Stoneybrook West Golf Course
About
Designed by Arthur Hills Stoneybrook West is a roaming blend of gutsy, penal holes, picturesque par threes over water, reachable par fives (527 and 522 yards from the tips, then 578 and 605), and several short, sporty par fours that cover all corners of the site. Dramatically rolling fairways salted with Hills' trademark grass-faced bunkers, subtle elevation changes and undulating greens were all artfully carved out of native orange groves, overlooking Black Lake. Water comes into play on 12 holes; you'll find all 18 are distinctly different, challenging and memorable.
For those visiting the Orlando area, particularly the Disney World complex, Stoneybrook West is just a matter of minutes up the road to the north. For those who frequent the Orlando golf circuit, Stoneybrook West is a course that must be seen to be measured against the other name courses.

Golf Advisor: Top 25 Most Improved U.S. Golf Courses (2017 #18)
Reviews
Played this track many times over the years, always a good time, I like the layout. Course is suffering now....rough is hard and grass scarce. However good value, greens are pretty good and maybe with time and money it will be back. Having said all this we will play again this year before we go home. Good value.
Fairways
The fairways were not good. A lot of sand on the fairways. Not bunker. A lot of weeds also. Some greens were good
Improving
Played Sunday. Usually Sundays are always going to be a little slower. This was absurd. 5 hours and 40 minutes. They have no one monitoring the course. Not surenif the started that way but there was at least one group of five people holding everything up. 2 of my playing partners left after 9 holes. Won't go back.
Course layout is strong. Course conditions are improving. Very slow play continues to be a problem. Five hour round. No ranger and multiple fivesomes.
Golf is returning
Good value for a round. Course is still in rough condition but is getting better every week.Can’t wait to return
Getting Better!
I’ve played this course 3 times in the past 3 months and the conditions keep getting better. The greens are always perfect. They were in great condition and rolling fast and true. The fairways were much better than the last time I played and seem to be growing in more. They should be really nice by the rain season. Tee boxes were better too. I don’t care about tee boxes until I get to Par 3s. I had no issues this round. The only negative is the rough. The rough is still REALLY ROUGH. Not sure how they’re going to correct that but I’d imagine that will get better over time as well. I’ve always loved the challenging layout here. Will definitely be back.
Stoneybrook West
Great layout in tough condition. Team is doing a great job bringing it back. However, fairways, rough and areas around the greens still need a lot of work. For the price, there are better courses in the area. I will play it periodically to check on the progress. It use to be one of my go to courses. I am hoping it comes back to its former shape.
Work in progress
Course getting better by the day, finally washrooms supplies are adequate.
Tee boxes are in good condition, greens are perfect! Fairways still have lots of work to bring course back to where it was before it closed!
Eh
I expected more from a course that’s been shut down for a few years. There was a lot of ground under repair and the greens were super slow. $59 on a Wednesday morning is okay. Probably should’ve been around $40-$45. If you’re just looking to get out, relax, and have some fun this is a good place to do it. Just don’t expect nice conditions. You get what you pay for… kinda…
Great Value!
Nice course. Apparently just reopened. Fairways and greens were in very good condition. Very scenic with lots of water features but water doesn't always come into play. Challenging. Good value compared to area which is overpriced. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Returned for 2nd round.
Beth's Burger Bar nearby is a must!
Not great
I’ve played most of the public courses in central Florida and this one was toward the bottom of the list. Greens were absolutely abysmal. Fairways were okay enough and a couple holes were pretty unique in layout but overall just in terrible shape.
Course is improving
The course is definitely playable; the greens are in great shape and run fast. The tee boxes are good and the fairway is playable even though there are some bumpy spots, bare spots and crab grass. It’s a good value for the money and the course has a nice layout.
Great layout
The course is improving since it reopened. Greens were a little hard & fast, but rolled pretty true.
Needs Work but still nice course
My understanding that course just reopened in the Fall of 2023 after several years of being closed. Greens are in great condition and were rolling pretty quick. Fairways do need some attention as there were some bare areas or very thin grass.
Tee boxes were not too bad, pretty level and no issue finding a spot to tee the ball up between the tee markers.
Will play again before heading home to Ontario.
Pace of play
Course was in good shape but unfortunately there was a junior tournament ahead of us. It delayed our start time by at least 30 minutes. We were not able to finish playing because our round was approaching five hours and we only got in fourteen holes.
Great course on a bad day
I’ve been wanting to play this course now for a very long time. Unfortunately I may have picked a bad day. Pace of play was horrendous. There was a tournament in the morning and must have just been overbooked afterward, so it’s all very understandable why. But I started almost an hour late and it was so backed up it took almost 3 hours just to play the front 9 and I ended up not bothering finishing the back. But the course was in awesome shape and was really nice looking. I’d really like to come back on a better day where I can actually play through in a reasonable time.
