BLUE SPRINGS , MO — Stone Canyon Golf Club opened for play in 2009 as the only Greg Norman Signature Design Course in the Midwest . It quickly received accolades from national golf magazines .
New ownership took over the course during 2015 with long-term plans taking the course and area residential development well into 2036 . At the time , new owner Kevin Stallings , the residential builder of the surrounding property , said , “ I want Stone Canyon Golf Club to be known as the # 1 Kansas City area destination for golf enthusiasts !”
Since that time , Stallings implemented numerous upgrades to the course and its level of services . The Bentgrass tees , fairways , and greens are typically in pristine condition making for excellent playing surfaces year-round . Plus , weather permitting , unlike Zoysia fairways , carts are allowed on the Bentgrass fairways throughout the winter months . More upgrades are planned for the 2025 season .
