The Stowe Golfpark is a public sports facility, centrally located on the Mountain Road in front of the Sun & Ski Motor Inn and consists of an 18-hole putting course and mini-kiosk. The course has been professionally designed as a miniaturized golf course which strives to simulate a real golf environment and experience. While keeping score, players of all ages can "read" the breaks in the greens, avoid natural obstacles, fairway hazards, sand traps, rough grass, trees, etc. The Stowe Golfpark will be open from May through October from 10:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily.
