STONEBROOKE GOLF CLUB

The rolling prairie terrain southwest of the Twin Cities serves up a deceptively challenging test where water comes into play on thirteen holes, including the signature par-3 16th that demands a precise carry over a meandering creek to a peninsula green. Designer Jon Fought carved dramatic elevation changes from seemingly flat farmland, creating amphitheater-like holes where wayward shots tumble into collection areas that punish the undisciplined. What separates this daily-fee gem from countless prairie layouts is its commitment to firm, fast conditions that reward ground game strategy over pure aerial assault.
