Overpriced

I was told they sold land for housing...I believe it..houses would be better..greens sliw..slow....
No workers on course...leaves on fairways and greens....
Putting green closed for season..
Range rundown..
No tee markers..never saw that before.

Shabby greens and tee boxes

The tee boxes seem to get zero maintenance and tees are apparently not moved often. Very beat up.
Some greens were decent but others were atrocious. Not mowed, fungus, bare spots.
Even allowing for the regular aggravation of falling leaves in the fall the course was in horrible shape. Does nobody take pride in their work anymore??

Good, not great.

Most of the course was in good shape, but there were a couple of areas that were banged up. Could have used some leaf blowers out there, 1 green was entirely covered in fallen leaves. I mean ALL of it. Staff was friendly.

Well worth the trip

I played both the North and South courses and had an extremely enjoyable experience. The greens rolled a little slow compared to other courses I have played but they were in great shape. The staff and starter were extremely nice and the course was in good shape even after the two week drought. . I preferred the North course over the South but both had its unique challenges. Good pace of play even with four groups of walkers ahead of us. Will definitely play again.

Fairways dried out!

Played both courses, North was in better shape than south! South was dried out and lots of patches ! Greens were spongy and slow. Grounds crew would mow grass but not rake up the excess grass!

The beer cart was not working, Tee boxes were a complete disaster, and the fairways and greens were not in good shape. To top it all off it was very over priced. Last time at Stowe Acres unfortunately

Walked

Look elsewhere - better bang for your buck. Multiple greens covered in geese droppings and others wrecked by black fungus. Par threes are all straight and essentially the same distance. Layout is not overly interesting. Better options in the area layout and upkeep-wise. Save your money.

Longest 9 hole round ever

I played 9 after work and the pace of place was awful. It was so clogged up on the 6th hole the group ahead was actually sitting down on the fairway waiting. It took 2 hours and 50 minutes to play 9 holes. The layout is fun and the conditions were good, but the pace of play was very disappointing

Love this course -- Will play here again and again

I love this course. Spread out. Pace is usually great. You can use every club in your bag. Plenty of holes to swing the driver with room to miss on both sides. (On the South course. The North Course is a lot more narrow.) Good elevation changes. Staff is very nice. Carts run well. Greens were a tiny bit slow, but still in great condition. Good value for the golf experience that you're getting.
