Stonetree Golf Club

Stonetree Golf Club sits in Killeen, Texas, a city in the central part of the state best known for its proximity to Fort Hood, one of the largest military installations in the country. The course was designed by Jay Riviere and Lee Singletary, architects who worked extensively across Texas and the southern United States during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Their portfolio includes numerous municipal and daily-fee layouts designed to accommodate a range of skill levels while working within the rolling terrain and variable climate typical of the region. The course occupies land characteristic of central Texas, where the Edwards Plateau begins to give way to the Blackland Prairie. This transitional zone often features limestone outcroppings, scattered live oak and mesquite, and modest elevation changes that provide natural movement to the routing. Riviere and Singletary typically incorporated these native features into their designs, allowing the landscape to shape hole corridors and strategic options rather than imposing dramatic earthwork. Stonetree serves both the military community stationed at Fort Hood and civilian golfers in the Killeen area. The club operates as a semi-private facility, offering memberships alongside daily public access. The course provides a straightforward test of golf suited to the region's climate, which brings hot summers and mild winters, making year-round play feasible. Like many Texas courses of its era, Stonetree emphasizes playability and maintenance practices adapted to the local environment.
