Stoney Creek Golf Course

Venue Overview

Stoney Creek Golf Course is a privately owned, public 9-hole executive course tucked into a quiet valley in Arvada, Colorado. Set among mature trees, natural creek features, and a babbling brook — with mountain views framing every round — Stoney Creek delivers a country golf experience that feels worlds away from the Denver metro while remaining easy to reach. The course sits in a natural valley that eliminates road noise entirely, creating a peaceful, unhurried atmosphere that keeps players coming back. Consistently praised for its friendly staff, exceptional value, and well-maintained conditions, Stoney Creek has earned a loyal following as one of the Denver area's best-kept golfing secrets.

About the Course

Stoney Creek plays as a 9-hole executive layout with a mix of par-3 and par-4 holes — making it more strategically varied than a traditional par-3 short course. Designed by Tim Root and Larry Root and opened in 1998, the course rewards accuracy and short-game precision while remaining accessible to players of all levels. A typical round takes approximately 1.5 hours, making it ideal for a quick nine or back-to-back eighteen.

• 9 holes, par-30 executive layout
• 3 par-4s and 6 par-3s

The Playing Experience

Stoney Creek's appeal is its setting as much as its layout. Tucked into a small valley, the course is free of road noise and surrounded by mature trees, water, and mountain views — with no neighboring houses to crowd the play. The executive layout's mix of par-3s and par-4s makes it a genuine short-game test that's quick to play and welcoming to every skill level, which is why it's a local favorite for practice rounds, casual play, and relaxed group outings alike.

Golf Lessons & Instruction

As of 2026, Stoney Creek is home to instructor Ron Lohman, who has been teaching at the course for more than 18 years. Ron learned his craft from PGA professional Larry Root — a teaching pro for over 50 years — and carries forward Larry's philosophy of working with each student's natural ability and any physical limitations, adjusting the swing a little at a time rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all method. He uses video analysis in every lesson, so students see their swing frame by frame and gain confidence they're working on the right improvements.

Ron offers structured private lesson packages for players of all ages and skill levels, from a single tune-up to multi-lesson series:

• Tune-Up — a single one-hour lesson to sharpen a specific part of your game
• Mini-Series — three one-hour lessons to improve a couple of areas
• Full-Series — six one-hour lessons for deeper, more comprehensive work
• Pro-Series — ten one-hour lessons covering all aspects of your game

Lessons can also be taken as a small group, with up to two additional students per session. To schedule a lesson or get current package pricing, contact Ron directly at (303) 520-8501 or ron.lohman@yahoo.com.
