Olde Stonewall Golf Club

The course was in great shape and the greens were great. The pro shop and starters were very friendly. Being spring the trees are just starting to bloom. The summer and fall have great views especially on 13 and 16. Check out the view from the gray tee on 16. You can walk the front; however, the back is very difficult to walk but the back has great views (to many hills and some green to tee are a hike).

Some things to know when golfing:
o They do not have a cart person so stock up before you start and at the turn..
o They do have a halfway house at the first tee and at the turn. The food is excellant and they have frozen adult beverages and of course beef. The egg sandwiches are a must have. The staff are amazing and friendly.
o The restaurant/lounge bar are not open on Mondays and maybe open on Tuesdays so check with the staff.
o Bunkers on the front are in good shape. Some on the back are not so good due to runoff.
o Check on line for the green fees since they can be high during on season.

Course was in very good shape. Greens were fast and true. Front nine is a challenge but you better bring your A game for the back nine which plays much more difficult in my opinion.

The elevation changes and views are a must see. I would definitely come back.

the most amazing views of any course in Western PA. perfect fairways and greens. sand traps were just ok (typical of a public course).
only problem was the pace of play. Since it's a challenging course, there are a lot of lost ball and it slows things down. they need a ranger on the course keeping every group moving.
that's the only negative.

I can say the course is very nice. The starters not so much. Went out of our way to come to this $150 plus course after our RTJ/Cog Hill trip. Upon arrival. Bag drop with my gallon of water. As I always brought to numerous courses with zero issues. Tpc sawgrass Jacksonville and a number of other high end courses. Not to mention it’s been downright hot with heat indexes in the 100s. First thing you say to me is laugh and say you can’t bring that on here? Don’t let the pro see you. I said what? He says my water. I’m paying $175, going out of my way. If I can’t bring my water I’m leaving. Definitely not giving you my money. Busting me about water. We also didn’t see the cart girl until the 17th hole. But don’t bring that water, please dehydrate yourself. Ridiculous in so many ways. Add the actual starter, having a hissy, to explain a couple things about the course since it was our first time.

Course A
Staff except gal inside D

Get staff that makes players feel welcomed. Worse staff I’ve dealt with in 9 years of playing.

First time golfing here. Milo at the front desk was great and extremely helpful. This course was nothing shy of incrinkulent.

Traveling in from NC and played a round with my brother. They have a nice military discount for those who served. Course was in excellent condition, pace was excellent, newer carts and super friendly staff. Course had some challenging greens, small and lots of contours. Bunkers were in great shape as i found myself playing from a few. Will definitely book another round when I’m back in the area.

Beautiful course in excellent condition. Amazing restaurant & bar was not open (Monday) so check and play a day restaurant is open. It’s worth planning that way. Put Olde Stone Wall on your must play list. You won’t be disappointed but you need to eat at Shakespeare’s after!

The hills and the trees and the brooks are so beautiful. This course is something so different than anything I have ever played. This course is difficult but yet so amazing to see and play I would highly recommend if you are anywhere near the area. The staff was great and so was the amenities as well as the food. Ty for a great day.

Course in great conditions. Very friendly and helpful stuff. The course is challenging but fair. If your drive is in a fairway, the second shot is from a flat area. With exception of hole number 8, every green is visible. This is my favorite golf course.

I usually play Olde Stonewall at least once a year. My most recent experience I found the course in great shape as the grounds crew does a magnificent job. However, the pace of play has slowed down considerably in recent years. There is no ranger to be found in order to move play along. There was an instance where there 9 groups on 3 holes. This is extremely disheartening as I really enjoy the course and look forward to playing it every year.

Difficult, beautiful, and well worth it. It’s truly a treat.

Nicest course I’ve ever played. Great views, great people. Would recommend.

I am quickly becoming a big fan of Hurdzan and Fry’s work because of layouts like Olde Stonewall, roughly 30 minutes northwest of Pittsburgh.

They made great use of the land they were given. The front nine rises from the banks of the Connoquenessing Creek and is relatively flat, compared to the inward half, which rises up over wooded hills to a breathtaking ridge.

Autumn golf in this part of the country was better than expected. Though there was a brief frost delay before temps crept into the lower 40s, it never felt that cold. Course conditions were also exceptional, allowing for carts off path on most of the holes.

After easing in with an opening par 5, the course really takes shape. The holes around the small lake, hard against the creek, are very memorable. Thousands of huge grey stones shape the course, giving it a unique feel.

Holes 11-18 are a roller coaster ride. Nos. 12-16 are as visually stimulating as they are challenging, and provide a stellar finish to the round.

The back-to-back par 3s at 14 and 15 are unique and play quite differently, though both require longer shots than it appears. Has anyone else seen the fake rhino in the reeds in front of the 14th green? Stumbled upon it searching for my ball and startled me before I realized what it was!

The maintenance crew does an outstanding job not only with keeping the general aesthetics of the course in great condition, but also do a notable job of clearing the falling leaves. Never once lost a ball in the fallen leaves. I could not say the same about the course I played the day before. Great job!

Though I may be in the minority, I wasn’t crazy about the clubhouse. It is in the style of a medieval castle, and I’m sure it was in keeping with the club’s name, but I felt it a bit out of place. I don’t think a course of this caliber needs a hokey clubhouse. Pro shop was tremendous though, with much more to offer than standard ones.

The staff was very attentive and helpful at every turn. GPS on the carts were accurate.

We were about fifteen minutes early to our tee time at Olde Stonewall but wanted to hit some balls. So we asked if we could warm up and push us back on the tee sheet. Not a problem at all. Extremely accommodating. The starter then came to get us on the range when we were next on the tee, about twenty minutes after our initial tee time.

The conditions were fantastic considering the time of the year. I can imagine I would've given it five stars if it were earlier in the season so I almost feel guilty about not giving it five stars.

Pace was great and the starters ensure that groups are spread out enough so we won't be playing up behind anyone or have anyone playing up on us (even though the group behind us did but that's a long story).

I love the clubhouse that's designed like a castle. Truly one of a kind. To make a long story short, this place was fantastic and on par with every other high end public course that I have been to.
