Definitely Worth the Drive

Been reading about this course as one of the top courses in Illinois and it did not disappoint.

Had a great round - greens were amazing - super tough and super fast just the way they should be. Course was set away from houses so it felt very private.

It was like golfing at a very nice private course without the fee for it at $65 it was a steal for such a great course.

Shout out to the great staff John - in the club house let me replay 1&2 b/c as though there was not enough time to replay the front 9 he let me play 2 extra holes b/c I could not get enough golf- great customer service cannot wait to go back.

Great course

I have played many courses in the northern Illinois and this was by far one of the better ones. From the high end carts, friendly staff and awesome courses layout and condition it was a great experience.

Thank you for your review. Yes, we do have several messages about speed of play and areas where carts are not allowed etc. All have a purpose to help the golfer who perhaps has not played here before. We look forward to seeing you again.

Poor maintenance for the price

These were the hardest greens I have ever played on and made our round not very enjoyable. For $82 a person I hoped for a better maintained course.

Walked

Not worth it anymore

Stonewall seems to be declining, attention to detail is slipping. Another course that charges the same for walking as riding which is ridiculous, and I always hear about pace of play, well when your average rider is probably 20 handicap or more and the average walker is under 20, there is no way carts are faster, and Ive proven that time and time again, 4 hours on the nose for our foursome walking.
No drinking water on the course is getting old, Makray does it right, bottled water in coolers on the course, and low and behold they charge a little less than Stonewall, much nicer course. I won't be playing here anymore this year or recommend this place.

Thanks Erik
We do have walking rates on weekend mornings and as the day goes on, our rate includes a complimentary cart during certain times. Our starter does inform all groups of our new Water/Ice Station after holes 6 & 14 along with vending options. Also, our rates that include cart are not based on pace of play or the handicap of the golfer whether they are a walker or a rider. Thanks for playing. Hope to see you again.

A must play

I've played this course dozens of times and it never gets old. The layout is superb and offers a variety of different shots at each hole. Greens are already in great condition and as the trees/plants bloom the course only gets better. Best track in Lake County, IL.

Great/Challenging Course

Been awhile since I’ve played it. Course in better shape than some of the ones that I’ve played so far. Obviously some holes my eyes don’t agree with, but scored pretty good for early in the season.

Wonderful experience!

The staff at Stonewall Orchard is the very best and provides such a welcoming feel right upon arrival. Course was in great shape with excellent scenery and wildlife to take in during the round. Fairways are pristine and bunkers are well manicured. Greens were running at a fair speed. Beverage/snack cart came around about every 4 holes which was nice. Overall, my playing partners and I had a very enjoyable day playing Stonewall Orchard and will definitely be back!

I love this course typically. It's a true championship caliber layout. However the greens are the worst I've ever seen here. Chewed up and brown spots everywhere. Not worth $90+ to come play. Maybe $50
