Located at 3033 Taunton Rd., Stonehenge Golf Club is a boutique 9-hole course carved out of 100 acres of rolling terrain. The layout takes inspiration from British Highlands links, with sandy soil making it one of the first courses to open in spring and one of the last to close in fall. It plays approximately 3,388 yards from the back tees at par 35, featuring three par-3s, two distinctly different par-5s, and four solid par-4s.
What stands out is how dense and varied the holes are for a 9-hole track. Elevated tees, false-front greens, pot bunkers and native fescue all make appearances. Especially memorable: the 156-yard 5th, a short par-3 surrounded by marsh, pot bunkers and trees; and the opening 573-yard par-5, where a solid drive still leaves an uphill finish to a guarded green. The fairways bend and flow, the bunkers aren’t just decoration—they deliver meaningful decisions. Bent-grass tees, fairways and greens keep conditioning high.
Though modest in length, Stonehenge delivers depth: the layout rewards shot-making over brute distance. It’s approachable for higher handicappers yet gives experienced players subtle places to test creativity and management. The clubhouse includes a full pro shop, practice area and post-round dining patio overlooking the 9th green so the 19th hole feels right.
If you’re near Durham Region and want a round that’s short on time but long on detail, Stonehenge offers a smart, fun day out. Bring your wedge game and your confidence—there’s plenty to reward both.
My buddy Tim called golf “the expensive sport” last summer. He said it while buying his third $14 beer at an NFL game. I let it go – mostly because he was paying for mine too – but the comment stuck with me. Was he right?
I didn’t think so. But I wanted to prove it with actual numbers.
So I dug in. National Golf Foundation reports, concert ticket data, NFL cost analyses, streaming price histories. The full picture. And what came back surprised even me – golf isn’t just holding its own against other entertainment options. In a
