Course was in great condition considering it was December 12th

Grass was green, greens were soft, and I was surprised at how nice the course was for mid-December in Mass.
I also only saw 2 other golfers all day on the South Course so I was able to rip around the 18 in under 3 hours.
My only issues is that there were a lot of leaves in places and no tee markers so I wasn't always sure where to hit from, but in the end I scored well and didn't even lose a ball.

North Course is Very Good

Stow North Course keeps getting better, maintenance shows steady work on greens and traps. Layout is ok if you like doglegs left, keep your 180 yard lob wedge handy. Staff and food are good also. Best part was no leaves or acorns in play on a calm day.

Stow Acres North Course

Course layout is very good and challenging. Greens were not in good condition. Rough is very deep and easy to lose a ball. Some tee boxes are badly torn up. I normally walk but the golf cart was included in the Golf Now Hot Deal price, however, the gas golf cart ran very poorly.

Greens are furry.

Greens are over frown and super slow and bars spots in some. Fairways are weeds. Not consistent. Tee box mostly dirt.

Course needs attention

Greens on the North course were not cut recently and some were in desperate need of repair.

Absolutely Awful

I haven’t played here in 10 years. Had to be the worst course that I’ve played in the 10 years since. My son and I play different courses every weekend so I’ve seen a lot and this place is horrendous. The greens are literally longer than most fairways. Fairways were beat. Carts sucked. Had to switch carts after 9 because every time to pushed the gas it took 30 seconds to go.

I would not waste my money here.
