Wonderful course but busy
The course couldn’t have been better. The staff and grounds were perfect. They didn’t have a drink/snack cart when we played but everything was great.
Course like no other
This course offers so much between elevation doglegs water sand (needs to be re worked) Island waterfall baseball field such a fun and interesting course. I took my 15 year old son and hadn't played here in 20 years, it had Rained for like 7 days striaght but they were out cutting fairways and roughs and always stopped and allowed us to play. The waterfall wad broken but they were working on it. Seems the owners just recently took it back over from a management company and I'm glad that they have you can see the effort that's being put back into it. Will play again.
Classic course with old flair
It was really crowded and Jo mesh’s moving people round. By the back 9 backed up 3 foursomes!
I quit after 16 due to the back up. It was a holiday but a Marshal would have helped.
In addition they didn’t honor the $40 rate I got on Golfnow and had to pay the $70 rate for 2. So below average day and paid an extra $60.
I won’t be returning!
Nice course
I play the course every Tuesday. The course in in excellent condition and the three 9 hole tracks make it fun and challenging for any level players
Average course at a good value
I like Meadows Farm golf course. I have been going here for many years. Overall course was in good shape with some exceptions. The bunkers were pretty rough and need more maintenance. Greens were in good shape and most fairways were as well. Tee boxes were mostly in fair shape. For the money you can't beat it in the area. I would have rated it higher if not for the bunkers and a few of the fairways and tee boxes.
The worst conditions
This course has the potential to be amazing. Unfortunately the Staff and keepers have let it degrade to less than poor condition. The fairways are very spotty, every bunker has grass growing in them and rock hard sand, the tee boxes were destroyed and look like they have zero maintenance. The undulating landscape and layout of the 27 holes is beautiful and would be very fun to play with different keepers. It has an awesome set up, with a warm up hole, grass driving range, and tons of water with lots of life and flowers. The club house is well kept and pleasant which gives a good feeling about the round until you get on the grass.
Fun course layout but staff is angry!
Not sure why the staff is so angry but I had some Marshall (guessing since she did not have any name tag/title) screaming at me over a mistake on where to park the cart at driving range. Guest check person seemed annoyed and unpleasant and starter was abrasive!
The course conditions were really beat up and nothing was neatly maintained. All seems ashamed since the design of the three 9 holes is fun and I enjoyed playing the course. Not sure if I play again given it’s not close to northern VA and overall not a great course. Tons of potential if they had better management and staffing.
Incredible Day!!!
Great layout, generous greens, super friendly staff!!!
Will play again if in the area!!
First outing of year
Club staff was very friendly and welcoming. I misread my tee time an hourly, but they let me get on since it wasn't too busy. Got behind some beginners that didn't know course etiquette which slowed pace of play. Tee boxes could use work but still early in the season. Will come out again during summer.
Not worth it
All around bad experience this time. For the price that is charged here, there should not be debris like leaves all over the greens and fairways. It was a very busy day and they had one of the grounds guys mowing the grass near a green that was already backed up with a couple of groups. Everybody had to wait several minutes before they could tee off. The starter told my friend and I that we were not able to play the waterfall 9 holes because he had groups that were playing in front of us. These groups were his friends and we were told that we had to play the island green 9 holes instead. Every other time I have played here this was never an issue. The starter alone will make my decision to not play this course again. The guy is very rude and makes you feel like your not welcome there.
Slowest round to date
A round took almost 6 hours and we waited on just about every hole . Over three hours to complete the front nine. It’s tough to give a fair assessment on the rest of the golf course experience because the pace of play severely impacted the enjoyment level.
Signed up for longest hole and waterfall and was told I had to play island in waterfall. The waterfall was not turned on. Call of the golfers that I interacted with seemed really nice and I would play again only if no one else was around
Over priced and they seem to have forgotten they have sand bunkers
Played here for years. New management has not kept the course in great condition. The bunkers are unplayable and the price is too.

Thank you for your comment. Yes we know are bunkers are in bad shape due to the previous management company. We are in the process of redoing our bunkers to make them better for your playing environment. Today we posted a picture of the bunkers on our facebook page if you would like to view it. Thanks Again
Very poor
Since the takeover the course has really gone downhill. Landscape is overgrown; erosion on all areas of water; free for all; very chaotic; no direction from the starter. The bunkers are more like potholes. There seems to be no maintenance at all during peak season. I would never be back.

Thanks for your comments. We however took the course back over in August 2022. Yes the course was in bad shape in October 2022. With all the things that were not done over the last several years with the prior management companies there is no way we could turn the course around in two months. However since we have been here since August we are working very diligently to bring the course back to its beauty. We hope that you will come play with us again in the future and you will see the improvements.
Pleae look at our facebook page for the picture of the bunkers we have been working on. Thanks Again
Please do not waste your money
Since the takeover the course has really gone downhill. Landscape is overgrown; erosion on all areas of water; free for all; very chaotic; no direction from the starter. The bunkers are more like potholes. There seems to be no maintenance at all during peak season. Lara Dotson is rude and acts as if you are beneath her. I would never be back.

Sorry you had a bad experience at the course. We had just come back to the course in August and yes things were in very bad shape. We have been working very hard to get things back up to par but its gonna take a while. Sorry that I was rude to you on the day you were here and I apologize. Not sure what the situation was but I should of handled it differently. Again I apologize.
Happy golfing where ever you may golf.
Lora
Alex we are sorry that your round of golf was slow on Sunday. The cart path only issue caused some of the back up. We hope that you will join us again on a day that will not be cart path only and maybe consider booking you tee time first thing in the morning so the groups will not hold up your play .
