Nice course for a quick round. Despite no mention of it anywhere on their website, they stop selling range balls at 6:00 so don't make the trek to hit balls after work.

Nice 9 hole course, I definitely would go back. There was an incident where my partner accidentally parked the cart on an area we shouldn't have been on. It was an honest mistake, which he apologized. The grounds keeper then said to him, "I can't believe you're too lazy to walk," then drove away. It was totally inappropriate, especially after my golfing partner had apologized.

I do enjoy playing here, but just know you do get what you pay for. It's a convenient track at a somewhat decent price if you live in the area. It's also a great place for beginner golfers who are making the leap to playing an actual round of golf. The staff has always been solid until today. I hit a bad first shot of the tee, so I dropped a provisional ball. I was getting ready to re hit when I heard " One ball only!" from a grounds crew staff member. I thought it was just background noise from the practice green area. Just before I hit my provisional, a loud whistle rings out followed by "One ball only!" Do not whistle at me as if I'm a dog. Show some damn respect. I've been playing golf for over 30 years and have never been confronted this way at any golf establishment. So, from now on I will be playing 2 balls on every hole just for you Mr. grounds keeper. For those who are playing behind me, don't worry, I will never make you wait on me. I actually know the rules and the etiquette. If I see players behind me I will be out of the way quickly. I would give Stoney Creek a 4.5 star on every other day. Just not today. For the golfers who give Stoney Creekside a try for the first time, I believe you won't be disappointed for the price, as long as you don't cross paths with Mr. Grounds Keeper.

10 out of 10 on all fronts. I have been going to Stoney Creek for the last 10 years and I have never had a single bad experience in fact every time I go it is a memorable experience with beautiful scenery with love that you can feel it is in the course and the care, they take for it. The staff don't get me started on them they are super nice friendly and will often remember your name for new golfers and experienced golfers this course is a delight. They have driving ranges in car rentals in a putt-putt and a chipping course they're very convenient on price as well it's a must. I hope you all enjoy

Nice little 9 hole course. All par 3/4 with great views. Cart was like $20 to rent but we definitely could have walked it you don't need a cart. Wouldn't mind playing again.
