*PLEASE NOTE THIS REVIEW PERTAINS TO MY EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER PLAYERS & NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS. THE COURSE, FACILITIES, & STAFF ARE FANTASTIC, 5/5* I played a round of golf at Stonewall for the first time last Sunday and was eager to play a new course, however that quickly changed once I stepped up to the first tee. My friend and I were partnered with two other golfers, regulars of the course I presume, and they could not show more disgust with us being there. We tried introducing ourselves and making small talk here and there but these two guys wanted nothing off it. The worst of it being that they would whip their cart around us when driving off the tee boxes, scrapping the side of our cart on multiple occasions. Unfriendly and rude which added to our poor experience. Additionally, on the second hole after teeing off (all in the fairway or right off in the rough) we were greeted by a gentleman who lives off the golf course berating us saying we broke his window and we need to cough up $700-$800 or he’d call the police on us. He hounded us for our contact information, which I refused to give him because I will not be harassed for something I had no involvement with. Apparently, if you hit a wayward shot at Stonewall, you are held liable for any damage incurred, which is completely understandable. However, Stonewall does not make this very well known besides an excerpt found in each golf cart. Other than my partner and I having to experience these circumstances, Stonewall Golf Club is a beautiful course on Lake Manassas that I look forward to playing again. The staff was quick to read my review and offer assistance which is greatly appreciated! Head Golf professional, Mark Kowalski, is a stand up guy. If you are looking for a course to play in the Gainesville area, give Stonewall a look!

TL;DR: wonderfully maintained and beautiful course!INFO:~Range balls are included (they have mats and grass tees depending on the day)~Located in Lake Manassas neighborhood, so some houses along the course~Beautiful scenic views on the water~Clubhouse, starter, and golf carts are attentive and well prepared~They have coolers provided on the golf carts (in the summer, they'll have ice available for you)COURSE:~Wide fairways with some challenging hills/slopes and water hazards~Greens are well maintained~All tee boxes were flat and well indicated and maintained~BATHROOMS available at hole 4 and 10, and after hole 15~Hole #10 has a snack shack (in service more during the summer; has hotdogs, brats, chips, and other snacks)One of my favorite courses in the area for the scenic views and quality of the course!

Short Version: Pick Stonewall as your wedding reception venue, it'll be one of the best decisions you make during wedding planning!!!Long Version: Everything about this venue was perfect! The club is stunningly beautiful, and the event spaces that were available were perfect for the size of our guest list (~160 people). We had the steak and swordfish as our entrees, and honestly I would eat the swordfish daily if I could - it was so good! But the chef was so accommodating with food allergies, diets, and they even brought in authentic Filipino food instead of making it themselves when we asked for that special food to be included in our app choices! The service on the day of was phenomenal, and every guest had wonderful things to say about the staff. Regarding wedding planning, Bethany was an amazing coordinator to work with! We loved the fact that a lot of things were handled in-house by Bethany and her team - we definitely paid for it, but it was absolutely worth it to have her be in charge of things such as table and chair setup, food prep and setup, coordinating with the vendors the day of, etc. She also provided fantastic recommendations for vendors they frequently work with – we used many and were extremely happy with our decision to trust Bethany and her team! Bethany was super responsive and helpful throughout our entire experience. There were a few times when we had miscommunications, as anyone would, but she was 100% professional and understanding and striving to find a solution to the situation no matter what, which we really appreciated. I was never angry or upset with anything she did when representing Stonewall Golf Club. The price to rent the club was expensive without the food and drink costs, but because we had such a large party we were able to get a discount since we required use of both rooms within the club - the ballroom, and the restaurant. The restaurant has an elegant, midwest supper-club vibe to it, which I absolutely loved! We were able to keep the wooden chairs in the room which kept to that theme. And the ballroom was beautiful! Because of our large party Bethany had the DJ set up in the restaurant with the bar, and the dinner was served in the ballroom. Additionally, we had access to the covered patio and the green space up by the clubhouse outside. We were able to put up our giant "VA is for Lovers" Love sign, which was the theme of our reception, and it created a beautiful photo-op next to the patio. Overall, we were able to have the entire event space for 6 hours (we paid for an extra hour so that we could have a private dance after the send-off). Sparklers are allowed outside, which was definitely a plus! The TVs were left on during the entire 6 hours, which I was frustrated to learn about later after our honeymoon, but honestly I didn't notice on the day of. They have a strict no shots policy which I was definitely ok with - we had enough alcohol there since we had an open bar, and when people brought in outside alcohol Bethany and her team handled the situation with professionalism and poise. Also we had access to the back room for the entire day which was amazing! And being able to drop off items the night before AND pick up items the day after was a HUGE plus! Overall, choosing Stonewall was the most cost-effective option we were considering, and we think it's the best wedding venue in the area! Thank you Bethany and the entire team at Stonewall for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

Very fun course. Holes were varied and interesting. Plenty of challenges. Beautiful scenery with a ton of holes next to lake Manassas. I look forward to returning when the trees are in bloom. Will be gorgeous. Update: Returned today in October with the leaves changing. Absolutely gorgeous. Had a blast. It will be an annual tradition to come here in the fall.
David Bear
A Beautiful location, a challenging course in terrific condition, a great value, and a nice pub restaurant for after the round.
Holy “Yum Yummy” Yum
It is a golf course where you can enjoy the wonderful scenery.
Claire Kim
Top notch golf course! This is my favorite one in Va!

Retired, I play an 18-hole round of golf twice a week. My foursome plays at about a dozen different NOVA courses (e.g., Reston, Herndon, Bull Run, etc.) . . . but we all agree that Stonewall is the best! Staff are great. Course and greens are always in excellent condition (compared to the other courses). The course itself is beautiful. Many holes are surrounded by Lake Manassas. Distinctive and challenging holes protected by sand traps.If it wasn't for the 40 min drive to Gainesville, we would play it every week.
Richard Boyd
Golf course in excellent condition overall. Tee boxes well groomed and challenging positions for scoring well. Greens were sanded and aerated which made putting on line for scoring challenging.
Han Yi
Great course for the money. The course is always in good condition.
Stonewall usually is in pretty good condition. Played on Sunday afternoon, pace of play was not bad, which is a relief for NOVA courses. Greens were fast , but full of unrepaired ball marks. Seen the fairways and rough in better shape before.
Robert Adamski
Challenging course through beautiful terrain and magnificent views of Lake Manassas.
Colby Shomaker
This course is awesome. Probably the best public course I have ever played at. Price was fair and the course was in great shape.
Michael Kisner
Great course with a wonderful staff. Played in a charity event last month and the place was in top shape. Challenging but open course.
Joe Pitera
Disappointed this used to be the best course in the area. Greens were ok and course was good. Would have given 3 stars, but there was a rock 3xs the size of a golf ball in 18 trap.
