Stones River Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

Can non-members play at Stones River Country Club, and how do I book a tee time?

This is a private club, so you'll need to be invited by a member or attend a sponsored event to play. We recommend reaching out to a local member if you know one, as it's truly worth the effort to experience this track. Don't expect to just walk on - planning ahead is key.

What's the overall character of the Stones River course, and is it suitable for all skill levels?

Stones River offers a classic parkland layout that's more about precision and strategy than brute force. You'll find tree-lined fairways and well-placed bunkers that demand thoughtful shot-making, but it's not overly punishing for higher handicappers if you play smart. The greens are often the real test here, with subtle breaks that will keep you guessing.

What are some must-play holes or unique features at Stones River that I should look forward to?

Keep an eye out for the par-3 7th, which plays over water to a well-guarded green - it's a beauty and a challenge. The finishing stretch, particularly the par-5 18th, offers a great risk-reward opportunity to end your round with a bang. You'll appreciate the mature trees and the peaceful, established feel throughout the course.

When is the best time of year to play Stones River, and what can I expect regarding course conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in the spring (April-May) or fall (September-October) when the weather is ideal and the course is typically in pristine condition. The bentgrass greens are usually fast and true, and the fairways are meticulously maintained. Avoid the peak summer heat if you can, as it can get quite humid.

How is the pace of play at Stones River, and what's the general atmosphere like?

You'll generally find a very comfortable pace of play here, especially during weekdays, which allows you to truly enjoy the round without feeling rushed. The atmosphere is classic country club - friendly, welcoming, but with a respectful nod to tradition. It's a place where you can relax and focus on your game.
