Florida Golf Course Review 12/12/04
Stoneybrook Golf Club in Estero, between Ft Myers and Naples, is a Jed Azinger/Gordon Lewis championship
design with a reputation for excellent greens and superb course conditions. Open for public play, this course
winds through immense preserve areas, with glistening lakes, wide rolling fairways, plentiful bunkering and significant mounding. Stoneybrook is also unique in that it provides seven sets of tees!
The championship tees provides one of the longest challenges in Florida, as it plays to a whopping 7343 with a
formidable slope rating of 141. Alternate sets measure 6715/135 slope, 6208/125 slope, 5644/112 slope - and
seniors, juniors, beginners and women can enjoy their round from the Challenger tees at 5163/122 slope, the
Competitor tees at 4672/115 slope and the Futures tees at 3211 yards/115 slope. There is water in play in
some shape or form on all 18 holes, and 95 sand bunkers are located along the fairways or greenside.
Facilities at Stoneybrook include a spacious, modern clubhouse that features a full service pro shop stocked

meeting/event capabilities. There also is a concession stand at the turn, featuring snacks, hot and cold

yardage plates are posted at 100, 150 and 200 yards on the fairways, and Par View GPS is standard on all
carts, providing accurate info from tee to pin. Sprinkler heads are also marked and 150 yard stakes are visible

putting green, plus a short game area for chipping and bunker practice. With these fine facilities, Stoneybrook is able to offer a wide range of lessons and instructional programs.
Great golf course, wonderful service and facilities - and competitive pricing make Stoneybrook a favorite for
locals as well as for visiting players. The property is conveniently located off I-75 and Corkscrew Road (exit 123)
