First of all, its cash only, which has always been a red flag as far as Im concerned but ok. Of course they have an ATM in the front with a 2.50$ fee to use. Ok, Im an easy going guy no problem. I pay 19$ for a jumbo bucket and use of the practice green. The practice green turns out to be about 10 by 10 with 4 holes. Sorry no grass tees, we need you to use the matts which essentially takes the golf out of the driving range. The range balls were worn down after years of repetitive use they resembled ping pong balls. No big deal, most driving ranges are similar, maybe not a 14$ jumbo but Im still not complaining. No its the "starter" if you want to call him that, that is the main reason why Ill never go back to Stone Meadow again. There is a nine hole par three on the facility, but dont get excited, the longest whole is 88 yards. There is a guy posted at the first tee who collects receipts to make sure people paid. I bring him my receipt to begin putting. About 30 min later he pulls his golf cart up and agressively asks me if I paid obviously assuming I didnt. I told him I did I have him my receipt no less than a half hour ago. Then he shoots back their closing soon. I was aware. Keep in mind there were at least 4 other people putting on this postage stamp they try and pass off as a green. Im not exaggerating , 15 min before close he sat in his cart staring me down waiting until I left. I finish up putting, well before the place closes and he drives off. As I was pulling out of the range I look back and there is a guy on the green putting, not being harassed at all. Why this old timer decided he had it out for me Ill never know, but he certainly ensured that I would never grace the stone meadow facility again. Bad service, underwhelming facility and expensive. Avoid

Not from the area. Stopped on my way back from a business meeting. Glad I did. I laughed when it initially came up on my search of the area. What 18 hole full course golfer is going to enjoy a "pitch and putt" RIGHT?? I walked up to check it out before plunking down the $14 for a few hundred yards of golf. At the first hole there is actually a starter. The shift was changing so I had the pleasure of dealing with both Paul and Roland. It took a bit of a sell on both their parts to get me to stay but I did and the rest is history. Great for improving your short game! The 9 holes were fun and some what challenging. I brought my PW, Putter and 9 Iron. Remember 65% of your shots are within 150 yards! Give this place a shot!

I used to love coming to this place when it had grass to hit from and employees who were happy to see you. Now I fear the turf damage to my clubs, the diseased greens on the pitch and putt and the embittered old men who run this establishment. Angry with the fact that they can no longer play golf, they just look for reasons to accost other, more virulent golfers. I was verbally attacked by one of the managers after asking to speak with the owner about their "no use of the putting green without paying for it policy" - So you can hit off the synthetic turn for $13 bucks but you have to pay an extra $5 to use the putting green. Seems like highway robbery to me...

Four stars for the driving range but two stars for the pitch and put (par 3 course). The driving range is good, even when it is busy there is usually an open mat. Its also the only driving range around! The pitch and put is overpriced, for just a dollar or two more you can play a regular par 3 course. The only reason to go here would be to take the kids or if you have to be done in under an hour.

I love this place. Really nice grass tees for the practice range, and the cost is more reasonable than many others that give you less. I can see why they charge five dollars for use of the practice green, since otherwise it would be overrun with people looking for a free deal. A little tight on the practice grass tease, but that lets more players use them at one time. Nicely run, always friendly.

Golf balls are garbage and the staff are not friendly and rude. A man picked up a golf ball that was 5ft in front of him with no one around so his young child could hit one last ball. A woman comes out yelling at the gentleman, takes the ball from him, and chucks it on to the range... all in front of his son. Absolute range nazis.

Well, I was a bit anxious before my first visit because of the not-so-friendly reviews but it turned out that the club was quite good. Spaces between driving ranges was a little bit too narrow but not so bad. Staffs was nice and the driving matt was not so bad either. I think I am gonna make regular visit to this place.

Stone Meadow has the advantage of being one of the only driving ranges easily accessible from rt. 2 - this can make it particularly crowded fri-sun. But, mon-thur it offers grass tees and is less crowded. These days, I only go mon-thur as a result.

I only used the range, the range does have a grass section and mats section, I prefer grass. Unfortunately theres no grass for the cutting which disappointing. There is also no way to buy gear there they only sell range balls and tee times

Its a lovely place to be, the employees are really nice and the course is lovely for the short game practice. The driving range mats are not the best but I can deal with it.

Solid driving range. Convenient location for me and decent pricing. Theres also a Par-3 course, but I havent been on it in years.

Great little pitch n putt with well kept greens. Better hit it straight on the first two holes- its narrower than it looks!

This is the best place in the Cambridge area that I know of to hit some golf balls and work on my swing.

Their beginners golf clinic is a good experience for kids of all ages to learn some basic golf.

You can hit off the grass on the driving range during the week only. Mats only on the weekend.
