Family owned by three sisters (Whitney, Lindsey and Kathryn Neidus), StoneWater Golf Club is an award-winning, challenging 18-hole course where Jason Day won his first professional championship in 2007. Winding across 180 acres, golfers of all skill levels are welcome at the club that offers public play, membership, its own Linksman Golf Academy for lessons, practice spaces and top-flight cocktails and food at the Rustic Grill.
Try It: Hole 1
Off the tee, you’ll find StoneWater to be a very challenging and enjoyable course. It starts at hole 1, where you have to pick the right club to drive it out onto the fairway by favoring the right center to avoid the creek running though the fairway. A fairway wood is suggested for big hitters. The second shot is one where, if you want to play it safe, you can land it short of the green. A risk taker, however, may choose to aim for the flag and attack the green, but has to steer clear of the bunkers on the left and water on the right.
