One round of the Stonebridge championship will give the player a feeling that this is a special place. Golf course architect Richard B. Osborne is known for his ability to work hand-in-hand with Mother Nature and he has done so stunningly at Stonebridge. Rather than having to shoehorn a golf course into a residential development, his mission was to begin with over 650 untouched acres and find the golf course that was already there. The difference in approach is amazing. Evidence of Mr. Osborne's naturalist style can also be seen in the naturally beautiful courses of Cypress Lakes in Australia, Cheval Polo & Golf Club in Flordia, and Nevel Meade in Kentucky.
