    There will never be a range again at Stonebridge. There is no space to put one with the current routing. And even if they did reraoute to create some space they would just add houses.

    Think of it, sell 10 houses at $300k PROFIT each, assuming a small range holds 10 houses, or make a tiny profit every year from driving range revenue. Easy choice.

    I did notice today on the way home, Stonebridge removed all the snow from the greens.... Good sign.......

    I'm surprised at the poll results - thought it would be closer. I like eQuinelle because of the pristine shape they keep it in, but it just feels like a resort course - massive fairways, not a whole lot of imagination to the design. Based purely on layout, I have to give this one to Stonebridge.

    I'm not. EQ is a much more playable course on a day to day basis, especially if you aren't a single digit cap. I love both, but on a bad day, if you aren't hitting it straight, SB can be a tough grind.
    I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

    I hear you Jeff--but would SB force you to become a better driver ?
    Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?

    don't think so. I hit lots of 3 woods on SB as I don't always need to hit driver.

    SB is so much easier than equinelle! I am probably 6 shots better because of the shorter yardage

    IMO course conditions at EQ are better than Stonebridge, and I find EQ easier to play than SB, I would take EQ over SB anyday

    Sb vs eq

    They present different challenges - SB greens have more slope so you need to be on the right side and is tough on windy days since its so open

    I don't think distance matters too much to do well in these courses - placement is more important I think - the greens can get very fast in Eq though - its tough to adjust sometimes

    All in all If I played these 2 courses all the time - I'd be a very happy and good golfer

    Conditions were pretty even last time I played both 2 weeks ago. SB has tougher greens, requires more strategy.

    Played EQ today and agree with Jeff---love both courses--no complaints really except for the guy that sets the pins at SB

    Yes the pins as of late, this week anyway have ben extremely difficult and almost unfair at SB, with them being located on crests etc where you could never drop a ball.

    I am a hacker. At Stonebridge I use all my clubs (and a ball retriever if I had one); at Equinelle, my short irons don't get any action.

    That's my biggest gripe with Stonebridge. Especially to have those pins on a weekend too, just inviting slower play as you 4-wack your way around.

    I would disagree about distance mattering... distance plays a huge roll at equinelle playing from the tips at 7000 yards vs the tips at stonebridge...

    eQuinelle is the "nicer" track IMO
    Always fantastic condition , and it's a Driver off the tee almost every hole (par4 & 5)
    Definitely more forgiving in that respect
    Stonebridge is a more challenging track , comparable conditions most of the time , definitely requires a greater array of shots not quite as straight forward off the tee .
    It's a pleasure to play both tracks any given day !

    I love both of them and I've definitely shot my lower numbers personally at EQ.

    I believe my best is 79 at EQ (blues) and 81 at SB (blues). I play both often from the blues and there is a 600 yard difference between the two. SB from the tips would be a beast.

    I think even from the tips it's only 6400 yards, blues are 5900 I think.

    Personally I love them both--it is the old adage "you get what you pay for" No slow play this year---GREEN grass--easy walking and friendly staff Playing them both alternately keeps you on your toes
    Does the 2nd hole-n-one come easier ?

    If you think SB from the tips would be a beast, what is EQ from the tips? haha...

    I don't think there is a course in better shape than EQ this year, that's for sure!

    Equinelle easily

    There is no driving range at Stonebridge, sorry hitting off mats into a nets provides no feedback on what you have that day, but they have a good short game area...

    Comparing total yardage between two courses is only valid if the par is the same. SB is par 71 while eQ is 72. Changing a 175 yard par 3 at SB into a 400 yard par 4, would make an effective playing length of 6625 at par 72.

    Played EQ from the tips last week, its 7-7100 but plays shorter with all the dog legs if you have decent carry from the tee. Long holes play very long and short seem to play really short. Conditioning is perfect. Golf boards give it the edge.

    there's really only 3. 1, 15, 17. About the same as SB - 8, (9 you can cut the corner over the bunkers), 16.

    I'd like to see the results of a different poll...
    Which course is tougher? Stonebridge or eQuinelle

    I wonder if some people say they prefer one course over another because it is easier.
