Meadowbrook Farms Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Sculpted by Greg Norman out of the tall grassland prairies and rice fields west of Houston, Meadowbrook Farms is part of a planned 800-acre residential development headed by Landmark National. Norman's layout includes deep-faced sod bunkers, Lil Prong Creek, and a multitude of oaks, pecans, and sycamores that take the golfer toward greens that are extremely hard.
The lack of parallel holes allows for an open, natural setting that is perfect for golf, especially since Norman didn't favor much reshaping-instead, he used the natural topography of the former rice farm.
Holes of note on the front are the 160-yard No. 6 and the 420-yard No. 9, both accented by the tall native grasses. No. 9 involves wetlands in front of the green, which is tough considering the longish approach.
Several holes on the back can destroy your round, including the narrow, doglegging 395-yard No. 10. It's imperative to find the fairway on this one. And No. 15 is short (340 yards), but is loaded with bunkers that are difficult for the high-handicapped hack.
The best hole of the bunch is perhaps No. 18, a 545-yarder that involves a layup of a canal off the tee and two solid shots to reach the green in regulation.
All told, this one is worth the investment. The bag drop service is friendly and prompt, and the clubhouse offers affordable amenities, including a great little bar and grill.
Getting there : From Downtown Houston on I-10, drive west to Grand Parkway (Hwy. 99). Take Grand Parkway south to Fry Rd., then turn right. Take Fry Rd. west for approximately 1.3 miles, and the entrance is on the left.

Pace of play
Pace of play was VERY SLOW.
Couple of groups left at the turn this then improved the pace of play.
Played the front 9 in 2:30 hours and back 9 1:45 minutes.
If pace of play improves we will play again.
Veterans day
Fairways perfect. Greens rolled true but super slow with the overseed “no cut” still in force. Great great hot deal for 72 bucks
Very mediocre over priced
Course condition was very mediocre
Dead spots on several greens
No cart girl on a Friday 10AM-2PM
Round was 4h40m
$140 green fee
No cost benefit for walking aka not using golf cart
Great Course
I typically avoid Meadowbrook because of the price but it was a little more reasonable on this Friday afternoon. They had recently overseeded the greens so they were slower than normal but still in great shape. I really appreciated the little things like having sunscreen in the locker room. Very nice touch.
Patience and Time and….get real
Had a hotdeal $75 at notmally $130. Hotdeal was for 150pm. I was at course at 1130am. Thought maybe no hassel to get out earlier. Nope. Despite NOBODY on the course. Nah man. You have to wait til 150pm. Okay. No problem. I chilled. Lovely afternoon. Very good course. Go ahead - Drive your brains out…..but small greens await. Lits of fun. Greens were exelent.
Pricey
For $140 round after taxes i would expect better conditions on the tee boxs and bunkers.
Fairway was decent and greens were decent.

First time playing here beautiful course beautiful layout a few greens were patchy but all in all a very nice course definitely recommend
Good course but too expensive
This course is fun, but not worth the money. I got it on a hot deal and it was still $60 on a weekday. Course had been aerated within the last week or so no mention of that. If you can play for less than $50 go for it.
