Stonebridge Golf Club Set To Reopen Soon!

The Stonebridge Golf Club is pleased to announce it has set a target date to re-open around the first of September. The major project which began in June included installing new Champion Bermuda greens with collars, new irrigation and modifying some drainage issues. The club would like to remind all residents who live on or around the course that for safety reason no one is permitted to be on the course at any time unless they are a paid golfing customer. We look forward to generating a lot of excitement about Stonebridge Golf Club and its return to notoriety as the "best Public" course in the Memphis area.
