Good value

Course was in good condition and a round with a cart was very reasonable. The tee boxes were in rough shape and it seemed like every hole on the north course was a dog leg left, but otherwise it was a great round.

Long hot summer

Course was in rough shape. Can't really blame the course - every course I've played in the past couple weeks is burnt out. Greens were being airarted as we played. Layout was good - a challenge for all abilities. Pace of play was outstanding, although the group in back of us was instructed to tee off while we were on a short past 4 and almost killed my wife. So there's that.

We were paired with a fun couple. Jim and Sophie if you're reading this, thank you, you were great!

Overall an average course.

If you can, play the North Course

The layout of this course is fun but unfortunately the greens were almost all burnt or roughed up. Hole 16’s green was being watered for so long there were puddles all across the green. The flooding on that hole was so bad we couldn’t put. The North Course was in perfect condition when I played in early July and is a much more enjoyable round. Overall, Stowe Acres is a great facility and you are going to enjoy your round regardless of which course, but if given the option I would choose North 10 times out of 10

Not worth the money

The course is dry in terrible condition,ladies boxes have no grass, uneven and just a mow section of grass. There are NO markers on the course do you don’t know where to hit to or what yardage you are at. For the price I expected a course with done vita, flowers something to lay your eyes on. Instead it’s flat and you just hit and go. I used same clubs every hole all day. Not worth $79. Cart only had water. Gatorade or Pepsi. How odd

Go Elsewhere

Echoing what others have said, North Course is in absolute disrepair. Tee boxes are completely torn up and greens are some of the worst I have seen in New England. Course was filled with people who were there to drink and not to play. We got through 12 holes as a twosome in 3 HOURS. After the 12th we realized we were stacked up behind 3 groups, including a foursome of walkers. Took off after 12 holes. They clearly overbook this place and management doesn't care about the experience. Not worth the price and I personally will never be returning.

Save your money

Course was in very very poor condition. Greens very poor, seems like theywere not cared for. Staff was inconsiderate I felt not welcomed ?? Because I was from north shore take it or leave it attitude. They must have too many dopes willing to pay the price for lousy course
Played the north course. Which is supposedly better,?? Nothing the way I remember a few years back?? This was one of the Premier courses around. They charged $79.00 which is not a big deal however I feel like 40.00 I would have over paid. Plenty of other courses in the area

POOR

5 hours to play 18 holes with a cart. Tee boxes are beat up, fairways decent, greens are long and slow. No one replaces divots or repair ball Mark's on the greens.
