Stoneybrook East Golf Course

The course greens are in very bad shape as well fringe areas. Tee boxes & fairways are fine! Pace of play great & staff friendly. Course was not very busy!

The last time I played this course was about 5 or 6 years ago, simply for the fact that I found other courses more economical for a retiree as I am. But, 2 things recently piqued my interest: one was a YouTube video where the subject was "the worst course in Florida" and it was Stoneybrook and second, I found the green fees for this week were only about $30, about half of the usual.
So, my golfing compatriot and I played today which was a gorgeous day for golf, cool, sunny, and a bit of wind to check it out. This is a challenging layout with some water on almost every hole and changes in fairway contours, not to mention the 8 foot long alligator that was 25 yards from the number 10 tee. The fairways were good and the traps had sufficient sand but the greens...AAAAK! Every green had some brown areas and some had dried mud areas that made putting quite adventurous. The staff had obviously cut the pins in the best grassy areas so short putts were not too challenging, but long ones...frustrating at times. The tees look like they were recently overseeded and the new grass is growing and the fairways, while not pristine, did not have any bare areas as I've experienced at another local course that has a rather high opinion of itself.
Overall, it was an enjoyable round and the course can be a wonderful track if the greens problems can be resolved. And, also, more rakes are needed for the traps as they seemed to be in short supply. I really like this course for the money we paid, but I checked and it appears the green fees are going way up to $60 (GASP! CHOKE!) next week. If you can find a hot deal, you should enjoy a round here but, for $60, I suggest you shop around.

This is an interesting course. Almost every hole is different from the one before it but unfortunately the greens are terrible. Large dead patches….if you enjoy putting don’t play this course.

Tee boxes and greens were rotten but the fairways and ruff were good. I considered the $20 I paid in greenfees made for 3 hours on a driving range.

Tee boxes and green’s were in very bad condition. Although the fairways and ruff were in great shape. And for $20 I might play it again just so I don’t have to go to a driving range.

Course was like a cow pasture,greens was very poor shape no green on the green all brown very disappointing round of golf and want my money back.could not putt on any greens. Never will I go back!!!!!!!!

Tee boxes are just dirt. Greens need so much help. Definitely don’t recommend playing here.

The course was overly wet, so I don't hold that against the conditions. The greens were dead, slitted and dyeing, while the tee boxes were already dead. Rather than maintain the bunkers, they simply eliminate them, thereby making the course much easier on which to score. The grounds staff has never met a golfer it liked, as mowed without stopping, right next to the tee box on which I was teeing off. Zero regard or courtesy for the ONLY golfer in sight; just back and forth while I stood there waiting.
This was a nice course once, but it's all about the Benjemin's now.

Staff great as always. Conditions not perfect due to season.

I cannot remember playing a course in worse conditions. Whoever is give more than 1 star is delusional. Dirt tee boxes. Fairway’s actually have grass, but are hard. The best part is the greens (said with heavy sarcasm). I was sending pictures to golf buddies on how bad the greens are. Indescribable. They are trying to go out of business so the owner can build condos. I saw 3 singles the whole time. Even passed one because his cart died. I’ve played here for 10+ years, and it is in its worst right now. Avoid unless you just want to get out of the house, better to go pick up trash on the roadside, at least that is a worthwhile endeavor. Very sad what stonybrooke has become.

By far the worse greens you will ever see. Tee boxes were in bad shape and fairways were below average. this course needs some serious help if they plan on staying around...

Like most courses, Stony Brook is suffering in the weather…. too much rain too much heat …greens are messed up quite a bit but still puttable. The fringe was really deep needed mowing but otherwise it was OK.
