Great Value for a Decent Track
Fairly wide open layout is great for those who tend to spray it around off the tee. Fairways and greens are generally in decent condition. Pace of play for a public course on the weekends is pretty good. Given the relatively low cost its a great value outside of the city.
Good course right outside the city
Course had a few patches of water from rain earlier in the week. Other than that course was very enjoyable. Will definitely play again.
Good course but rain this year has left a lot of mud hole in fairways
There are a few water damaged areas that need repair but I enjoyed course layout. Personally i just had my best score ever here yesterday.
This course is in need of a makover
The course is very easy and usually in poor shape but it was in fair condition this time. It is extremely inexpensive and that is why we play it.
We regret to hear the course conditions were not up to expectations, we do hope you give us another try. Come back soon!
the course has some good holes, but is pretty easy.
course was in great shape some damaged areas but overall in decent shape
Thanks so much for playing at The Meadows Golf Club!

Thanks for your recommendation! We can't wait to see you again.
Round of golf
The course was in okay shape , staff awesome and it was a beautiful day.
Glad our staff made your round that much more enjoyable. We hope you come back and see us soon!
Great deal
Other than the ranger following my foursome it was great
Thanks so much for playing at Meadows GC we're happy to hear you enjoyed the course. We hope the ranger wasn't too much of a bother.
Great value
This is probably the best deal of any course near the city. 30-40 minute drive, 18 holes with cart for around $25, and a legit par 71 with some length. The pace of play isn't great due to groups of 2 not being put in foursomes, but otherwise not a single complaint. Some advice, stay on the fairway!!! The rough is brutal.
Thanks so much for the review! We're happy to hear you got a great deal playing here! Come back and see us.
Good Value Weekend Course
We have had a permanent tee time at The Meadows for 5 years now. And though it is not Mistwood, Cantigny or Bollingbrook it is a nice fun course with good greens. For the average weekend golfer I believe this course fits the bill for playability and overall enjoyment at a great value. We play early and the pace of play is usually very good. Teddy the young man who works there is courteous and always asking the golfers for their input. The rest of the staff is great as well.
Betty the manager has done a good job upgrading the sand traps. For those who say the course is to easy, I say congrats on paring it.
Terry R
Thanks Terry! So happy to hear you enjoy the course, thanks for your loyalty and we are glad we can provide a great experience year after year.
Great hot deal!
Nothing fancy about this place but the greens were in pretty good shape. Definitely worth the $10 hot deal I found. Pace was great, played in under 4 hours and staff was friendly.
Glad you found a good deal. Hope to see you again soon!
Good course for the money
Grass just mowed clumps of grass everywhere. Trees down cut up but branches everywhere from the storm. Ruff very thick. You must hit the fairway to have a chance at par. Links course but narrow fairways. 10-12$ is good price. I will play again.
Come back soon! Glad you enjoyed the course beside some of the hiccups from the storm. Clean up time!
Good Course for the Price
Played any early morning round and was able to complete the round in a little over 3 hours. Straight forward links style layout with enough water to keep you honest. The greens were in great shape but a few fairways seen better days, but staff said they are working to improve that. Would play here again because it is one of the better golf values in the Chicago area.
Excellent! We're so happy to hear it, come back again real soon. Happy to hear the pace of play was on par.
Good Value
Played this course for the first time yesterday. The course was in good condition and the greens were very good too, for a public course. Not an extremely difficult course, but fun to play. Great value for the price.
Glad you had fun at Meadows Golf Club!
Slow Slow Slow
Didn't mind playing here, besides the unavoidable backups on every tee box. Was a holiday weekend, but regardless, pushing 6 hours to finish 18 holes - while every group on the course was using a golf cart - is kind of ridiculous. This was my first time playing this course, and the course conditions were pretty good. Some unattended ball marks, but with it being busy, that is expected at a busy course. Unless you can find it on golfnow for under $25, don't waste your time.
Thanks for leaving your feedback We regret to hear the pace of play was a little slow on your round. We do hope you come back and enjoy another round soon.
Slow...
Had a 11:08 tee time and because they decided to run an outing off the back they tried to get players making the turn and starting tee times off simultaneously it was a mess. For a single, I didn't get off the first tee until 11:40. Ridiculous! Course is rough shape. Greens seemed to be dyed green not sure though but they do roll true. Easy layout. I wouldn't spend more than $20 on this course.

golf course with good greens
I like the greens and good course with challenging slopes
rdangoy30,
We are thrilled to hear that you like the course and had a great time playing it. Please come back again very soon!!
All the best,
Meadows GC Management
Decent track, worth $40
Meadows is a decent public course, about exactly what you would expect for the price and the location (so close to the city).
The greens are pretty slow but in solid condition, there are small areas in some fairways that are in terrible shape. But overall, it's in decent condition.
The layout is nice - there are a number of blind teeshots and several holes that make you think.
I'll definitely be back if I can get it on GolfNow for $40 or less on a weekend but definitely not worth playing for ore $$$.

Slow round, course was ok.
Saturday golf. Slow slow slow. Waiting 10-20 minutes between sinking a putt and teeing off the next hole.
Greens were punched and not sanded, which made for interesting, bumpy putts. Second cut was pretty rough. Lost a few balls a few feet off the fairway.
Course layout was pretty nice. A few challenging holes, a few cakewalks. Staff all seemed really nice.
Is a poor pace-of-play standard here? I booked a tee time at 9:48 for Saturday, but I can't afford to do a 5+ hour round.
We are so sorry for the slow pace of play during your round. We hope this did not negatively influence your experience on our course.Thank you for your feedback, we do hope you come back to play again.
Good value
This was the first nice day so the course was crowded. However the pace was pretty good. Greens were too slow but it's only April.
Thanks for playing at Meadows Golf Club ! We're really glad you came out especially this early in the season. Hope to see you lots more this season!
