About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7101 yards
Slope 135
Rating 74.8

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.

Greens good/ Fairways need some work

GolfNow priice is a good value for this course. The greens were in good shape but the fairways could use some work due to thin/bare spots. Also, $10 for a very small bucket of range balls is a bit steep Place of play has been good for the during the week tee time I had

An old favorite that has fallen on hard times. Course is struggling to come back. Greens and fairways much improved. Rough and areas around greens are bad. Bunkers have no depth. Tee boxes improving. Course needs more tender living care.

Stalled recovery

3rd time playing here since it reopened - 1st time since Nov '23. The course hasn't really made any significant improvement.

Fairways are patchy, off the fairway is a minefield. Greens were pretty furry and slow.

Overall, it was disappointing to not see any significany improvement since November.

Subject to change with the weather...

I played this course because the picture looked like it was a little dry, and for the last several weeks, central Florida has been that way, so I was looking for a course where the ball would roll some. The course, both fairways and greens, has a lot of contours. In wet weather there are a lot of places where the contours take the ball that I suspect would be muddy, but in the current dry conditions, playing the ground game and feeding the ball to spots in the fairway and on the green was a lot of fun. They are conserving water (which is nice in Florida where they usually over water). As a consequence...right now the rough is thin and dry (your results may vary depending on recent weather).

I had a blast...it is a great thinking course. Pick where you want the ball to end up...backtrack to where it will land, and figure out how to feed it to where you want it...it's very much like links golf. The bunkers, and firm (currently at least) greens, require some thought on approach angles and lofts.

As with most courses, they don't manage sprinkler coverage very well so many of the bunkers are hard packed (mostly around the green). It's a little ironic that you can play great explosion shots from fairway bunkers where you're trying to catch mostly ball, and have to chunk and run in bunkers around the green, but hey...it makes you get creative.

Coming from Kissimmee, this is a bit of a drive (45 minutes), but, when it's dry...this will be one of the top area courses on my list of places to play.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
