Stony Creek Golf Course

Steve Jobs wrote that the six best doctors in the world are sunlight, rest, exercise, diet, self-confidence and friends. At Stony Creek you have them all. Sunlight, exercise and friends are usually part of golf and they lead to rest. A good diet is available in the clubhouse. Self-confidence can found on the range and the practice green. So, Golf is good for you! I live within a mile of Stoney Creek, play there often and love it. Not long, but tricky with large greens and the creek in play on seven holes.

Such a beautiful day to play. Course was immaculate. Can’t wait to go back again. Maybe I can buy my own cart though. Walking the 18 was tiresome to the max. I’m still in pain.

Played under covid guidelines. Course in good condition overall...a little wet and the greens still had signs of aeration holes. Otherwise nice...pretty open, not a lot of trouble to get in to.

Staff was sooo pleasant. On a cold morning, I was greeted with a smile and put out on the course quickly. Got in my 18 in 2 hours flat playing 2 balls per hole. Course is short with a lot of par 3 but more than enough par 4s for those that like to pull the driver out. A lot of beer cans and cases left around the course - I think groups go out later in the day - and I assume it’s these groups that did the damage to the greens I noticed. Aside from that, the course provided a solid venue to work with every club in my bag.

Short course, par 65, if you’re looking to work on your short game this course the place with many par 3’a. Somewhat challenging pin placement and gives golfers the opportunity to play shots they normally wouldn’t. Will play here again.

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

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.

Great bang for the buck !!! No drink cart on weekdays, so plan ahead at the clubhouse bar/stand (they were very accomidating with bags of ice to keep beverages cold).

If you need to practice your game this place is wonderful.

Alot of par 3's to help build up your confidence.

Finished round in about 3 hours

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.

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