What golfers love
Golfers tell us that the golf course at Stow Acres has some great qualities that are especially beloved by golfers. Despite the time of year, golfers are pleasantly surprised by the excellent condition of the course in mid-December, with green grass and soft greens. The South Course offers a fast pace of play, with few other golfers seen throughout the day, allowing for a quick round of 18 holes in under 3 hours. The North Course is also highly regarded, with ongoing maintenance work evident on the greens and traps. The layout is challenging, particularly if you enjoy doglegs left, and the staff and food receive positive feedback. Golfers appreciate the absence of leaves or acorns on the course, making it easier to find their balls. While there are some minor issues such as leaves in certain areas and missing tee markers, overall, golfers score well and don't lose many balls. The course is considered good value for the money, with a positive staff attitude and friendly service. Despite some mixed opinions on course conditions and difficulty, the general consensus is that Stow Acres offers a pleasant golfing experience.
Good to know
Golfers tell us that there are several areas of improvement that Stow Acres Golf Course can focus on. Many reviewers noted that there were a lot of leaves in places and no tee markers, making it difficult for golfers to locate their ball or know where to tee off from. The North Course was also noted to have greens in poor condition, with some in desperate need of repair. Some tee boxes were badly torn up, and fairways were described as not consistent or full of weeds. Several reviews also mentioned that the carts were in poor condition and ran poorly. The pace of play was rated as poor or average by some reviewers. While the course difficulty was mostly rated as "n/a," one reviewer noted that the rough was very deep and easy to lose a ball. Overall, golfers are suggesting better maintenance of the greens, tee boxes, and fairways, as well as clearer markers and fewer leaves on the course.
