Stoneybrook West Golf Course

Greens were in great shape but the tee areas and fairways were in bad shape and the sand traps were quite hard

I don’t think I’ll be back

Course was in good shape and even with a tournament in the morning we started within 15 minutes of our tee time, which I feel was amazing.

Played this course regularly and enjoyed it before it was shut down for several years. Bringing a course back from severe neglect, especially in FL, is a long and tough task so I think Stoneybrook West deserves some slack when it comes to a review. There’s a lot to like about the course and a lot that needs improvement. Overall, however, I would recommend this course at a $50 price point. The layout is terrific for one carved out in a residential area. It has strategic short par 4’s, some long and tough par 5’s, and a nice variety of par 3’s. The greens are extremely fast and smoooth but hard as concrete. So, several of the more undulating greens border on the unfair as goods shots can be penalized by rolling off! The fairways are thin, very hard, and somewhat spotty with many areas roped off to allow growth/recovery. For the most part, the tee boxes are decent with the par 3’s showing the most wear/damage which is to be expected. Bunkers vary as to the amount of sand and density. Finally, the rough on every hole can only be described as little more than spotty, weed ridden pastures. Pace of play was slow (4:40) the day I played and we never saw a ranger. However, the pro shop and cart staff seemed friendly and accommodating but they were so short on carts, they were ten minutes behind on afternoon tee times. With more money and time, Stoneybrook West could be a very nice track but, like I said, it’s worth a go now at a $50 price point.

Have never waited so long on every shot, on every hole. And when the (rude) ranger came round after 3.30hrs and asked if everything was ok, and I replied fine but very slow, I was told it’s Florida it usual. Well I can tell you we’ve played slow courses but have still been in, in about 4 hrs. Was told 4.30 hours is acceptable and actually the round took 5 hours. If the man had listened, the 3 ball in front of us would wait until the people in front had LEFTthe green, there was no way the could drive the green, then they would wait on they’re 2nd shot rather than being ready to go. If the ranger has spoken to these young men, and explained, the pace of play would have sped up. Not to mention these young men could have learnt a very valuable lesson.

This course is in nice condition. They’ve done arealnice job on the grounds since reopening the facility. Everything in good shape from tee to green.

Course on the comeback. Each time I play it, I see more improvement. However, staff needs to remain vigilant, as some areas around greens are showing some deterioration.

Greens were in good shape and rolled true. Fairways were playable, I normally move my ball so no issues. Rough was basically weeds. First time I’ve played since it reopened. Played on a Sunday it was perfect weather and course was packed so pace of play was slow. I’ll play it again.

very rude ranger, I was paired up with another golfer we both had our own charts, the nice gentleman on hole #1 said it was ok. The rude ranger came to us on hole #16 and ask what are we doing in two separate charts, we thought he was going to ask about the slow pace play, the group in front of us was in no hurry. Turn out to be a 5 hour round. After the 18th I stop in to have a beer with a friend, when I came out the ranger was in my chart moving it somewhere. I ask where are you going with my stuff , his reply was this chart has been outside for awhile I need charts and he stood next to me like a police waiting for me to get my stuff off the chart. No need to say more very uncomfortable situation. Not sure I would say that was money well spent

Challenging course. Plays tough in the wind. Kudos to team for bringing it back from oblivion. However, they need to stay vigilant as course is developing some issues around the greens and tee boxes.

Please fix ball marks and put sand in divots course in good shape can keep it that way if we all help

Good track. Fair amount of water that comes into play. Traps have very little sand. Fairways pretty thin. Overall good value for the money.

Kudos to the team for bringing the course back from oblivion. Each time that I have played the course, I have noted the improving conditions. Keep it up team.

Fun layout and decent greens, but the fairways weren't in great shape. Right off the fairway was best described as the empty lot you grew up down the street from. Next year this course is gonna be great.

Has a lot of clover patches in rough. Needs some tlc after being closed. Nice track design
