Well this was a real treat. Played recently with the Delaney group for our final 36 holes of a Ryder Cup style golf tournament for the “Stowe Stein”. It took me until hole 6 to stop obsessing over the views and beauty of the course and focus back in on the tournament. The first tee in the AM with water to your right over looking fog rolling off the mountains is as pristine as golf gets. The course can be very challenging on many ways including tight fairways, hazard carries off the tee (back 9 especially for both of those) and fast greens. That being said the course plays perfectly and fair. The greens rolled smooth and were soft enough to hold iron shots despite their speed. The sand traps were top notch, tee boxes perfectly maintained, and the entire experience was excellent. While team USA did not come up with the “Stowe Stein” victory, I hope to return next year to get revenge in the name of America! Thanks to the friendly and helpful staff for welcoming us and we cannot wait to return in 2019!

The course is well maintained and a good value for the money. Overall it’s not long and the greens are in good shape. There are a lot of blind shots, hilly lies, and the pace of play is very slow and not policed.
