage pipe so they were packed down.

I can't wait to play this course again. I know a little more to position my shots. It will still be challenging. Wish there was a course remotely similar to Stonewolf in DuPage county. Bring lots of balls. Seriously.

I've played here a few times and really like the course layout.
Yesterday was a little on the busy side and cart path only so it made for a long day (5+ hours) Everyone is friendly and the scenery is nice.

Played at Stonewolf as a 3some Monday at 3. We were one of few groups playing. Tee boxes, bunkers and greens were in nice shape for mid April.

from the second you walk in the clubhouse you're impressed. pictures of the designer jack nickalus everywhere. the pro shop has everything and a friendly guy behind the counter. golf carts have gps on them. classy. the course is difficult but really fun. it rained pretty hard on my girlfriend and I but it was still fun. only been playing a year and getting better. I enjoy a challenge. i'll be back.

Course very hilly. Some holes a little tricky. course a little rough but it's early in the year.

First time out this season. First few holes are tough. Greens were in good condition. Sand traps were not in good shape, but we did just have 5 inches of rain this week.

We played the day after a good rain so the conditions were wet and soupy, but you can tell they take good care of the course and when played during peek season it is a very nice course! I would definitely rev come d this course and will be playing there again.

I have always like Stonewolf. This was about the fourth or fifth time playing it. 25 MPH winds with 40 MPH gusts make it very tough. Greens were a little bumpy, but it is early in the season. Suggest you try it after late April.

I think the price could have been cheaper due to the time of the year and the conditions of the course the greens were in good shape.

Nicklaus courses are always interesting. Fairway and green bunkers are strategically placed to challenge the average "joe" but still provide loads of fun for all.

A fun course offering it's fair share of difficulty. I've played this course twice so far and will no doubt be back for more. It has everything I enjoy in a course. Precision shots and a challenging layout being at the forefront. Its definitely not your driver to short iron to putter kind of course. I'm more of a risk taking golfer, choosing driver more often than not but this course rewards course management and club selection. Conditions were great for mid-feb and will no doubt improve once the weather does. I'm sure it will become a favorite course of mine come summer time.

First time that I played this course this year and I was very impressed. I always enjoy playing this course and this time was no exception. The fairways were in good shape for this time of the year and the greens were also in great shape. I could not pass up this deal on golf now. I will definitely go back to play this course in the new year.

Challenging Course. Very Fun to play. It was in great shape.

Our foursome enjoyed the challenges at Stonewolf and also the scenic beauty of the course. The course condition was not ideal but this was somewhat expected since we were playing in early November. The sand traps were the only significant drawback as the majority of them had no sand. Again, this may have been due to the time of year. We all agreed that we want to play the course again when the weather turns better next spring. It was a great value for the money.

I highly recommend the course, some of the holes require the player to think, using a driver off the tee on some of the par 4's require, you to manage your distance properly.

Windy day. Apparently it was cart path only and no one told me (I had to rush to the teebox, even though I was 10 minutes early). It wasn't until hole 9 that someon yelled at me for being on the fairway (going in on the entrance and leaving on the exit posted). It would have been better had they explained that when I checked in. Only complaint with the course was the sand. Not raked, wet and hard as plaster board, so no way to dig into the sand to get the ball out.

To start with elevationnnnnnn, followed by strategically placed sand traps in the middle of course, as well as guarding the greens. The greens themselves are double tiered, small surface area, and false fronted. My advice for this track is to not get caught up in analyzing everything, because there is a lot to take in. Play conservative and don't force shots; windows of opportunity will present themselves...... be patient.

This is the only course in the area I play from the bunkers. My wife played it and after her third or fourth bunker abover her head she said" Jack Nickalaus is a golf devil. At lease Jack could have put in a rope ladder in for us short folks.". I alway curse this course. Can't wait to go back.

$18 was a super deal, just very hard course. Only thing that ticked our group off was we waived the leaf blower machine guy by us when we were ready to tee off. he didnt shut it down and wait so might as well let him go by. he kept the blower trailer he was pulling going and filled our golf carts with dirt/debris/etc. Who trained this guy!!

Course is challenging, beautiful and fun. Greens in very good shape for mid-October, especially for a late Sunday game. Price is good for this course. More people would play golf if they could get this rate. Fairways in good shape for wet conditions. Bunkers could have used a little more maintenace.
Would love to play there often with the rate we paid.
