Stoneybrook West Golf Course

Charged $50 to play this course that just Re-opened. The greens and tee boxes were decent, but already starting to get weed growth. The fairways were horrendous. Patches of dirt throughout, weeds everywhere, hard to tell fairways from rough. Any area that is not a green or tee box is completely unkept, looks like the course doesn’t own a weed eater or edger. I can’t believe they opened this course in this condition. When we expressed our displeasure, especially for the price, staff disagreed saying they thought the course is in good shape. Worst course I e played in metro Orlando.

The course recently reopened and was done prematurely. It needs another 6 months or more of solid improvements to achieve acceptable playable standards. I was very disappointed.

Lot of bare spots on fairways and tees. Rough is extra thick. Greens were decent and pace was great.

Need to wait a few months before playing Stoneybrook West. Fairways, tee boxes and rough need much work; on a scale of 1-10 perhaps a 5. Green are a 6

I have played Stoneybrook West Golf many times over the past 20 years and the conditions today are far from good. The tee time fee of $60 is way too much for a course in these poor conditions. The greens are in the best condition because they are new, but are showing signs of neglect. The fairways are in such poor condition it is difficult to play iron shots without rolling the ball. The rough is rough mostly weeds and goose grass. I think you should give it a try and see for yourself but get the lowest possible rate you can.

The course was a gem 5+ years ago - definitely not the case now. The fairways are cut unevenly, the first cut is roo high, with grass cngs and debris/garbase present.

Course needs some serious work still! Definitely should have not opened to the public in these conditions. Greens are somewhat decent, rest of it looks like a run down course.

Bathrooms at the clubhouse have mold on the ceiling.

Not what I expected for a re-opening

I anxiously awaited the re-opening of this course as I used to really enjoy it before it closed. For $60 I expected it to be at least somewhat back to its old glory. Wow was I disappointed in the conditions. It really was like a cow pasture in many areas. Bits of fairway interspersed with weeds and dirt. The rough was ROUGH - and I don't mean that it a good way. It was fully of weeks, patchy areas, and overgrowth in places. The greens were not horrible, but bumpy for sure.

Visually it needs a lot of work. When I pay $60 to play somewhere I expect it to be at least fairly well manicured and look nice around the tee boxes, etc.

I will say that the practice areas look nice and the staff was very nice. However, I won't be back anytime soon. Maybe I'll try it again in 6 months or so and see if it has improved.

This was the first golf course I ever played 10+ years ago and it's great that it's back.

The greens complexes and greens themselves look great. Tee boxes are in good shape. The first 5 fairways are also in pretty good shape. There are fairways that need a lot of work, but the grass that is growing is looking strong. This tells me they have the right mix of water, fertilizer, and mowing and they should fill out decently as the growing season still has another couple of months here.

Greens were a little firm and I did have to wait on greens mowers a few times, but that's to be expected when you play at 7am.

The layout here is awesome. Challenging without using only length as the test. There's water on a lot of holes, good risk/reward holes, and still good scoring opportunities. Beware of OB too.

They do need a day with 10 guys using weed wackers. There is a lot of growth on cart paths and tall weeds around, but that can be fixed easily.

Give it a shot. Don't expect perfection because it's clearly still a work in progress. But look at the greens and I think you'll see the potential the fairways have.
