Earl Stone

37 courses on Course Vaults

Earl Stone carved out a prolific career designing golf courses primarily across the American Southeast, with a concentrated footprint along Alabama's Gulf Coast and the Florida Panhandle. His portfolio reflects a focus on accessible, regionally rooted layouts that serve both resort and daily-fee markets. Notable designs include the Marsh and Cypress courses at Peninsula Golf & Racquet Club in Gulf Shores, Alabama, and the Seminole/Choctaw combination at Indian Bayou Golf Club in Destin, Florida.

Stone's work extends across multiple states, from Rock Creek Golf Club in Fairhope, Alabama, to state park facilities such as Oak Mountain in Pelham and the Eagle's Nest at Lake Guntersville. His designs often emphasize playability within natural settings, catering to a broad range of golfers. Courses like Marcus Pointe in Pensacola and TimberCreek Golf Club in Daphne demonstrate his ability to work with varied topography and client needs.

While Stone's courses may not command the same national spotlight as some contemporaries, his extensive regional influence and the enduring presence of his layouts throughout the Gulf South mark a sustained contribution to the game's infrastructure in the area.
