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.

What You Need to Know:

The 19th hole Bar and Grill is a favorite among locals and visitors alike. They serve breakfast and lunch every day. The full menu is available on their website.
Playing Hints:
The first hole is a great warmup before you get to the water challenge on hole two. Most players shouldn’t have a problem powering past this hazard at the tee, but it’s recommended to use your long wood for the best results.
The same hazard crosses hole three, so keep this mind while teeing off. Hole number six is a complicated mix up of bunkers and slopes, so use caution while approaching the green. You may want to risk par-ing this hole instead of getting stuck in the bunkers.
The eleventh hole features two tricky water hazards. Your best bet is to try to land between the two and then use a long iron to get to the green. Otherwise, it may be too complicated to try to get over one and not the other.
The fifteenth hole also offers a great challenge with plenty of bunkers ringing the green. Use caution and try your nine iron or a pitching wedge for the best results. A water hazard runs along side the seventeenth hole, but it is not too difficult. Although eighteen looks deceptively easy, the dogleg can throw off even the best players.
