Our Favorite Course in SW Fl - Stoneybrook!

This is our favorite course in SW Florida! First and most important, is the staff. Not only are they all friendly & well-trained, but they just love having kids of all ages come play the course. The course itself has up to 6 tee-boxes on every hole, including junior tees! (Although some Junior tees are better suited for teenagers vs younger kids, so we just tee our little guy up in the fairway of those holes).

Course condition – very well kept, especially in season. Over the summer, they had to aerate multiple times, but that is to ensure a very enjoyable experience when prices increase. All of the carts have GPS and will lock on you if you try to drive too close to the greens or the ‘no cart signs’.

Facilities – Large driving range ($8 per bag of balls), a putting green, and chipping green with bunkers for practice (no charge and plenty of range balls usually on the chipping green). The Pro-shop is fully stocked with rental clubs, gear, balls, etc.  Attached to the pro-shop is a Duffy’s restaurant, which has great food & happy hours. (chain restaurant in Florida).

Playing the course – Not a frustrating course, but challenging enough for better golfers to still enjoy their round. The word is that Old Corkscrew is the hardest course in the area, but we don’t find that course THAT much harder than this one. A few of the par 3’s are relatively easy here and I would recommend moving back a tee to increase the challenge. The rate of play is average in season, a ranger does drive around checking on people and a beverage cart person does as well.
