Stonebrook Golf Club

Stonebrook Golf Club sits in Pace, a small community in the western Florida Panhandle near Pensacola. Designed by Charles Daniels and opened in the late 1990s, the course occupies rolling terrain that is somewhat unusual for coastal Florida, with elevation changes that provide natural movement through the layout. The property features stands of mature pines and hardwoods, and several holes incorporate water hazards and wetland areas typical of the region's ecology. The routing takes advantage of the site's topography, with fairways that rise and fall across the landscape. Daniels shaped greens with moderate contour and positioned bunkers to define landing areas and frame approaches. The course plays through a residential development, though the design maintains separation between golf holes and homesites in most areas. Several par threes offer variety in length and shot requirements, while the longer holes test accuracy off the tee through tree-lined corridors. Stonebrook serves primarily as a daily-fee facility for the Pensacola area, drawing local players and visitors to the Gulf Coast region. The course provides a traditional parkland experience in a part of Florida where many layouts occupy flatter, more open ground. Conditioning and playability vary with the seasons, as is common for courses in the humid subtropical climate of the Panhandle.
