Course Highlights
Stoneybrook's broad, varied layout consistently earns high marks for its challenge and visual appeal across the course. Exceptionally friendly staff and solid overall conditions make this a well-regarded public access option in Southwest Florida.

Rating 75.6

Stonybrook Golf Club boasts seven sets of tees, making it a truly versatile course that any skill level can play. It has been certified by the National Golf Course Owners Association as being beginner friendly. The layout features wide fairways with generous landing areas leading to large, undulating greens that are bordered by intimidating bunkers and contoured mounding. The golf course is one of the longest in southwest Florida at 7,453 yards from the back tees, making it a long hitter's paradise. The difficult-to-read greens will challenge even the best players. The course wanders through a scenic landscape of pristine wildlife preserves. The sparkling lakes that are scattered throughout come into play, as do the abundant pines, oaks, and cypress trees.

Average at best

For the price I paid, $167, it was an absolute rip off. I get it, I’m in south Florida in their peak season, but this course has no right to be charging that kind of money. The practice facility is lame, the practice green was barely useful with 4 positions.

The layout is very average, there are really no challenging holes. I’ve been golfing in this part of Florida for over 35 years and this is the absolute worst experience I’ve ever had. I really feel like I was snookered! At that price point I would expect a far better experience than what they are delivering.

Shame on Golf Now for buying into this Tom foolery

overpriced.

Course is average to play. Pace was as stated at 4.5 hrs. Condition was ok not great. Greens rolled at about average speed. Practice area was a bit over used. My biggest complaint was the cost. Golf Now had it at $220/player. The pics and rating is not true. This is an average course at best. Worth $100/player.

Decent Public Course

Very busy public course. Pace of play was 4 hours. Back 9 has a better layout than the front. Friendly staff.

Decent Public Course

Very busy public course. The pace of play was good around 4 hours. I was unimpressed with the front 9. The holes weren’t memorable and it wasn’t in the best shape. However, on the back 9 the holes were more interesting, picturesque and required more strategy. The rate with a discount was $120 on Golf Now. After playing the course I felt that was a bit steep, although it’s the high season in this area.

The staff was very friendly. I will be back maybe later in the season when rates are lower.

Stoneybrook—9 holes

Always enjoyed SB , great greens, overall conditions very good , starter was pleasant and got us off before our tee time. Pace was good, being we were a twosome following a 4some who played quick. Finish under 2 hours—not bad!

The staff is rude

I got email from GolfNow telling me to check in on app then go straight to starter, which I did. The starter as extremely rude, he told me I didn’t check in, I told him I checked in on GolfNow and told to go straight to starter. His response was nasty and rude, he said he didn’t care what golf now says. I tried showing him the app saying I checked in, he wasn’t hearing it, just kept saying he didn’t care about golf now. I got the same response from guy in pro shop. Have to check in at the course. They could have been nicer about it.
