Meadows-great value

Nice layout, pretty open. Course took a lot of rain in night before so was cart path only but not overly long course so was fine. To keep pace of play up, course should make it carts only until 11am like some Chicago area placed do!

I couldn't even play! They had no carts available and they were so behind. Not a good place to go.

Meadows golf Course

This was my first time playing the course. There are several blind shots from the tee starting with the first hole; it rises gently completely obscuring the contour of the fairway; you just hit and hope. The greens were in great shape, but a little slow (after a couple hole I figured out the pace). The back is more challenging than the front. The course does not drain well, I've made a mental note to play Meeadows for several days after a heavy down pour. I look forward to playing Meadows Golf course again, and recommend this course. Oh, and, playing from the white tees is roughly 6300 yards, the blue tees is roughly 6600 yards.

Good value

The Meadows course plays about 6,500 yards from the back tees and has a course layout that requires you to use most clubs in your bag. It is not difficult but more challenging than most municipal courses. It is worth playing at the price point.

First time down and dirty fix

Played this course for $20 so the price was right the weather was great. Course was a little too open even for a links style course, need more bunkers and mounds to protect it. Tee boxes a bit bare but the rest of the course was is great condition. Rough was thick in spots and neatly trimmed in spots my friend played there before and said much of the tall grasses 6+inches were mowed down to 3inches making the course play easier than in the past. A good little course when you just gotta have a golf fix.

The Meadows

The greens are in surprisingly good shape from the harsh winter , the course is obviously trying to improve , pace of play is an issue . The meadows is still a good value for the money

First round os 2014

The course was as good as can be expected after a hard winter. I played front 9 and shot a 46. Not many players on a Monday in March to slow me down. It was chilly, but sunny and little wind.

I stopped into club house for a snack. Wait staff were very friendly. Food was good and reasonable. They make home made chili and beef stew. I went and played back 9 (95 over all). The ponds were still frozen over, but I was able to push my tees into the ground. There is no rough yet and lots of proof that geese like the area (especially on the greens).

I recommend the Meadows to anyone wanting to get their first round of the season in. The price is right on GolfNow.

Good Course

Course is good except the greens are average. The are doing major construction currently but course is still very playable. After work is done course should be way better. Overall it is an average course compared to other courses. 4 out of 5 stars is a generous rating. It's not the nicest course around but still challenging.

Keeps Improving

This course keeps improving from the original where the developer did not use enough fill to cover the old dump it was built on. Good links layout and great value for the money. Greens are good, not super fast but not fuzzy and slow like some others in the area.

Great Chicago course.

This course is very well maintained, the fairways and greens are in fantastic shape. They had rangers out moving the pace (played 18 in under 4 hours). This course is way better than playing a Chicago park district course. Will play this course again soon.
