Meadows Golf Club
About
Located in the Southwest Metro area, the golf course at the Meadows Golf Club has a links-style layout that provides a challenging and fun game for all golfers. The trio of Bradford Benz, J. Michael Poellot, and Richard Phelps designed this municipal, 18-hole course. It is just over 7,000 yards and plays to a par of 72. The course is situated against the foothills of the Rockies, providing nice views along the course. The risk-and-reward layout of the course features water hazards and bunkers. Meadows Golf Club's signature hole is the par-3, 8th hole, which require a shot over water to a well-bunkered and extremely sloped green.

1/3 of fairways recovering from winter kill. sand traps underwater or muddy due to rainy spring. few areas of muddy and/or underwater. course needs more time to recover. greens were hard.
Poor conditions
We have had A LOT of rain this year. The greens on the front 9 are missing about 1/3 of the grass very patchy and looks burnt out. How is this possible? There is no true roll bc they are soo terrible. There was a 50’ section of a fairway under water so they entire course was walking only, despite the course having full cart paths. Clearly just bad management. At $55 to walk I would suggest finding another course to play.
The Meadows Course Condition
For the most part the course was ok. We only played the back nine, and the fairway grass was consistently thin with a lot of barren spots, so we just moved our ball to a grassy patch. I suspect it will fill in better later in the summer.
I was only in one trap and it was rock hard (#18). They need to refill them with some decent sand.
Greens were a bit inconsistent, but typically hard and fast. A bog was formed in front of the 14th green which you couldn't hit out of. They should mark it ground under repair.
It had rained heavily the night before so the course was walking only which is no big deal. However the pace of play was 6.5 hours. We teed off at 1:10 pm and finished around 7:30 pm. It was brutally slow. The course was in decent shape. There is still a ton of winter kill in the fairways. There aren't a ton of quality lies in the fairways because of this. Otherwise the course played great. The rough was at fair height and for an afternoon tee time the bunkers were well raked.
Great, challenging course!
Course design was great. Very challenging. There was some winter kill but that is not the courses fault so it should not effect the review. Look forward to playing again once the course recovers from our long snowy winter.
What the &:#**# happened???
One of my favorite courses in Denver for 30 years. It’s turned into a goat track. Worst turf conditions I’ve ever seen at a quality golf course. Winter kill everywhere, but their weather hasn’t been any different from dozens of other courses on the south side that are in gorgeous shape! So disappointing. Will probably take until next year to recover.
Bad grass
The greens were terrible. For the money the course conditions were awful. It was like putting on a dirt road. With the amount of rain and playing other courses this one was the worsed by far.
Greens
Patchy greens in front nine
A few bumps
The rain should help
Go elsewhere
Course conditions were less than desirable, hard fairways with lots of hard pack dirt and some to no grass. Greens were even worse with lots of winter rot or just plain torn up, and terrible to put on. Nothing was flat.
They "Lost" our GolfNow tee time, and if the manager had not walked in and agreed to get us slotted in, the staff was like, we are pretty busy, not sure how that happened.
For the drive from Denver and the course conditions, I would not go back
Course conditions were terrible despite intense rain all spring. Driving range was a goat track. Price was ridiculous given conditions and 4:45 round pace of play haven’t played it in 15 years, used to be a great course very disappointing.
