Island Green/Waterfall at Meadows Farms Golf Course

Tee boxes and fairways were all fine but the greens were in pretty rough shape.

This course has 27 holes and I played the island and waterfall courses 18 holes. I also got to play the Longest hole 3, the 841 yd Par 6 . This course is a lot of fun and unique in several ways. It's not your average course. I enjoyed my round thoroughly. The starter was helpful. The Greens had taken a dive as others have said this summer in 2025 but they're coming back and the ball rolled nicely. I plan on coming back and playing again soon even though I don't live in the area.

Great course and always a pleasure. Greens were a little choppy this round (idk if it’s the weather or what) but always a joy. I am by no means a great golfer but I’ve been doing it long enough and played enough places that meadows hits the spot! My go-to.

Look I know they had a hot wet summer down here in Virginia. But charging full price to play is not very good.

The greens had black spots and clumps of crabgrass.

Can't really count this round.

Have played here at least 20 times

By far the worst greens I have ever seen

Nothing but mud and crabgrass

Will be a long time before I play there ao

TEMPORARILY CLOSED!!! Should be what the signs read. Used to like this course, but it’s highly unethical and fraudulent for the owners to charge with the state it’s currently in. Worst I have ever seen or played on. Cowardly to let teenagers work on the weekends so they don’t have to deal with the backlash. Don’t go here!

The greens were AWFUL. Mostly crabgrass spots mowed down with dried cracked mud all over the green surface.

I have truly never played a course with worse greens than Meadow Farms yesterday. Tons of crabgrass and limited grass coverage on the greens made it nearly impossible to play, and I don't think the course should be charging full price with the condition of the greens.

More expensive than. the previous year, despite horrible greens. Fairways very good. Tee. boxes sometimes a little slanted

Greens were horrible, many were just patches of dirt. Made putting a nightmare. Rest of course is decent.

This is the 2nd time we have played this season. The 1st time was early in the season and the greens were being aerated so it was unfortunate but understandable. Played the course 08/01/2025 and the greens are horrible. It’s like putting on glass with crabgrass all over the place. Definitely call them and ask about the greens if you play later in the year. Personally I wouldn’t pay 1/2 price to play this course again this year. Very disappointing.

Tee to green ,one of the best layouts and conditions. greens had fungus on them. almost unplayable.

First the good points.

1. The staff is outstanding, especially the starters. When asking about the course and certain holes the starter (an elderly gentleman with a beard and twitchy eye) made the recommendation to club up on certain holes despite what range finder said. Very friendly!

2. Fairways are good and rough is challenging.

3. Sand traps (I’m being generous calling them that) are hard with no sand.

4. Greens are horrible! Full of crab grass. It’s like playing Plinko trying to make a putt. My group had some laughs trying to predict which way the ball would go off the crab grass moguls. They need to do something to address this or at least inform golfers of the problem. Suggestion: Recommend the “marshals” go around to the Greens and remove the crab grass and fix divots. I’ve seen this done at Lee Hills and their greens are in much better shape!

It was a fun course and hopefully they can address the problem of the greens to make it a great course.

Meadow Farms Golf Course has a lot going for it on paper. Three 9-hole courses allow for more players to cycle through, the staff is friendly, and the pro shop, lounge, and grille are all impressive. The course itself is generally in good shape, with well-maintained tee boxes and fairways, and the rough is challenging enough to punish bad shots. Signature features like the waterfall and the longest hole in America add some interesting character.

Unfortunately, all of that is overshadowed by the absolutely atrocious condition of the greens. They are, without exaggeration, some of the worst I have ever played. This even includes sand greens in Florida. Patchy, dying, and inexplicably sprouting crabgrass everywhere, they make putting feel like pure guesswork rather than a test of skill.

It is downright shameful for the course to charge $86 a round, seemingly justified by the novelty of the longest hole alone. At best, this should be a $45 course for 18 holes, and had I known all the greens looked like the first few, I would have asked for my money back or disputed the charge altogether.

To make matters worse, the two golfers I played with mentioned that the greens always look this way. Slow greens are one thing, but this level of neglect or apathy is inexcusable. If the course can maintain its tee boxes, fairways, and rough so well, there is simply no excuse for the greens to be in such a laughable and embarrassing state.

Meadow Farms needs to take a hard look at its priorities before expecting players to pay premium prices for such a subpar experience.

Great course. Some challenging layout. Friendly staff. Greens were a little rough on a couple holes but overall not terrible.

There was heavy rain day prior, light rain day of so it was cart path only. Incentivized to put ball near path to save walking in the wet grass ;-}
