Nice way to spend a few hours

Nice course, not the longest but long enough

Staff is very nice, mostly volunteers and very helpful

Layout squeezes into the terrain forcing a few back to back par 3s

A great value and you get around in under 4 hours

Same as always

Getting stuck behind 5 players is never fun especially the ones that cant play golf.moving the empty beer cans off the tee boxes and watching these idiot's parking the carts on the greens didn't make for a good round. When the ranger finally tried to move them along not off only along the damage was already done . I gave up after 11 holes reminding my self why do I come back here always slow slow play.

stay way from this course

I normally don't do this but today I had the WORST experience. The Golf course Ranger was a completely dissaster. I come to Chicago ones a month for business and I like to enjoy a nice golf course after meetings and calls. I got to the course about 8:30 AM and a nice lady at the pro Shop advised me that I need to be at the 10th hole before 9:30 Am because there is a group of 8 schedule at that time, well I went to the green for about 20 minutes and then approached to the 10th hole. After my first shot, when I was waiting for the group on from of me to step out of the green, this unprofessional (course Ranger), told me to leave because there was a league playing and I was not supposed to be there. I understand that they may have an event but the way he approached to me was so disrespectful that I had to leave the course immediately.

Ones again, I normally don't like to do this, but I will never go back to that course. If you still want to go, I hope that you get a different experience and you probably will enjoy your time there.

I just want to mention some courser that a visited before around that area that really care about customers experience not like this one.

A little gem.

Great place to work on your short game. Well kept for a busy municipal course. Challenging greens. I will be back.

Quiet and secluded

Other than the constant planes you would have no idea that you were in Chicago the way this course is tucked into the woods. Wide forgiving fairways and deer running across the fairways multiple times during our game.

Stoney Creek Golf Course

This is the first time that I played this course. I enjoyed the layout, the nice fairways and greens. I initially picked this golf course because it was shorter in yardage than most golf courses in the area, yet it was an 18 hole course. I played with my adult daughter, who hasn't played golf since she was a little girl. I was amazed by the variety of holes and also by some of the carries over water. I was also amazed at how well she did under the circumstances. I am looking forward to bringing my grandchildren out to play here as well. Dan Mackey

Don’t be deceived by the yardage. Great greens, occasional sand traps,, but an interesting layout that will test your iron game .

Return visit

Weekend golf is usually painfully slow, but today’s visit was lucky timing as I began immediately after an outing which had just ended. I finished my round in under 2 hours behind another single who also zoomed through the course.

Positives:

- Short distance and extra par 3s give the shorter irons more action.

- Course fairways, greens, and tees were in acceptable condition.

Negatives:

- Fleet of golf carts are in need of being replaced.

- Only found two bunkers today, but both were crusty and in poor condition. Need more sand and some TLC.

- From a cosmetic standpoint things such as fence posts, signs, cart paths, and bridges could use some attention and updates.
