Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best time of year to play The Woods Resort Stony Lick Course?

We find late spring-early summer (May-June) and early fall (September-October) offer the ideal conditions at Stony Lick. You'll enjoy comfortable temperatures and the course is typically in peak shape, avoiding the summer humidity and any potential winter closures.

What makes Stony Lick unique, and what's its biggest challenge?

Stony Lick truly stands out with its dramatic elevation changes and a layout that demands strategic shot placement over brute force. We particularly remember the tricky par-3 14th, which plays significantly downhill and requires precise club selection to hit the green.

Is Stony Lick suitable for all skill levels, or is it more for experienced golfers?

While Stony Lick offers a genuine challenge, especially from the back tees, it's surprisingly playable for a range of handicaps. We recommend choosing the appropriate tee box; the forward tees make it a much more enjoyable experience for higher handicappers without sacrificing the course's character.

What's the post-round experience like at The Woods Resort after playing Stony Lick?

After your round on Stony Lick, we always head to the resort's clubhouse for a well-deserved drink and a casual bite. The relaxed atmosphere is perfect for recounting your best shots, and the views from the patio are a fantastic way to unwind.

Do you have any specific tips for navigating Stony Lick and saving strokes?

Our biggest tip for Stony Lick is to pay close attention to the pin positions and approach shots; many greens have subtle breaks that can quickly add strokes. Don't be afraid to play for the center of the green, especially on your first time around.
