STONEBRIDGE GOLF CLUB

The Rees Jones design carves through rolling Carolina piedmont terrain with strategic bunkering that punishes wayward drives but rewards thoughtful course management. Water comes into play on seven holes, including a demanding par-3 16th that plays over a pond to a narrow green guarded by mature hardwoods. What separates this Monroe track from other public options is the conditioning—fairways stay firm through the humid summer months, and the bentgrass greens roll true year-round.
