Stone Creek Golf Course

Stone Creek is about 10 minutes south of Carbondale in the Shawnee National Forest, right on US 51. The course was built around a scattered housing development, but the homesites don't really impact play. It was designed by Jerry Lemons, plays to 6,875 from the black tees, 140 slope, down to 5,402 yards, 120 slope. This is a very beautiful course and setting, one of the best you can play in the area, Isolated and different holes, varied terrain, a lot of water and sand, and some of the best greens around. It's a challenging course, maybe not for the higher handicapper or beginner, and has some great holes in a nice setting.
