Frequently Asked Questions

What's the signature challenge at Stonewall's Palmer Course, and how should I prepare?

You'll quickly discover that water is a constant companion here, particularly on the back nine where Stonewall Jackson Lake comes into play. We recommend bringing a few extra balls and focusing on precise iron play, especially on holes like the par-3 11th, which demands a carry over the lake. Don't let the beauty distract you from the strategic demands.

When is the absolute best time to play the Palmer course at Stonewall for ideal conditions and scenery?

For the perfect blend of lush conditions and comfortable temperatures, we always steer friends towards late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October). The course truly shines with vibrant greens or stunning autumn foliage, and you'll avoid the peak summer humidity while enjoying firm, fast fairways.

Beyond the golf, what unique amenities or experiences at Stonewall Resort truly enhance a golf trip to this Palmer course?

The resort's commitment to the golf experience extends beyond the course itself; the practice facilities are top-notch, with a fantastic range and short game area to dial in your game before a round. After your game, grabbing a drink at the Palmer's Grill overlooking the lake is a must-do, offering the perfect spot to relive your best shots.

How does the Palmer design at Stonewall truly reflect his style, and what specific holes should I look forward to?

Palmer's signature risk-reward philosophy is evident throughout, particularly on the par-5s where aggressive lines can pay off but also lead to trouble. Keep an eye out for the dramatic par-4 18th, a fantastic finishing hole that demands a precise drive and a thoughtful approach over water to a challenging green, truly embodying his design flair.

Is the green fee at Stonewall's Palmer Course justified, and what level of service can I expect for the price?

Absolutely, the green fee here is well worth it for the immaculate conditions and the genuine Palmer design experience you receive. You can expect attentive, friendly staff from the bag drop to the pro shop, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable day that feels truly special, not just another round.
