About
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.

Challenging, well maintained, and players course
Played at 709am from second furthest tees. Some areas of the course were overwatered. Greens were medium speed and smooth. Fairways were nice. The layout forces you to layup. Good use of signs near the tees such as "240 yds to end of fairway" A shotmakers course, not for the beginner. Overall, expect near pristine conditions on a nice day.
This course is in great condition!
Can't wait to play Stonewolfe again. Nice to play a course that is in such good condition late in the season after a dry summer.
Pristine course, great staff, and a good challenge!
I've never played at Stonewolf and thought, "well, the course conditions cost me a shot or two." It is always in great shape and the greens are always nice and fast. It seems very well managed and organized and the staff is always friendly and respectful. It can be a little pricey (especially on the weekends at $65 for primetime golf) so I usually only play it when I can get a deal on Golfnow; it is one the few courses in the area that is actually worth the money you would pay for the full price (I just can't afford it). The design is beautiful and at times challenging but not overwhelming. However, make sure you pay attention to the hole layouts because you can hit a good shot too far and be in a ditch or a bad lie just because you used the wrong club (especially #1). This course makes you play smart, I love it!
Excellent Fairways
Tough course. Excellent fairways and tee boxes. You won't be dissappointed.
Course is challenging but still fun! Deep sand traps but a straight ball helps.
Wonderful course. Enjoyed it very much! Play went well,
Slower players let us play thru.
Great Nicholas course.
One of the best coursedps in the St Louis area. Highly recommended.
Awesome course
The fairways look like green carpet, they are in perfect shape. The greens are in excellent shape as well. Bring your A game to this challenging course, shot placement is a must for a low round!
Best Course I have played this year. Excellent Condition
This Course was in the best condition I have see this year. From the tee boxes-fairways to the greens...hats off to your whole staff on having an excellent golf course.
One of the Best in the Area
This course is always challenging for me. As a 20 Handicap it the constant threat of bunkers, particularly greenside can really derail an otherwise good round.
Course conditions are always some of the best around, though rain can make a few holes pretty soft as the course has several low areas as it winds through hills and creek beds.
All in all a great course, and if you get a tee time on golf now for $44 bucks on a Saturday Morning it can't be beat!
My favorite local course
The perfect blend of challenge and beauty. Extremely well-tended. A delight to play.
Great course for a Hot Deal.
I'm a beginner golfer, and this is definitely a challenging course for me. I wouldn't pay full price to play it, but it was definitely an outstanding deal at $20!
bunkers need to tended to
the course was in decent shape. it had more clover in the rough than previous rounds. the bunkers desperately need to be raked. the sand is packed tight and shallow.
Better than ever
Have played here since it opened, and is in great condition way better than in the past few years. Close to how it was supposed to be when Jack designed it. Few holes have some ground under repair. Bunkers are very thin but playable.
Beware of the first 4 holes!
This is a fantastic course. If you survive the first four holes, take a deep breath and press on! Great clubhouse. Nice driving range and putting green. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens are excellent. Bunkers have nice quality sand. Residents each take care of specific greensand this maintains the championship quality of their performance. Move up one tee box and enjoy the scenery.
challenging course
overall very nice condition except the bunkers were not maintained at all. This would be very close to my favorite around two if the bunkers were maintained.
Great value. Course in great shape, although fairways were soggy in spots due to 4" of rain the day before. Easy access from St. Louis.
Had a great time for my first outing here. Play in my foursome was slow due to "cart path only" rule due to wet grounds and lost balls. Accuracy a must. Some holes are hilly, and some are flat. Water and thick rough or woods and in-close out-of-bounds can be problems for a hacker like me.Scenic. Deer abound. Easy access from west of the Miss. River.
This is a course that if you play it for the first time you will not know where the areas of the course are where you can cut off strokes.
This is one of the nicer courses in the St. Louis area. If you are a first time golfer on this course it will be a lot harder to score because you won't know where to cut off strokes. Afterr you play Stonewolf for the first time you will want to come back again and again.
Challenging
Every hole was a challenge and the course in excellent condition. I will definitely visit again.
