Stoneybrook East Golf Course

Tee time 10:10 a.m. on a Sunday, $45 per person. The first red flag should have been how empty it was on such a nice morning. We played a 4-person scramble. I feel I could have made a better fairway in my backyard while doing the bare minimum for maintenance. The greens were also abysmal with dead patches everywhere. We still played on and made the best of it. Unfortunately, we ended up getting rained out on hole 16. As we returned to the clubhouse, it was a torrential downpour. I cut through the parking lot in the cart so I could put my clubs in the car in an attempt to keep everything from getting soaked. I had my girlfriend bring the cart to the covered area in front of the entrance to the clubhouse while I met her with the car. This is where she was verbally accosted by “the wife of the manager” because we had the cart in the parking lot. I understand they have a rule about carts in the lot, but considering the circumstances with the rain and how we were one of 6 cars in the lot, I figured they’d be understanding. So if you enjoy paying high prices for a sub-par course and being treated like dog water by the management’s family, then this is the course for you! If you, like most sane golfers, don’t want to deal with that and get the most of your money, then I’d highly recommend going to just about any other course in central Florida. If I could give half a star, I would. Will not be returning!

I have to say this time was much better than a month ago.the greens are a bit patchy but for my level of play, I don’t mind it. I can see this being an issue for a more skilled player. Overall, it was a good one, price was fair, the pace was good and the conditions were good too. No complaints.

Many Thanks to Mike and the entire crew at Stony brook for all they do to make Stonybrook such a great place to get outdoors and play some golf.

Great time as always. Paired up with another team and had a great time!

Let me start with the positives. For the rate I paid, it was a great deal. The course is challenging and there are quite a few difficult holes. The pro shop has alot of good deals and the facility is in excellent shape. The driving range is fun as you are hitting into the water (I feel bad for the person having to retrieve them).

Things I didn’t like: you cannot take the cart to your car to pick up your clubs. That is the first time I have ever had to deal with that. The greens were in rough shape on several holes. Also there are several holes where you drive for a while before you get to the next hole. On a hot day, that was not the most fun. There was no drink cart on the course. Bring lots to drink out on the course.

I will definitely go back to this course. Knowing what I know now, I will be better prepared.

The course is in bad shape, some greens are terrible.

I hope they can improve the conditions of this course as I love playing here, last time I played it was last March and was in much better shape.

Had a great time during our recent 7 AM tee time. The course was nice, but had a few greens that need a little work. It would be nice to have a cart girl because it was hot as the morning went on. Overall, we had a great time.

I like the layout. Fairways were nice and a little tight for me but I like the challenge. Tees and greens were in really bad shape. Got stuck behind three guys playing slow and two guys playing a speed round.

No ranger to help with the speed of play. Overall I liked it and would play again, but there’s room for improvement.

I typically like Stoneybrook East, but this weekend was not the case. The back 9 was closed and I had no idea when I booked it, so we had to play the front 9 twice. The greens on the front 9 were not in very good shape. Lots of sand all over the greens and it was recently aerated. I won’t be back for awhile until they can turn things around.

In 20+ years of playing I have never seen greens in worse condition. Sand everywhere on the greens, a million different grass types I fairway/rough, completely soaked/wet fairways, tee boxers sandy and weedy on every hole. Back 9 is “closed for repairs”, no water coolers on the course, no cart girl. Honestly as bad a course experience as there is in Orlando/Central FL at the moment or really they I have ever seen here. Obviously it’s fairly inexpensive, not nearly enough to play it and they are trying to get comparable rates to other similar courses in overall better shape. Honestly a total mess out there in more ways than one.

It’s close and convenient and pace of play is great (cause no one’s there playing) the driving range is practically a dirt patch that you hit into water. The back 9 is closed cause they are doing a bunch of work on it. The staff are friendly and do their best to help because they understand the conditions of the course. If you’re just trying to get a quick 9 or 18 (front 9 twice) then it’s really convenient. Highlight is the carts are at least brand new

Only the front 9 was available and it also was being worked on. Love this course however a reduced rate should have been offered for the reduced venue,

Greens are in bad shape

Back 9 was closed for repair

Course was nice. Back 9 is currently be worked on so we played the front 9 twice and the it was a good.
