Course History:

This gorgeous course was designed by Johnny Miller and since it opened, quickly became a favorite among locals and visitors. It is challenging enough for most professionals to enjoy a round while not being intimidating for novice players. It’s the perfect course for a quick getaway in the scenic Napa region.

What You Need to Know:

There is a dress code on this course. They ask that you wear collared shirts and slacks. Please keep in mind that denim, cutoffs and tank tops are strictly forbidden. It’s a good idea to change out your spikes if they are metal just in case. The course does not specifically state this, but most in this area do adhere to a soft spike policy.

The Pro Shop is incredibly well stocked and offers all of the latest gear and apparel. It’s the perfect place to pick up a few gifts for others and yourself. The grill at the clubhouse serves lunch daily. There is also a bar for those who like to really relax after a tough round.

Numerous tournaments and special events are held at the club every year. It’s always a good idea to call ahead to book your tee time, but the course does not have an online tee time registration service at this time. This is a pretty popular course, so it’s a good idea to reserve your time by about two weeks in advance.

Playing Hints:

There are numerous water hazards on the course, so you’ll want to watch for drift on several holes. You’ll also be dealing with some dog legs and some narrow fairways, so accuracy is definitely a plus on this course. The rough areas are well designed and can be quite challenging if you end up there.

The sixth hole presents a great challenge since you’ll be driving across a lake to hit the green on this short par three. You’ll want to really give this one a good hit off the tee to avoid the lake. However, don’t overpower it too much or you’ll end up overshooting the mark. This hole takes quite a bit of practice to master.

The ninth hole also has a smaller water hazard right off the tee, but this shouldn’t affect most players too much. The eighteen hole is a bit challenging but with practice, this is a great hole to birdie to salvage the damage done by the other holes on the course. All in all, this is a very fun course to play that will take some time to get used to, but it’s well worth the trip.

Course History:

Stone Tree Golf Club was opened in 2000 and was designed by Johnny Miller, Sandy Tatum, Jim Summers and Fredrick C. Bliss, ASGCA. The Par 72 course stretches out over more than 6800 yards and has a rating of 72.7. The slope rating is 137 on rye grass. The scenery around the course is absolutely breathtaking and this is considered to be one of the best courses in Northern California.

What You Need to Know:

Please note that this course does have a dress code. They ask that players wear collared shirts and if shorts must be worn, they must reach the knee. No denim or cutoffs are allowed on the course. In addition, this is a soft spike only course, please remove metal spikes before you arrive.

Pace of play is observed with 15 minutes allotted per hole. In addition, no offsite beverages or food may be brought onto the course. The on site Black Pointe bar and grill is open every day for breakfast through dinner and the pro shop has all the latest gear and apparel.

Playing Hints:

The first hole is very straightforward and is a great warm up for what is to come. By the time you get to the first par five at hole six, you’ll be ready for the challenge of water hazards and bunkers that are waiting to mess up your game. Try to keep to the center of the fairway as much as you can to get the best score on this hole.

Hole eleven features not only a dogleg but also water hazards and bunkers that can really trip you up. Your best bet is to play it long on the first shot and then use your iron to get a better approach shot once you get to the water hazard.

The fourteenth hole is pretty easy until you get to the green. Aim carefully, as it is quite common to overshoot this one and get trapped in the really nasty rough.

The eighteenth hole has a creek, another water hazard and a bunker, as well as a great dogleg, making it a tough hole to finish with. However, with practice you can birdie this hole, provided you use the right combination of clubs and careful aim.
