About Stoneridge Golf Club
The combination of American Style Club and a Scottish Links layout challenges golfers of all abilities. The course, designed by Arthur Hills, has four sets of tees and measures 6,920 yards from the championship markers. Peppered by many bunkers and lakes, Stone Ridge Golf Club may have you spending more time in hazards than on its plush bent grass fairways. After a journey through the bunkers, lakes and rolling terrain, you'll find yourself with a challenging putt on an undulated green. Watch out for those subtle breaks!
Taking extra time to use the full practice facility may be beneficial to your round. The facility features a full bent grass teeing area and four target areas surrounded by bunkers. You may choose to work on your knockdown shot, as wind influences many approach shots to the green. Whatever you choose to work on, you'll be prepared for a magical round on the links.
