Description
Three friends are invited to join Stonewall member and International House Board member, Tom Saporito for a round of golf. The facilities at Stonewall include two eighteen hole championship golf courses, each with driving ranges, two golf houses with overnight accommodations, a golf shop and restaurant facilities. The golf courses, both designed by Tom Doak and his company Renaissance Golf, compliment each other in a way whereby each offers a different approach to the game. The Old Course, with more demanding shot values on driving accuracy and distance, compliments the North Course, which requires a more exacting short game. The Old Course is a walking only golf course while the North Course, encouraging the use of caddies, allows golf carts. Stonewall's Old Course has been ranked as low as 60 in Golf Magazine's top one hundred golf courses in the United States, while the North Course was recently voted one of the top ten best new courses in the country by "The Golfer" magazine. Both have been widely accepted by both local and national golf communities. The Old Course has hosted a number of prestigious events since its opening in July 1993 including the Pennsylvania Open, the Philadelphia Amateur and the Philadelphia Open. The North Course, opened August 2003, has hosted the Mary Farnum Cup for the WGAP and the Jack Connelly Invitational in 2005. A truly unique golfing experience set among a very private collection of rolling hills and farmlands, with breathtaking vistas of the surrounding area, Stonewall stands among the most prestigious golf venues in the entire region.
