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.

Not quite there yet.

First time playing since it reopened. Always loved the layout. Still very little grass off the fairways and needs a lot more reseeding etc. The greens are actually in decent shape. Our tee-off was a half hour behind and the starter seemed to keep letting twosomes pair up and go ahead of us. Then the groups were very slow and had little golf etiquette. Not sure when or if we will go back.

Great Track! Greens are Perfect!!!

Green are perfect! There are definitely some areas they are struggling with drainage and the grounds closer to the greens can be really soft but, it shouldn’t stop you enjoying this gem! This course is really coming along! Staff is amazing throughout the club! Huge Fan!

Would be a great course if...

Stonybrook West would be a great course if it was in better shape. The layout is great, and it would be a really fun course to play, but the fairways were in really lousy condition, especially the back nine. On the back nine the fairways were pretty much hardpan with many bare areas.

Not bad, like the layout

Played early so pace was not a issue for my pickup group. Course was a little wet so I had a few mud balls and two plugged lies, not blaming the course. The facility seemed out of place for the turn so I didn't stop and I only saw one restroom at 14 or so. Other than that no complaints and I would/will play it again of I can. Greens were decent and rolled nice.

Hopeful!!

We played at a very relaxed pace we didn't see another group till the 7th hole.course was in rough shape but,I am hopeful the new owners will get the course up to par. They did great job with the Greens it was rolling at a 9 or 10 and running true. just for the greens alone I would come back and play again..

Good value , On the upswing

It is impressive how much the new owner was able to do in a short period of time since the course reopened. The fairways have a few rough spots, the bunkers are in good shape and the greens are very fast wide open fairways. Excellent value for the car cost. I'll definitely be back to play again soon. The staff was friendly and very receptive to a few small suggestions. It's the attention to detail.

Coming back

The greens were in good shape and fast. The fairways need a little more time for yh grass to grow in as they're a little bare! The pace of play was terrible. If not for three groups in front of me quitting because of the pace of play I wouldn't have finished before dark with a 1:30 PM tee time!

Won't play this course again

Not a good golf experience! The course is a nice enough layout, although it's among houses, but the course conditions were not good. The fairways and rough are very hard. The greens are fast but as firm as the fairways. To make matters worst, we were 2 hours, 45 minutes for 9 holes and there was no ranger. We packed it in after nine and asked if we could get a 9 hole refund, but there was no sympathy (or refund) to be found. We certainly won't be back.

Course opened too soon

The greens are literally the only decent part of this course. They were filled in but were just absolutely wrecked with pitch marks. If you found a part on the greens not pitted, they rolled pretty good. The fairways are a joke. Weeds everywhere, dirt everywhere. The roughs were exactly that. Bare spots everywhere. The owner needs to close this course back down and get everything in shape before opening back up. For the most part the course layout was decent. The bunkers looked great but as soon as you stepped into them you realized they just look good. They were almost like playing out of mud because they were extremely wet. The staff was friendly enough. The driving range was pretty cool hitting over water. I wish the course was in better shape. Has the potential to be a gem.

Still needs work

Opened again in past year. Tee boxes and greens in good shape. The rest of the course is full of weeds.

Fairways still need a lot of work

Still growing in....

The course is still growing in from being closed for over 5 years. Going to take some time to get grass in the fairways and rough to be consistent. Great course, just wish it would get better quicker.

Too expensive for course condition

So I started playing SBW back in 2002 so I know this course. This is the first time i've played since it reopened last year. The bright spot of the course are the way the greens roll. Putted extremely well. The greens are hard as a rock though. Ball bounced very high and was hard to keep it on the green. That was even after the ton of rain that was just laid down on the course. The fairways are in mediocre shape. The grass needs to keep growing and there are a fair amount of bumps in places. The rough is horrible. It's mainly just the weeds that had previously grown when the course was closed, just mowed down. Same around the greens. In its current condition it's about a $40 course. We had the course to ourselves, which was nice but i'm sure that was due to the high price as I called Forest Lake and they were jam packed. If they priced the course right for its current condition then I think they would get a lot more business and have more money to improve the course quicker. If they keep it high I'll be surprised if this course doesn't close again. I'd hate that as I always loved playing here. Course has a nice layout with the right amount of water to make play a bit challenging. It just needs some TLC and time.
