A Good day on the golf course

This is a short course but challenging enough

Hooked up with a really nice couple

The Peale that work there are extremely nice

The condition of the course is the best we’ve seen since we arrived March 1st

From T boxes to fairways to greens

We are a 40 min drive away but keep going back for all of the reasons above

Highly recommended

Best Course In Town

Whether your travelling and trying new courses or live local, this course is amazing!!!!! It's always fun and they have a lot of par 3's. Each fairway is short but challenging. This has become one of my go to courses. The golf carts are really nice and comfortable. However the GPS on golf carts can hinder you when close to a green next to bunkers. The GPS has the power to completely stop the cart and leave you pushing it back to fairway and slows you down automatically when your on the move, but overall it's an amazing and fun course!!!!!! I love this course!!!!

Fun day

I golfed with a friend and his group at The Meadows on 3/23. I also golfed The Groves a few weeks ago. Both courses are in great shape and although The Groves is an executive course that’s the most challenging course I’ve ever played. The lady who checked us in (from Illinois) was really nice and made everyone feel welcomed. Both courses are just beautiful and payed out very well. I will definitely play there again. Great bang for the buck. Thanks
