Stanley g.c.

The geese droppings are so bad. They don’t pick it up. Also they leave the red open this late in the year to just 18holers. I arrived as a single with no one crossing and was not allowed to play the red. I wanted to play holes that weren’t covered with geese droppings. This was my favorite course for over 45 years. No longer, my league and family will pick another course.

Great Course

Always fun to play there. Sometimes not fun when we get paired up with another player or two..slows down pace of play. But today actually worked out with the one person we were teamed up with…that was fun.

Course was in great shape

Had a blast playing but wasn’t too happy about being paired up with 2 walking people. They were pleasant but it extended our play a good hour at least. We just wanted to get in a quick 9.

Great layout

This course never disappoints, friendly staff great conditions. Nobody behind us most of the day, that really helped my daughter as she wasn't feeling rushed to hit her next shot. Tee boxes and greens were well kept. Will play again.

Beverage Cart/snacks

We had a great day, beautiful course, needed the beverage cart much sooner than the 13 hole.... - we popped in to the bar to get a snack and drink at the turn- it was very hot that day! Limited " quick " snack options. No time to wait to order something as you are on the turn... Other than this- great round and course!
