The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
Architecture-minded golfers regard Stone Eagle as a Tom Doak gem perched on a rugged red-rock plateau above the valley, with wide forgiving fairways but massive, diabolical greens that are the course’s real defense. A must-play for Doak fans, prized for its dramatic setting and bold green complexes, even if some find the holes blur together.
Consistently praised
- A stunning rocky, mountainous high-desert setting unlike the valley’s manicured oasis courses.
- Wild, undulating Doak green complexes that reward creative recovery and shot-making.
Worth knowing
- Greens are punishing; three- and four-putts come easily if you miss the right section.
Golfers recommend
- Hit it to the correct portion of the green; position matters far more than getting on.
- Go in to appreciate the architecture and setting, not to post a low score.
