The Club at Stoney Creek

The Club at Stoney Creek sits in Whitsett, a small community in the Piedmont region of North Carolina between Greensboro and Burlington. Tom Jackson designed the course, which occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the area's transitional landscape between the coastal plain and the Appalachian foothills. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and wooded corridors that define individual holes while creating a sense of seclusion from neighboring fairways. The layout incorporates water features and strategic bunkering that require golfers to consider risk-reward decisions on approach shots and around the greens. Piedmont courses typically feature clay-based soils and hardwood forests of oak, hickory, and pine, which frame the playing corridors at Stoney Creek. The design reflects Jackson's approach to working with existing topography rather than imposing dramatic earthwork, resulting in a course that feels integrated into its natural setting. The Club at Stoney Creek operates as a private facility serving the northern Guilford County area. The course provides a home venue for members seeking a traditional club experience in a region with several established golf communities. Conditioning and playability vary with the seasonal patterns typical of North Carolina's Piedmont climate, where warm-season grasses dominate fairways and bermudagrass is standard on greens at many facilities in this elevation range.
