Stone Hedges Golf
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best time of year to play Stone Hedges Golf?
We've found that late spring through early fall offers the most ideal conditions at Stone Hedges. The course truly shines when the bentgrass greens are at their peak, and you'll avoid the more extreme temperatures of summer or the chill of late autumn. Aim for a weekday morning to beat the crowds and enjoy a more relaxed pace.
What's the signature challenge at Stone Hedges?
You absolutely have to experience the 14th hole, affectionately known as 'The Quarry Drop.' It's a dramatic par-3 where you hit from an elevated tee over an old stone quarry to a green guarded by a creek. It's a real test of nerve and club selection, and a highlight of the round.
Is Stone Hedges a walkable course, or should I take a cart?
While technically walkable, we strongly recommend taking a cart at Stone Hedges. The elevation changes, especially on the back nine, are significant, and you'll want to save your energy for your swing, not the trek between holes. Trust us, your legs will thank you.
What should I expect from the course conditions, especially the greens?
Expect well-maintained bentgrass greens that roll true but can be deceptively quick, especially on downhill putts. The fairways are generally lush, but straying off them means contending with some thick fescue that will punish errant shots. Keep it in the short grass, and you'll be rewarded.
Is Stone Hedges worth the green fee, and what kind of golfer is it best for?
Absolutely, it's a fantastic value for the experience, offering a memorable round without breaking the bank. Stone Hedges is best for golfers who appreciate a challenging layout that respects its natural landscape, with plenty of strategic shots required. If you enjoy a course with character and a bit of a test, you'll love it here.
