The Meadows Golf Club of Blue Island

I personally like this course, it is short and has a ton of blind shots, but its close to the city and fun to play

The marshal needs to get out there and push the slow golfers along.

Was a nice price. Very friendly employees. But a few problems. 1 st hole hav 3 foursomes waiting before us at our tee time. So sent 1 guy for eats. Half frozen buritos!! Garbage blowing around course everywhere and all cans overflowing. Had a 5 1/2 hour round. But a bad day golfing is better than a good day working!!

The Meadows is a great course for off-season play. Weather permitting, the course is open year-round. Off season rates are reasonable and staff is friendly. Most all of the greens are open so you are playing course-like conditions. Yes, this course is built on top of an old landfill so you will have discolored vegetation and rough spots associated with methane leaks. However, the course layout is intriguing and a little quirky with a couple of blind shots thrown in. This is a workingman's golf course at its finest!

Course in great shape for November. Nobody on course. Played 18 in less than 3 hrs.

The course was in great shape for this time of year. We did the round in 4 hours. Could use more sand in the bunkers. The Golf now site did not accept my promo code however.

This course is pretty open. Which lends itself to beginners but is kind of long. Intermedate golfers will also enjoy.

Play this course occasionally because it's 10 mins from home. Standing water due to recent rain.
Fall rates combined with discount was a great value. Their prime summer rates are way overpriced.

Played with my weekend foursome this past weekend at The Meadows and really had a good time. One partner had never played the course before and the others had not seen the course in years. After our round, all agreed that we would play it again before the season ended. The only issue we had was the back up on the first couple of holes. Hole #1 is a short par 4 and the second hole is tough little par 3. When we finished #1, there was 2 foursomes waiting at #2. A two-some behind us tried to skip #2 but when we got to #3, they were still on the tee box. Course did not open up until the 11th hole. This made it a 5 hour round.

When I checked in, their computer did not show the transaction. They allowed me to play.

The course was in good condition, a few areas had some standing water but overall it was in good shape. The greens were pretty true and a bit quick. Day was perfect and I was paired up with a golfer who had played here many times so he was able to give me the low down on each hole. Even though we caught up to a 4 some at the 10th hole we were only delayed at the last two holes for any length of time. We finished the round in about 3.5 hours. I certainly will be back and with some of the specials that are offered this is a very economical choice for a mid week round.

Course was in good shape. Greens were very good. Staff was very nice and courtesy. Food and service was great. Will be going back again.

Peaceful quite day shot my lowest score to date bears opening day no one out.but the die hard golfers

I golfed this course on a Thursday and went out by myself expecting around a 3.5 hr round or less. Well, at four hours I was on the 12th hole at which point I just left because I didn't have time to golf another slow 6 holes. They had me start on 10 right in the midst of a mens league. On the front nine, I was behind the women's high school golf practice. All four-somes that were all walking. Took an hour to play 3 holes. It was extremely frustrating having a 5-10 minute wait in between shots. They should not have scheduled any tee times while leagues and practices were going on.

Overall, is as good as can be expected for a municipal course. Not the worst but definitely not the best. Pace of play was crazy just because of all the singles on the course. Our foursome would let a single play through, as we should have, but then another single would catch up, and another, and another....it got to the point where it was ridiculous.
A lot of blind holes on this course and with the way the grass is maintained, makes it hard to differentiate between some nearby fairways as yours or another hole.
I would go back if it were free but that is about it.

Was a good day. Course was nice not too rough. Staff was pleasant.

I play this course on average once a week. I''ve never had a problem except for today. The Rangers need to step up and enforce proper golf ettquette by moving slower groups along. My partner and I were 3 holes behind a particular foursome. They must have stopped for lunch because we met up with them at the turn. They would not allow my partner and I (twosome) through. Subsequently, the whole course got backed up waiting on these guys who were taking their sweet time and playing from the blue tees of which they were woefully lacking in skill. It took us an hour longer than normal to play.

The course is built on a landfill which makes it an excellent usage for those who are into environmental friendly concepts. It has few trees but numerous high grass and rough areas. The condition of the course was good but some areas require a little more maintenance.
But as the old sayings goes any day golfing beats being at work.
It was an enjoyable day.

They keep the course in great shape, only issue is, they stack up the tee times, need to have some separation between pairings. Otherwise, the best course to play for the price!

This place was a favorite course a few years ago but recently they started to over price themselves, if you can find a deal on line it's worth it but only with a price cut
