Stoneleigh Golf and Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the biggest challenge at Stoneleigh, and which hole should I really look out for?

Focus on the back nine, especially the stretch from 13 to 15. The par-3 13th, with its demanding carry over water, is a true test of nerve, and the greens here often play faster than you expect. You'll need precision, not just power, to score well on this course.

When is the best time of year to play Stoneleigh for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

We always recommend late spring or early fall. The course is typically in pristine condition, and the cooler temperatures make for a much more enjoyable round without the peak summer humidity. You'll find the pace of play more relaxed during these shoulder seasons too.

Is Stoneleigh strictly private, or can I play as a guest, and what should I expect for green fees?

Stoneleigh operates as a semi-private club, meaning you can often secure a tee time as a non-member, especially on weekdays or through a member guest. Expect green fees to be on the higher side, typically ranging from $120-$180, reflecting the course's excellent conditioning and amenities. It's worth it for the experience.

What's the vibe like at the Stoneleigh clubhouse after a round, and what are the must-try food options?

The clubhouse at Stoneleigh has a classic, welcoming feel - it's not overly stuffy, which we appreciate. Head straight to the grill room for their famous "Stoneleigh Burger" and a cold local craft beer; it's the perfect way to debrief your round. The patio also offers fantastic views of the 18th green.

Are there any unique features at Stoneleigh that require a specific strategy or local knowledge?

Absolutely, pay close attention to the elevation changes, particularly on holes 7 and 16. What looks like a flat lie can often be a subtle uphill or downhill, so club selection is crucial. Also, the bentgrass greens are notoriously quick and have more break than they appear, so trust your caddy or your gut on those putts.
