Stonewolf at Stonewolf Golf Club

Stonewolf, sculpted into the rolling landscape of Fairview Heights, Illinois, is a testament to Arthur Hills's masterful command of the Modern architectural era. Carved from what was once farmland, the course presents golfers with generous fairways that belie the challenges lurking amongst the strategic bunkering and undulating greens. It's a course where a well-struck drive is rewarded, but errant shots will find themselves facing demanding recoveries, particularly on the inward nine where water comes into play with greater frequency.

While Stonewolf has not hosted any major professional championships, it has carved out a strong regional reputation as a challenging and fair test of golf, frequently hosting local amateur events. The clubhouse buzzes with a convivial spirit, a mix of serious golfers and those who simply enjoy the camaraderie of the game.

The membership is known for its unpretentious nature and deep appreciation for the game's traditions. It is a place where you're just as likely to find members debating the merits of Ben Hogan's swing as you are discussing the latest Cardinals game. And while not a culinary landmark, the halfway house grill is known for their hearty Italian beef sandwiches, a staple for those making the turn.
