Average Course

I’m surprised that the conditions were not better with all this rain, the greens should have been flawless but there were several that were burnt and created horrible putting experiences. Overall, I would think it’s a $70 max place with cart.

Disappointed

I thought Stow was a premier course. I do realize they’ve had a lot of rain.
Tee Boxes were beat up and the grass was long.
Greens were bumpy and slow, like putting on a shag carpet. The first par 3 had the tee closed and they put down a mat to hit off of 64 yards out.
I dislike writing a bad review but I’ve played multiple courses in the past few weeks.
Stow was disappointing!

Lovely time

Was almost scared off by the reviews and was all set to play somewhere else, but decided to go for a longer course, so played Stow Acres. I can see where there might be complaints, with some patches needing attention, but overall was good, and the greens were perfect. Staff was friendly. Booked directly on the course website for just $45, so a complete bargain. Even though there was light rain, we had a lovely time.

Back to Stow Acres and it was 20 years ago great. There range was a spot down the street and balls were junk . Course which I played was the South and fairways were a B and greens were C slowest greens ever played.

Sub-par conditions

Have played this course for a few years but conditions have really deteriorated. Very few greens didn’t have large patches across them.
For $80, I cannot recommend the course to friends any longer.

Recent heavy rain

I have always like Stow North. Played this past weekend and the greens were very hairy. The roll was bumpy and breaks were non existant. Aim at the hole and bang it.
Heavy rains have caused some damage to shady areas of greens, looks fungus related.

Great round

Fun day on the course - great conditions - greens rolled very true even with a hydroseeding layer down. Only complaint would be no water coolers on the course to refill bottles

Alright Course

Some interesting holes but way too many forced lay ups that get more annoying as the round goes on. Sending driver past lay up zones may be an option but when you’re waiting on every tee box you just want to hit a golf shot asap.
