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.

terrible Amenities
Course was in great condition. Trying to get food and beer after was a nightmare.
One of my area favorites
No coMplaints…enjoy every round when I get the chance to come out that way.
Not worth the money for its condition
This course used to be amazing! Sand was like concrete. Greens are average for the time Of the year. Range balls are extremely old.
Several old sand traps are just grass now for some reason.
Jack Nicklaus would remove his name if he saw it yesterday.
Early Season Round
Course is in decent shape for early in the year. Greens are good. sand is like dirt on some holes. I like the layout but a few holes require split shots like 10. Overall good experience.
I hope you enjoy a challenge
This course is a lot of fun. Water, woods, elevation changes. Some memorable shots. It's pretty tough though. I don't think I've ever shot a good score here. It was cart path only, which dragged down pace of play to 4:45. Greens were in decent shape for the time of year. Bunkers washed out though and grass dormant.
No Heads Up
They had their rates on their website and on golf now with open tee times but when i drove all the way from saint louis i arrived at the course only to be told they shouldn't have let me book the tee time and that the course was closed, was disappointed cause i booked an hour or two before the tee time and they didn't call to give me a heads up so i drove out there wasted my time and lost money on the reservation fee, have played here before great course great staff good rates just a bad experience this time will surely play here again tho place is awesome!
I really like this course.
This course has some really challenging holes but also some easy. It's a beautiful course.
I really like this course.
This course has some very challenging holes but there are some easy ones also. Beautiful area.
Difficult Course
This is a great course if you want a challenge. It requires a lot more than just a driver off the tee and has some very challenging approach shots. I gave a 4 on conditions mostly due to the time of year plus the course has some questionable sand and bare spots but overall really good. Had to skip the last two holes with 4 groups jammed up. One of them being a 6-some on the 18th. I'd play here more often if it wasn't so far away from me but need my game to be sharper to enjoy it.
