Stonewolf Golf Club
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.

View Tee Box #1 Photo submitted by Sundayfun on 10/21/2012
Needs some TLC
Let’s hope the Golden Bear doesn’t come visit his signature course next week when he is in town. A fun course but it needs some major work. There are an abundance of bunkers but all are unplayable so it doesn’t play the way it was designed. Fairways are very nice and mowed tight which is great! Tee boxes are just ok. Greens are also decent for the amount of play they receive and roll fairly fast which is a plus!
Great round, love this place!
The course is one of the best in the bi-state area. Fairways were lush, well cut and full zoysia. Most greens were well maintained but what I don’t get is the lazy fuxs that don’t repair their ball marks on the greens. Anyway, overall an enjoyable round on a very pleasant day.
Landscaping crew etiquette
The landscaping crew were in my swings all day, looking at me like I was in their way while trying to play a round I paid for. I won't be back.
Stonewolf
Course layout was good, pace of play was decent, wasn’t waiting too much in between, bunkers were in real bad shape. New sand in some bunkers but a lot were ignored which made hitting out like hitting of clay or cement.
Beautiful course in great shape.
This course is in great shape. Greens roll fast and are soft enough to spin the ball. Easily the best public course in the metro east for the price.
Great Bang for your buck
Had an early tee time. Pace of play was excellent and course was in pretty good condition except for a few bunkers. Will play again!
Boo
The layout is good. Some greens were bumpy and some bunkers were in bad shape. It’s been in better shape in past
Recovering
Greens are still recovering from the past 2 years and at least half of them are in poor shape for a supposedly better JN design course . They're trying to make the course easier by removing many sand raps but as of today they're all ground under repair. Tee boxes and fairways were in good shape . Still recommend playing but beware of a few issues like greens Andrew slower pace of play than should be.
