Bentgrass

Practice Area:

Driving range with grass tees, putting green, chipping green, practice bunker. This is one of the better practice complexes in the area and frequently offers 1 day clinics including full swing and short game ones taught by PGA Master Professional Nick Jacobi and Fred Bond. I can personally vouch for both!

Description

This course was built in 1997 by Richard Osboune and is located in Monroe, NC, but far from any main roads/highways. You'll need good directions to get here the first time. The course features a straightforward layout with relatively flat Bent grass greens. The difficulty comes with water hazards in play on a majority of the holes. The par 5 10th hole is bisected by a small ravine that is crossed by a replica of the St. Andrews Swilcan Bridge, thus giving the course its Stonebridge name.

Notes

Memberships are available and the community includes an impressive tennis center. PGA Master Instructor Nick Jacobi (formerly at Monroe CC) took over as the General Manager in 2020.

B-Man's Take

I try to play this course when I can. It's one of my favorites. Greens are kept in good shape, though the Bentgrass can sometimes suffer from heat and unrepaired ball marks in the late summer. The course is a fun layout, rewarding long, accurate hitters with several chances at eagle – I scored my first career eagle here on the par 5 9th hole (when it was the 18th hole). All of the par 5's are reachable in 2 shots except maybe the 10th hole, which has a ravine bisecting the fairway (check out the "stone bridge" after you hit your second shot). What can get you here at Stonebridge are the hazards -- 13 of the 18 holes and every hole on the front 9 has one in play! The closing front nine stretch is one of the best in Charlotte. The 5th, 6th and 7th holes circle the same pond bringing it strategically into play on all 3. The par 3 8th requires a long carry over another pond and the par 5 9th is reachable in 2 if you challenge the pond guarding the front right of the green. Speaking of the greens, that's where you get a break because they are almost all flat and fairly straightforward. This is one of the better all around golf clubs in town with its large practice complex and event hosting facilities to go with a great layout.

  "Great course"

  Fairways are in really good shape. Greens are good. There are a lot of old ball divots that weren't repaired on most of the greens. Luckily the grounds superintendent does a good job of placing the holes that aren't too affected by the divots.

  "Great course"

  I'm playing in a weekly 9-hole Twilight Golf League here at Stonebridge. So far, we've played the front 9 each week. It's my favorite of the two nines, so I've enjoyed it so far. The course is in very good shape as they ramp up to the summer season. Greens are all rolling well, just at medium speed right now. I've seen them faster here in the cooler months. This will likely be the regular speed as the temps rise. Tee boxes, fairways and bunkers are all in very good shape. There are plenty of houses now around the course where it used to be peaceful and tree-lined. So the aesthetic is a bit more typical of a residential course now, similar to Carolina Lakes or The Divide. As I always say, I love the front 9 stretch from Hole No. 5 to No. 9 as it winds around a big pond and then has two smaller ones protecting the 8th and 9th greens. I just wish these were still the closing 5 holes. They have done quite a bit of clearing on the right side of the dogleg right par 4 No. 4. This used to be thick with trees and bushes and pretty much a lost ball if you failed to cut the corner going for the green. Now, you might have a window to punch out from a hardpan, rocky lie amongst the trees. Overall, Stonebridge is a very good public course with one of the best practice areas and teaching staffs of any local course. It's a little ways out there towards Monroe but fairly easy to get to. And hopefully soon, we'll get to play the back 9 on league night!

  "Great course"

  Enjoyed my round of golf on 7/17/2024. Course condition was fantastic. The staff was warm and welcoming. My only minor complaint was the amount of ball marks on the greens. The greens would be perfect if everyone repaired their pitch marks. I look forward to playing again soon.

  "Great course"

  Teed off around 12:40pm but didn't finish until 5:20pm. We had a few slow groups in front of us with no ranger on the course. I don't understand why you have a starter but no on-course marshal to control pace of play. That was really my only issue. The course was in fine shape, with the greens being very good. I would say they were as fast as they get, but someone else told me they were even faster the week before. So this is a good time of year to play Stonebridge. The greens are in their best condition of the year. I played with a guy who gives lessons here and so I got a very good rate. I highly recommend playing with someone who works at the course (ha). Flipping the nines (it's been over a year now) still bums me out because 17 and 18 now are kinda "blah" par 4's to finish your round. I still love what is now the front 9, especially the finishing stretch of 5-9. Though the par 3 8th still gives me fits. That green is smaller than you think so there's no point in playing to the front or back pins. Just hit a club that will put you in the middle of the green. I wish I could take my own advice more often. Speaking of the par 3's, I absolutely tanked them all on this day. Two doubles, two bogeys, +6 for those 4 holes. Yikes. This is a course I enjoy playing, especially the familiarity I have with the layout. It's just gotten a little pricey for public golf.
