Stoneham Golf Club?

A group of us are playing Stoneham this coming Friday as part of my stag golfing weekend. Has any body any thoughts on Stoneham?

Sam:

I think you will love the course.  I was very impressed by the routing when I walked it last fall.

You really can't go wrong with a Wille Park design. Although it's been 25 years since I played it, it was the golfing highlight of my 6 months in Southampton.

Superb course which has been through the usual ups and downs of mismanagement but is currently getting back to where it should be.

It can get a little wet at times so I hope the rain stays away for your visit.

Welcome to GCA Sam and best wishes for the nuptials.

The search facility on here is u/s but using

http://golfclubatlas.com/best-of-golf/gca-fusion-tables/

(look under Best of Golf)
I found

http://golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,30823.msg597466/#msg597466

I know there’s been another thread because I posted some pics of the wonderful short par 4 No 13.


Put me down as another fan.

Whoever chose Stoneham should be on this DG!

You have to be sober to post photos!   It's a tricky business.

I should hopefully be sober for Stoneham as its our first round!!! I looked at some of the pics on here and some of the pics/holes reminded me of one of my all time favourite courses, The Addington. Would this be a correct assumption?

...when I think about it that's possibly the best comparison I could have come up with.
