Meadowlark Golf Course

Took 5 hours and 30 minutes to play a round of golf with a cart. We had to wait on every hole. Some holes up to 25 minutes.

Good fun course with some challenging holes and greens. Playable for newer golfers yet still with some challenges for the more experienced.

FIRST TIME PLAYING COURSE. FROM DESK GUY CHEWING TOBACCO AND NOT HELPFUL. NOTHING GOLF WISE ABOUT THE COURSE MATTERED BECAUSE WE WERE GREETED AT THE 14TH HOLE AND TOLD WE COULD NOT PLAY HOLES 14-18 BECAUSE "IT GETS DARK OVER THERE????" INSTEAD WE COULD REPLAY #1 AND #2 OR #8 AND #9. IT WAS ONLY 430PM. I BOOKED THEIR TEE TIME AT 142PM. IF GOING AT ABOVE AVG SPEED AND NOT STOPPING FOR ANYTHING GOT ME CUT OFF AT 430PM ON HOLE 14, THEN THEY NEED TO HAVE THEIR LAST TEE TIME AT A TIME WHEN YOU CAN PLAY ALL 18 RIGHT BEFORE ITS TOO DARK BY THEIR TAKE. AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN TOLD I CANT PLAY CERTAIN HOLES FOR ANY REASON. I PAID FOR 18 HOLES. AND MY SON AND I SHOULD PLAY 18 IF WE CAN DO IT BEFORE THEY SHUT EVERYONE DOWN. RIDICULOUS TO PLAY HOLES TWICE TO NONE OF A FEW. THE OLD GUY WANTED TO GO HOME IS GUARANTEED WHAT TOOK PLACE. TERRIBLE P.R.

Course is in good shape now. Greens are also in good shape. I like that the ladies tees are significantly shorter. There is enough challenge with some of the holes and greens for more accomplished golfers to have fun as well.

Course lacked proper maintenance-- many areas were hard pan and/or mud with no grass. Some green areas were roped off for over protection of local residents and their privacy. There was no water to clean equipment. I.e. golf balls. There were not enough carts to furnish to players--- staff continue to ask to return cards ASAP. The twosome we play with--their cart went dead on the third hole. They didn't mention that greens were aerated and almost all greens were impacted. Escalated price does not equal to value of what I paid. I will seriously scrutinize whether I will play here every day again.

Booked online with cart and when I arrived was told the cart will shared with a real friendly guy, which is fine with me. Well, when I got to the cart, the friendly guy didn’t want to share the cart, until he was told me had to. Great- now I got a guy who doesn’t want me in the cart I paid for, for 18 holes. Sometime mid-round, a random guy came to my green and said “can I have my ball back?” I’m using a red ball, maybe he was too? Told him I was playing my ball, and my friendly cart buddy, testifies he saw me tee off with that red ball and is certain I’m playing my ball. The random accuser didn’t apologize said nothing and walked away. Rude, Classless people play here who probably shouldn’t play gentlemen’s game of golf. No etiquette whatsoever. The slow group ahead of us was so slow, couldn’t finish in 5 hours with no one ahead of them.

I’ve played at Meadowlark for over 25 years. The management of the course should be fired! The course conditions were horrible! It was a cow pasture! Standing water ALL over the place(including bunkers) & no it hadn’t rained in a long time. Greens were punched, nothing said when making reservations; ground under repair on every hole, but no actual repairs. Carts cost $14 per player and you carts with trash, damaged seats (tears, cracks, etc.); we walked. It’s evident that the management only cares about getting paid and not putting any money back into the course. I’ll play other courses that care about their courses.

Ground had many were spots and very soft.

Greens were recently aerated and full of sand. Greens were very poor. I wish we had been notified prior to starting as I may have chosen a different course.

Overall I was very disappointed in conditioning but I would play the course again in a month. Quite challenging from blues and I believe will play better the next time.

Recently punched greens, otherwise same as always. solid but nothing special.
