Stony Creek Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Stony Creek is part of the Huron-Clinton Metroparks system and many locals consider it to be one of its gems. There aren't any residences near the golf course, giving it a secluded feel and providing unhindered views from the elevated tees. The course opened in 1976 but underwent a major renovation that included re-sculpting the bunkers and reconditioning the entire golf course. The layout features several doglegs and a surprising amount of elevation changes. The fairways are tightly lined with trees and bunkers are strategically placed along the greensides and landing zones. There are also lakes and ponds that come into play on six holes on the front nine and three on the back. Stony Creek's par-3 17th is the most memorable water hole and the 14th is also notable for its tiny "postage stamp" green.

6 hour rounds
if you like playing very long rounds, this is the place for you. 9 holes took 3 hours, left at the turn
waited on every shot and every T box.
dont play on the weekends
Visit back to Michigan
During my visit back home to Michigan I played Stoney Creek GC as it had been years since I last played it. Personnel was friendly and the course was in very good shape. The price was right however; I was a bit surprised when I arrived at the entrance of the park and had to pay $10 to enter although I had a tee time and had no intention of using the park other than golf. I did not remember this in the past and felt that I should not have to pay an additional fee to play there. It was still worth the price, this is just a head’s up.
Stoney
Course was playing like hard pan. Not what I was used to but once adjusted the course is fun and challenging.
Pace and Tee boxes
While the course and greens were great, the tee boxes were really beat up and finding a level/flat spot to put the tee and have my feet on the same plane was challenging.
Additionally, the pace of play was slow. The ranger did nothing to keep it moving. The group in front us ended up combining with the group in front of them and it really slowed things down
Stoney
Course was great and always a challenge. In great shape except the bunkers were very hard packed and need to have sand added
Stoney Creek
Course was average, pace of play very slow. Course maintenance 3. Staff 2
Great Value
I played some of the other Metro Parks. I think the Metro Park system does a Great job keeping their course's nice. Recommend playing during the week, the rates are great for us Seniors.
Well maintained course on GolfNow deal
Stoney Creek, being part of a Metro Park was nicely maintained and gave the feel of golfing in northern Michigan. The fairways were mostly forgiving, but I thought the greens were tough with some undulation that I don't normally experience on cheaper golf courses. Made it fun and challenging though.
Fair price but slow pace
Was a very slow pace of play all round long and course was not in the greatest shape. But would most likely play it again in the future.
metropark golf
I haven't played here in a few years and I know why pace of play is horrible course was running 10 minutes behind form scheduled tee time which should not be a problem at most courses but I have a 5hour and 30 minute round keep in mind I tee off at 10:04 am had a ranger but he was useless did not help move the pace of play and the tee boxes are torn to crap. Please!!!! If you want to play a metro park go to Lyon Oaks the best park in the county avoid this place unless you want to spend time with bugs and sun
Great Round
Course was in good shape, a couple of tee boxes were less than ideal but overall the course was in good shape. Fun and fair course, would definitely recommend.
