Razorbacks like Stony, Jul 27, 2011 |
| reviewer: Larry D.Waters
from Conway, AR |
| I played this course from '88 thru '98 when I first took up golf. Was a good test for someone hitting the ball 220 - 250 yds. Forces you to hit a variety long, short, side hill etc.. ofshots. |

 Unfriendly, Jun 20, 2011 |
| reviewer: Gary
from Suffern, NY |
| The course does not let a single golfer make a tee time. Why?? They tell me to come to the course on Sunday morning and wait. 3 threesomes go out and I ask the starter why I can't go out with them and he says they are regulars and don't like someone they don't know. Crazy huh? No money for you!!! |

Slow play killer, May 05, 2009 |
| reviewer: herb
from new windsor |
| For a public course, it is well laid out and reasonably well-maintained. But it is often crowded, even on weekdays, and the pace can be deadening. Why don't they post on their WEBSITE when outings are being held? They have tons of them and I guess it pays to call ahead to see if they're open to the public. |

Decent Public Course, Aug 09, 2008 |
| reviewer: Bob
from Chester, NY |
| Stony Ford golf course is a typical public course. It does have some nice views from the clubhouse. It is well maintained and has a few challenging holes. The low handicapper will not be overly challenged even from the back tees, but the average golfer will be more than adequately challenged. If you are a 10+ handicap you will enjoy the course. |

Bad Rap, Aug 31, 2007 |
| reviewer: John Salvaggio
from Newburgh,New York |
| For a county course with its high volume of play, this course gets a bad rap for slow play and poor management.It has been my experience the responsibility for slow play rests mainly with the players. Its not that they play slowly. Many simply have little or no idea how to move around the course efficiently.The "provisional ball" rule is rarely used. As a result, more time is spent looking for balls than playing golf by the rules. Stony Ford offers some of the most scenic views and challenges in the area. Hole 15,the signature hole, is just one example. A real challenge would be to find another 18 hole course in the area that is better maintained,managed, and is as challenging and affordable as Stony Ford. |

| Not very well managed. Front nine was open and everyone had to tee off on the 10th. Where are the rangers, play is very slow. |
