WINTER GARDEN — Residents of the Stoneybrook West Golf Community are upset after
seeing their golf course close its doors.
-
Golf course at Stoneybrook West closed its doors in
December
-
HOA says course did not tell group they were closing
-
HOA meeting to gameplan how to make a bid to buy the
course
The Home Owners Association says the course didn’t even tell them what its plans
were or that they were closing.
Sean Hooke who lives off the sixth hole
of the golf course is now wondering what the closure means
to homeowners like him.
“The reason we moved in to this community was the golf
course," Hooke said. "It’s a beautiful golf course, along
with the amenities with it, so it impacts us, especially if
we live on the golf course.”
The course is listed in county records under the company
Stoneybrook West Golf Club LLC and is connected to other
golf courses in Central Florida. They are the ones
homeowners are now trying to buy the course from.
The Stoneybrook West HOA is working up a bid, and Monday
Winter Garden City Manager Mike Bollhoefer told Spectrum
News 13, “We are watching what happens at Stoneybrook West
closely. We would like to see the HOA buy it, and we will do
our best to facilitate that process.”

The golf course closed in late December, but still
receives maintenance despite no play being allowed on it.
"I have seen in Apopka, and in Clermont, and in Windermere where the golf
courses shut down and it looks horrendous," Hooke explained. "I think the
homeowners here I think are all trying to avoid that.”
Homeowners and the HOA are trying to act fast so the course can eventually
reopen and fill up a tee sheet once again.
The Stoney Brook West Golf Club HOA is meeting Monday night to game plan how
to make a bid to buy the course and hope to have the issue resolved within
120 days.
