Course Overview
Stone Harbor Golf Club offers an engaging golf experience set within the coastal landscape of Cape May Court House, New Jersey.

Walking the course is encouraged, with terrain gentle enough for comfortable navigation alongside helpful cart options.

Good test of golf with the toughest finishing hole in the state. Greens are usually fast and conditions are good. The re-build on the front nine made it more fair and playable, especially on 2 and 6. One problem though; slow play. Last 2 times I was there, the foursomes in front of us were allowed to take 2 hours and 30 minutes to play the front nine with carts allowed on the course. In both cases, nobody was preparing to shoot or lining up putts while others were hitting. Very strange. Private club golf should take 3 and a half hours per foursome, not 5 hours. One group of women let us through on 10. The next time, we got no such invite from the men in front of us and just skipped 10. There was no one in front of them and we played the back in 1.25 hours. Clubhouse, service, food, etc. are all top quality.

I have learned that you can not get out on weekends, holidays and days before holidays late afternoon if you are a social member . So beware if you are thinking of joining as a social and want to play on the weekend or holidays in season , not happening.

We absolutely love everything about the Stone Harbor Golf Club - The service, the staff, the food, the ambience, etc. My son’s wedding in October was perfection; in very large part due to the care and attentiveness of the staff. Every event is done with elegance and class. All of friends whom we bring to the club are highly impressed. The staff is exceptional. They all work so hard to ensure a memorable experience for all. During the majority of our dining experiences, we’ve had the pleasure of Beth taking care of us. She has gone above and beyond to get to know our likes and dislikes, always with a smile. We appreciate her attentiveness, even when she has so many others to take care of. She is a true delight. We are beyond thrilled that we have found the Stone Harbor Golf Club.

Every time we deal with Beth I wonder why she’s still employed there. She’s rude, condescending and really brings this place down. If you’re trying to create an upscale, warm and inviting experience that’s the last person you want to have representing your brand.

We hosted our daughters bridal shower at the Stone Harbor Gulf Club on Sunday. The affair was just perfect. The club is beautiful, the staff happy helpful and on top of every detail. The chef created a wonderful meal that made everyone want seconds. He also created a vegan meal at the last minute that made me want to become a vegan...Thank you all for working together and making our funcation a magical event..
