Stoneybrook West Golf Course

The course is still not all the way back meaning they are still working on it. Some of the approaches are still under repair. For $50 I expected more.

This course is fun and challenging! We own in the community, and we just moved back after a year living downtown, and we have been yearning for a day like this. The course still need a little more maintenance, but overall it was a blast!

This was my first time playing this course after picking up golf after this course closed. Heard such great things about this place. I can see the great potential with the layout (could arguably be the best layout in town) but this course isn’t ready to be played. The front 9 fairways and rough is pretty much the same (FL weeds) and the back fairways are in much better shape. All of the cart paths and curbs were covered in grass. Not sure why a course would open without edging along sidewalks - wasn’t a great first impression but with the right care this course can be premiere. We played in the afternoon where the course was wide open so we were able to get around the course fairly quick.

Some bare spots in the fringe and fairways but this course sat idle for several years. Layout is great. Greens and Tees look great. Hopefully they can remedy as Snowbirds approach.

There are a lot of areas without grass in the fairways. Areas around the greens are not in good shape. Greens are in good shape just a touch on the slow side. Tee boxes are in good shape. Areas outside of fairways are very rough, all kinds of grasses and weeds. I played in the afternoon for $35 + tax which is not too bad but $60 in the morning? This is no where near a $60 golf course.

Course just opened back up recently so understandably it needs aesthetic work but I’ve noticed they’ve been making improvements with each time I’ve gone. So with some time it will be an awesome looking course. A little pricey for the product it has currently but I can see it being worth it down the road.

Course was Ok considering just reopening I am sure there is a lot of work to do. Great track though... Play and support it so it will come back. BUt beware... I paid 10.00 for 17 range balls. That is a world record! Supposed to be 25. I literally took them back to object and got my money back. You can buy 18 brand new cheap balls for less. Don't know what they are thinking...

Greens are great but difficult, fairways and tee boxes are average but are improving at a fast rate!

Course just reopened after being closed for 6 years. Greens were in great shape but the fairways and rough were in poor condition. We played on a rainy afternoon so we finished in 3 hours The course has a great layout so when the conditions improve it will be a great place to play

The course recently reopened and several of the greens remain spotty.

Will try again in a few months

Someone else wrote that it’s a $35 course in its current shape and I agree 100%. It reminds me of Metro West - not so much employing a greenskeeper as much as a landscape crew. The greens are ok but no one is caring for the mowers, the grass is gouged 3” wide across several greens, it’s just Busch league and until they elevate the quality of the course back to what it was before closing, it’s a round you’ll enjoy ONLY if you pay less than $40 and you’re very accurate, if you can find a ball in this rough you’re an Eagle Scout,

We were quite surprised that the course was not in good condition. The rough was so long, lost a few balls in the thick.

We were there the day before they officially closed but back then the course was actually in great shape. Harding $60 for this condition is a joke! Come Stoney Brook get our home course back in shape, and reduce price until you do

There were a bunch of new reviews on here but they all got taken off somehow . This course was abandoned for many years . They tried to reopen it without getting the course ready . It has great potential but is not a $60 Florida course , maybe $35 until they get it up to condition . Skip it unless you really want to play the course . Also the photos of course do not appear to be current , they are from prior before course was abandoned.

This course looked like someone took a mower and cut out a golf course layout on a piece of property in a weed conservation area. If you want dead grass, mud, golf cart tracks through weed infested greens and fairways, then this is the place for you. I am a sub-par golfer and welcome average course conditions because I don’t feel bad if I take a big divot. Here, you would never know. This whole place is a divot surrounded by weeds. They should have never opened the doors. And, they charged us 60 dollars to play!!!! They should have paid us

First off, this course was rushed to be open. It is not worth 60 dollars and that’s not even the bad part. We had the first tee time of the day. Any golfer who wakes up early and books the first tee time on a Saturday is not trying to play a longer round. We were told we were going to be paired up so we didn’t get slowed down by mowers. Okay, that’s fine. We didn’t see one mower on the course. We played the front nine as a foursome in 1:30 hours, on pace for 3 hours. We made the turn to have a foursome on the 10th tee box, a foursome in the fairway, and a foursome on the green. The back 9 took 2:30 hours. The “owner” drove by and asked how pace was on the back and when we complained, he said we should be happy to play a four hour round. He told us that he could do whatever he wanted with his course and can put his members wherever he wanted. Zero apology. Zero customer service. He then proceeded to blame us for wanting to play quickly and was not friendly about it at all. As we finished, he happened to drive by again and offered us a beer on him. Do not give your money to this place. It’s not just a one time thing. I also played on the first day this place opened (7am tee time) and made the turn as a single to have 6 foursomes in front of me on the back 9. The owner is greedy and doesn’t know how to run a golf course or take responsibility for his actions.

I hope with this review you can form your own opinion, and take with it what you wish. My group teed off at 7am this morning, was told immediately to stay with our group and wait to tee off “right at 7” due to mowers still working. All is fine with that, all about respect, but a near 3 minutes later we are told by the starter that it was not due to mowers but rather a shotgun start tournament, this is where things go downhill. We teed off at 6:59, and were stopped mid rotation to let a single member go through who was only playing 9, again not an issue we never saw him again, but it is the premise…why not put him on the back when you have a full four at 7 booked. We finish front nine in 1:38 and make the turn to not one, not two, but three foursomes in front of us. This was not a shotgun start tournament, this was a bogus attempt at letting members just shell out whenever they please. Golf courses have members, and non members respect that. Priority does not mean priority to play the course at any time but ability to book priority tee times and have first availability when walking on A TEE TIME. We finished the round in 4:10 and could have bee done in 3 hours and 16 min at pace of front. Rewarding your pace setters on first tee time of the day with waiting on holes? Not a good way to run a golf course for repeat non-community business. The tournament for today listed on their site is for juniors, I saw zero juniors and solely men over 50. Conditions are abysmal, only okay part comes from the greens and tricky layout. Just an all around horrible experience and we will most likely not be back. Luckily, the other twosome playing with us today also felt the same, and were the only reason we didn’t leave after 9

Greens are good. For being closed for 5 years it’s already better than 70% of courses in Orlando.

I'm very happy sbw has reopened, but when i went to play, i was very disappointed. Fairways are terrible. Landscaping is terrible. Muddy everywhere. plenty of crab grass and weeds around greens. Course needs a lot of work. I think they reopened too early. The worst part , I paid $52.00 for that crap. Management became defensive when i expressed my concerns.
