Stoney Creek Golf Course is a 27-hole Rees Jones-designed layout located about 15 minutes from the main resort. The layouts incorporate the native habitat and natural springs, and flow naturally with the lay of the land. Each course has generous landing areas, large, undulating greens, and a few forced carries. Unlike Devils Knob, Stoney Creek will have you hitting every club in your bag.
If you want to “ease in” to the golf course, start on Shamokin. Because of its location in the valley, Shamokin is relatively flat, which appeals to more golfers, yet it offers enough challenge to get a seasoned player’s attention. There are very few uphill, downhill, or sidehill lies. The course winds through hardwood forests and alongside meandering streams, with each hole presenting a different view of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The par-3, 7th hole is Shamokin’s signature hole. Although the scorecard puts the yardage at 180 from the White tees, the hole plays considerably shorter due to the dramatic 150-foot drop from tee to green. The tee shot is exhilarating with the Blue Ridge Mountains as the backdrop.
The Monocan nine is the shortest of the three nine-hole layouts at Stoney Creek. The holes wind through pristine wetlands, hardwood forests, and along meandering streams, often offering breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. As you would expect from a course in the valley, most holes are relatively flat, with few elevation changes. But what the course lacks in elevation change, it makes up for in water hazards in the form of creeks and lakes/ponds. When you combine the peaceful Rockfish Valley with the sound of natural flowing water and woodland birds, you can forget about those bad shots.
The par-3, 5th hole is the layout’s signature hole. It’s dubbed the “Paw Print” green and gets its name from the four pot bunkers that surround the green and look like a paw print. It’s challenging, too. Playing 148 yards from the White tees, it’s all carry over Lake Monocan to the small green.
The Tuckahoe Nine is pure mountain golf. Water comes into play on four holes, and the hilly terrain comes into play on nearly every hole. The surrounding landscape alternates between gentle meadows and bold, wooded slopes. Dramatic elevation changes require that you pay attention to your footing and stance, especially on uneven lies. If that doesn’t get you, the undulating greens might. No putt is truly a “gimmee!” Jones’ signature mounding serves as a buffer, preventing balls from running too far afield, while simultaneously creating risk-reward opportunities for those willing to attack the pin.
It's important to get off to a good start at Tuckahoe, which may prove challenging as the 1st hole is a 429-yard, par 4. The hill on the left side tends to guide somewhat errant tee shots back towards the fairway, but if your drive drifts too far right, it’s in the lake. A good drive still left me a long iron into the raised, sloping green that is protected by bunkers on either side.
No matter how good or bad you played, take a step back and take in your surroundings. Breathe that fresh mountain air and get ready to do it all again tomorrow.
Not sure what's going on with this course, it has been a long time favorite for 35 years.
Lots of large dead patches on greens, grabgrass and weeds everywhere. Uncut tee boxes. Fairway grass in poor condition. Definitely not worth what I paid.
I have been to Stoney creek many times to play! It has always been 1 of my favirite coarses until this year. The rough is out of control and the green have many dead spots and roll horrible. The grass was so tall on some of the tee boxes, we had to use other ones. Not sure what has happened here but I hope they can get it together and redtore it to the coarse I loved! Only reason it gets 2 stars is for what it used to be! If I was a member, I would be MAD!!!!
Course was in great condition
We had a fun time, but it was not a $109.00 round..
Very disappointed with the condition of all three courses. Tees and greens were poorly maintained. Lots of dead cut grass in and around the fairways. Certainly not worth the charged fees.
It was very beautiful coures and well managed seriously. You must visit this course if you want to play golf in VA
Stoney Creek Golf Club, part of Wintergreen Resort, is a true gem nestled in the heart of Nellysford, VA. Designed by Rees Jones, the course offers a scenic, challenging layout with three unique nines—Monocan, Tuckahoe, and Shamokin—that wind through the stunning foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The fairways are always in great shape, and the views alone are worth the visit.
As someone who grew up spending summers at Wintergreen taking golf, tennis, and swimming lessons, it’s incredibly rewarding to see that same vibrant spirit still alive and well today. The club continues to be a hub for families and players of all ages, with that same welcoming energy that made it special years ago.
The pro shop is excellent—well-stocked with top-tier gear and apparel from brands like TravisMathew, FootJoy, Callaway, and Cleveland. Whether you’re grabbing a new polo, upgrading your clubs, or just browsing, the helpful staff makes the experience even better.
From the well-maintained course and quality facilities to the nostalgic charm and community feel, Stoney Creek Golf Club offers an outstanding golf experience that honors the legacy of Wintergreen Resort while continuing to grow and thrive.
A very fair and fun layout for any level of golfer. I played the Shamokin and Tuckahoe nines and enjoyed the variety of holes. Conditions were awesome, save for the dewy AM greens. I would certainly play it again if I find myself in the area.
My buddies and I had our annual tournament here the first weekend of May. Unfortunately, when driving my cart to the cart shack, I mistakenly left my BlueTees Range finder magnetized to the frame. When dropping it off, the two high school
Cart boys were there to take my cart and thank me for bringing it over. Once leaving the course, I realized I had left my range finder and contacted the pro shop for help. The young lady who answered the phone did not seem eager to help and said no range finder was found (which is impossible because the boys took my cart when I drove it over). I am pretty disappointed, as I am 100% sure those high school Boys pocketed my range finder and denied finding it. Although I know it was my fault for leaving it, I would think employees at a resort style course would have a little more class and be honest with what they found. Players beware that if you mistakenly leave something of value behind - they will take it and not give it back.

Beautiful, fantastic, awesome course. Will definitely return.
Kept up and good layout. Paid for 18 and course was so backed up it took 3 hours for the front 9, went in at the turn to try for a refund for the back nine cause its not a fun time waiting behind the group in front of us for 6 hours. Only offered a rain check which is useless when your only in town for the weekend. Not worth $109 for 18 if its going to take you over 6 hours.
It's quite a beautiful place!
Stoney Creek at Wintergreen is one of the best publicity accessible golf courses in the Piedmont region of Central Virginia. The course features spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and is in excellent shape from tee to green. I played all 27 holes and the staff were friendly and pleasant and made sure my round was going smoothly. This is a must play course in the area and isn’t too difficult.
Have been twice now. Beautiful course. Used VSGA card for a really great deal to play on such a nice course. Go early. Driving range is included at no extra.
