Stow Acres Country Club Review: What Is Still Open in 2026

Carl's take

Stow Acres currently lists an 18-hole South Course and a nine-hole North Course. Its October 6 homepage advertises North play; check your course assignment before reserving.

What you can book now

The operator currently describes an 18-hole South Course and a nine-hole North Course, and advertises North play. Earlier claims that the North is closed for all of 2026 are out of date. Check the current tee sheet, course assignment and maintenance notice.

Check the official reservation policy before booking.

The South rate card

Walking 18 is $50 Monday–Thursday. Friday–Sunday and holidays are $65 before 3pm and $55 after. An 18-hole cart adds $24. Nine-hole South weekend rates are available only after 3pm. Read the selected booking terms before paying.

A course with a longer history

The property was home to Mapledale Country Club, a Black-owned golf course, and hosted the first three National Black Golf Championships in 1926, 1927 and 1928, according to the operator and Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area. That history is worth reading before the round.

Practice and the day of play

For a local round, choose the number of holes you want and compare the final walking or riding bill. For a trip from Boston, reserve the named course before driving. Use the current operator notice over an older two-18-hole directory listing.
