Course History:
This great little executive course was designed by Fred Bliss. It's a par 31 that stretches out nicely giving you just enough room without being too daunting. This is a great course if you just want a quick round of golf.
What You Need to Know:
You can book your tee time by calling the pro shop. We recommend a few days ahead of time since this is a popular course. You'll want to wear standard golf attire, but the course isn't terribly stuffy about that. What this course is really known for are its practice facilities which are simply incredible.
They offer a swing recorder and the 52 stall driving range is fantastic. There is a reason that this facility is ranked in the top 100. They are currently adding new turf to the range and the expected renovations should be completed shortly. In addition to the range there is also a short game practice center.
The pro shop is very well stocked and offers plenty of gift ideas for every golfer. They offer custom fitting for clubs as well as the ability to order any line of clubs that you may be looking for. Hands down, this is definitely one of the best nine hole courses in the entire area and the staff is incredibly friendly. We highly recommend this course.
Playing Hints:
The first hole is very straightforward, if a bit long. You'll really want to give this a hard shot off the tee if you want to birdie it. There is a slight slope to the green on this hole so putt with care.
The second hole looks easy at first, but watch out for the rough right off the tee. One bad swing and you can really ruin your score. By the time you get to the green you'll want to keep an eye on the bunkers to the right. The third hole is even tougher with more rough to contend with. Give this one a very hard shot off the tee to clear the rough spots.
The fourth hole offers a great water hazard in front of the green. We recommend a nine iron for your second shot to make it to the green. The fifth hole can be described as hop scotch. You'll have to make it across to the island fairways, cross a creek and then get across even more rough to reach the green. It can be done in two shots with the right strategy.
The problem repeats itself on the eighth hole where nothing but rough separates you from the green. Aim to the right to get to the first island fairway and then really give it a good shot to get on the green from there.

Stone Tree Golf Club is located in: Novato, CA
Phone: 415-209-6435
Website: http://www.stonetreegolf.com
Course History:
Stone Tree Golf Club was opened in 2000 and was designed by Johnny Miller, Sandy Tatum, Jim Summers and Fredrick C. Bliss, ASGCA. The Par 72 course stretches out over more than 6800 yards and has a rating of 72.7. The slope rating is 137 on rye grass. The scenery around the course is absolutely breathtaking and this is considered to be one of the best courses in Northern California.
What You Need to Know:
Please note that this course does have a dress code. They ask that players wear collared shirts and if shorts must be worn, they must reach the knee. No denim or cutoffs are allowed on the course. In addition, this is a soft spike only course, please remove metal spikes before you arrive.
Pace of play is observed with 15 minutes allotted per hole. In addition, no offsite beverages or food may be brought onto the course. The on site Black Pointe bar and grill is open every day for breakfast through dinner and the pro shop has all the latest gear and apparel.
Playing Hints:
The first hole is very straightforward and is a great warm up for what is to come. By the time you get to the first par five at hole six, you'll be ready for the challenge of water hazards and bunkers that are waiting to mess up your game. Try to keep to the center of the fairway as much as you can to get the best score on this hole.
Hole eleven features not only a dogleg but also water hazards and bunkers that can really trip you up. Your best bet is to play it long on the first shot and then use your iron to get a better approach shot once you get to the water hazard.
The fourteenth hole is pretty easy until you get to the green. Aim carefully, as it is quite common to overshoot this one and get trapped in the really nasty rough.
The eighteenth hole has a creek, another water hazard and a bunker, as well as a great dogleg, making it a tough hole to finish with. However, with practice you can birdie this hole, provided you use the right combination of clubs and careful aim.
