About this course

StoneCrest Golf Course sits in the hills of eastern Kentucky near Prestonsburg, a region characterized by the rugged topography of the Appalachian foothills. Designed by Chris Chrisman, the course works with the natural terrain of the area, where elevation changes and wooded corridors are common features of the landscape. The routing takes advantage of the rolling land, offering golfers a layout that moves through varied elevations and requires thoughtful club selection and course management. The setting reflects the character of eastern Kentucky golf, where courses often incorporate dramatic land movement and tree-lined fairways. StoneCrest's design likely emphasizes strategic positioning off the tee, as the terrain naturally creates uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies throughout the round. The property's topography provides visual interest and demands that players adapt to changing angles and distances. As a public facility in a smaller Kentucky community, StoneCrest serves both local golfers and visitors exploring the region. The course offers an accessible option for those traveling through the area or seeking golf in the eastern part of the state, where mountain scenery and forested landscapes define the experience. The layout provides a test suited to the land it occupies, with the natural features of the site shaping the challenge and character of play.

Getting there

The journey to StoneCrest Golf Course begins at Yeager Airport in Charleston, West Virginia (CRW), roughly ninety minutes to the north, or alternatively through the smaller regional hub at Tri-State Airport in Huntington, West Virginia (HTS), positioned about an hour's drive northwest. From either arrival point, the route descends into the rolling Appalachian terrain of eastern Kentucky, trading interstate corridors for state highways that wind through forested ridges and alongside the Big Sandy River valley as you approach Prestonsburg. The final stretch carries you through the quiet character of Floyd County, where the landscape opens into the pastoral setting that frames StoneCrest - a fitting transition from the broader highways into the intimate, mountain-carved geography where the course has been carved into the region's natural topography.
