Stoneybrook Golf Club

I loved the course with a lot of terrain. Completed 10 weeks of boot camp! Great experience and thanks to the pros Jordan and Josh

Not sure what happened, but, this course went downhill. Have brought numerous friends to play here in the past but today the conditions were horrible. Dry, brown and beat up!
Would not play again without driving through to check conditions!

The team here is second none. From the beginning to the end. The course is in great shape.(Don’t forget to tip on the way out)

One of my college fraternity brothers (Ohio State; Kappa Sigma) suggested that he and I and one other alumni play Stoneybrook GC while visiting friends in Fort Myers, Florida. We took him up on the offer and played on a day in late February when the morning temperature was, unbelievable as this sounds, 32 degrees; temps warmed to 50 degrees (long pants, sweater). I felt right at home being from COLS, OHIO. We played the course from the front men’s tees at about 6,000 yards due to breezy, cool conditions. The greens were lightning quick and had a very nice grass base, no bare spots at all. The fairways, too, were tightly mowed and had plenty of grass on them. Our fee for the day was $ 80 per person — a little steep but as snow birds we went for it. No time to use the practice tee and I was somewhat glad due to the range being «aquatic». Something about the balls used on aquatic ranges that I dislike (snob; oh well). What started our day on the glass-​half-​empty side was the treatment by the starter. I get it. His job is to keep an orderly progression of groups teeing off but this starter was a little full of it. First, he made certain our carts did not leave the putting area to pull up to the starter’s booth until 10 minutes before our time. Stoneybrook’s staring area is very big and concrete. We weren’t going to hinder anyone. Then once we were asked to pull ahead and stage… I pulled my cart adjacent to my friends’ cart. Immediately I was chastised and told, «Sir, you can’t take up double space on this path. Single file so all carts can get through including ones coming in.» I can tell you there was at least a full cart-​and-​a-​half room on my side for a cart to fit through… but I didn’t bark back. Too bad… I did feel as though he was angered by snow bird traffic on his golf course. The course was very nice; I’d like to try it for half the price if I ever return in the summer months.

Great course. I’ve been vising SWF for several years now, and I play Stoneybrook every time. It’s reasonably priced, the course is in good shape, the carts all have GPS screens, and it’s an interesting course to boot. Also, I’ve found the staff to be super friendly.
The greens roll really nice but they aren’t too difficult. If you’re having a good day your score will reflect this. The only really easy hole for long-​ball hitters (which I am not) is the 18^th which is a short par 5. They will be putting for eagle.
We were first off the tee box first this morning at 7 AM and finished our round in 4 hrs flat. Early tee time is highly recommended! I’ll be back!

Very challenging golf course. The greens were rough to read and had many slope the opposing direction you would think. Layout of the course is challenging but not too hard for average golfers. The concessions were good and reasonably priced. The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Played here yesterday, course was in great shape, lots of water. The pace was a little slow, took almost five hours, but enjoyed ourselves. The cart people were extremely busy and a little curt, but it appeared there were not enough of them and they had way too much to do. Overall, an good experience. We will play here again.

Guy behind the counter was a jerk! Treated my 14 year old son like he was an imposition and a bother. All we wanted to do was hit some range balls while the girls shopped across the street. I won’t be back. Dude does not understand who the customer is!

I signed up for Unilocal strictly so I could warn others about this place.
I played the course with a scratch golfer and a pretty decent older gentleman (in a threesome). On hole 9, after waiting on EVERY shot of the day, the ranger had the audacity to approach out group. As he pulls up, he asks for a distance reading, the scratch golfer says 250 — to which the Ranger retorts, «then HIT the ball, you’re holding up MY golf course!» I politely told him we would not be hitting into the group ahead and that we had been waiting on every shot of the morning. He became angrier and elevated his voice. I politely informed him that play was slow bit we were certainly not the cause. He taunted the zero handicap that he «couldn’t reach the green»… Unbelievable.
At this point, tempers were a bit high and he threatened to remove me from the course as he drove off…
He single handedly ruined an otherwise enjoyable round of golf.
I will never return, and caution others to play elsewhere. So many great choices, no need to deal with egos like that to play good golf in southwest FL!
Oh, and I had time to sign up for Unilocal and write this review from the course, all without slowing play! ;)

Do not go to this course unless you want to spend your entire day here. I golfed with a friend on March 2^nd here and we were supposed to T off at 12:55. We didn’t get to until 1:15. Not a problem except that we had to wait 15 to 20 min for each hole. They over booked the course big time. After a 3 hour 9 holes we decided we had enough and went to the clubhouse were we were offered no appology and were told that is what you get for a public course. I never complain and really didn’t expect anything but an appology. None was given. They just need to raise the price and not let as many people on. For now I would recommend old corkscrew up the road for a the money it is worth it.

Great place to golf — way tougher then the slope they have it rated at. The greens are only a few months old so you can’t stick your ball on the flag. You need to run it to the hole. I played it three times in 2 days and had a great time.
My only complaint was with the on-​course service — they never came around and when they did, we told them to see us in two holes and that never happened.
