Stoneybrook Golf Club, Estero, Florida
 Located
just south of Ft. Myers in Estero is one of the longest courses
in Florida - 7353 yards from the back tees. Featuring the "Magnificent
7 Tees," (that's right, seven sets of tees to choose from!),
this upscale public course boasts immense preserve areas and majestic
pines, oaks, and pristine cypress heads that border numerous holes.
Although accented with imposing waste bunkers and mounds, its rolling
fairways provide wide-open, spacious landing areas. Designed by
Jed Azinger and Gordon Lewis, every hole is spectacular. The club
is very convenient to both Ft. Myers and Naples area hotels.

Peter Bulson says:
I had the chance to play this course in February 2001. Great
layout, seemed like there was water on every hole and sometimes
on both sides of the fairway plus the waste bunkers and wide
open layout give a kind of hybrid links feel. I'm a 12-13 handicap
and I played the regular tees and it was fairly challenging--the
blues would have made it a lot harder--but I haven't played
since November I didn't want to torture myself. This is a target
golf course and if you're spraying it you're going to get a
chance to use their generous drops on nearly every hole. I will
definitely play it again--great course, great staff, great price,
it couldn't have been a better experience (unless I broke 80)

DAN DESTEFANO says:
The course was very playable and in good condition. The greens
were super but the fairways were slightly under par. VEry friendly
staff. |
Michael Taylor says:
I love this course. I play to about a 3 handicap, and I always
play this course from the tips. Its an incredibly fair layout
that is quite generous in its landing areas, but poses a great
mental strain due to its great length. Holes 17 and 18 is a
classic 1-2 as 17 is a long par 3 over water (237 yeards or
so) and then 18 is a short attackable par 5 (only 500 yards).
18 is your reward for staying patient throught the round and
gives you a green light to attack. If you play smart on this
course you can easily shoot in the 70s. If you slip up, the
scores can baloon quite easily. That's the mark of a great golf
course. |
