Nice course at a good price
Well maintained course,with quick greens.Cart paths could use some work
Great courses
It was very good and well-maintained course. The difficulty is moderate.
Decent course
This course could be a bit more challenging but the doglegs left and right and long par 3s make it a great test.
ok for beginners or if you're in the area
This course could be much better if the mgmt. team gave the course a little attention. For example, the cart paths are in need of replacement. And there are several areas on the fairway of several holes that need to be re-surfaced and/or evened out. Overall, it's a nice course.
Thursday Tees and Pins
Havent played here in a while and all the blue tees were at the tips when normally they are up which doesn't help with the yardage given at the tee or the scorecard. I don't have one of those fancy yardage guns so on some of the par 3s we had to just guess the yardage.
Not bad for the price....
Just ok... pace wasn't as bad as I expected, course needs some maintenance but greens were good overall.
features
You better hit the fairways here or you can end up in all kinds of trouble.
A fun track - first time playing it
This was a fun track. The greens are fast, which I really liked.
The par 5's are a bit on the short side, but made it fun for birdie attempts.
Tee boxes were in good shape.
Greens were a bit hard, but if you play knowing that you 'll be fine. You can play a bit more of a pitch and run game.
I had fun and I will likely play it again.
Jerry, the general manager, is great. The course is good for the cost. It usually moves along at a nice pace.
See my summary. One suggestion for improvement is for the rangers/starters not to require players unknown to each other to share carts when they join each other along the way of play. It is very awkward and forces players not to join others, thus slowing down play.
The rangers need to learn how to do their JOB.
The greens were in good condition, and the fairways were cut good but with out rain they were as hard as a rock. The only thing that was not good was the old whining men that was supposed to be the Rangers that did not do their job, a five and a half hour 18 hole round is despicable and unacceptable if you ask me.
Was a very nice course I'd highly recommend
What a great way to spend a few hours on an afternoon at a great course, with friendly staff, and equally pleasant other golfers.
It is not perfect. But, it is great course for the money.
There are some signs of wear and setteling. But, it was under $25 on a weekend. You can't beat the deal. If you want to pay $80 somewhere else, go ahead. But, if you want a deal, and that is why we use golfnow, this is a good course.
Friendlt staff well maintained
We enjoyed the course and the staff was very friendly. They were making improvement when we were there. It was well worth the price.
It's a great value
I have played this course 3 times now, the cost has ranged from $20-25 with a cart. I understand this site used to be a landfill, but it's not garbage to me. It is well maintained throughout, and there are numerous bunkers to catch errant shots. I would recommend The Meadows for the average golfer to enjoy an afternoon.
Bad starters, horrible manager, good ol boys club.
The starters have no clue what they are doing, throwing walkers out in front of people on the turn. The golf manager wouldn't address an issue where a regular golfer there chased me with a club because I skipped them after waiting behind them for three holes, they never bothered to offer me to play through, and they were a five-some. horrible greens and don't ride the cart path if you have a bad back or hemorrhoids.
Good for a quick fix
The course is fine for the money, some of the fairways are pretty beat up but is not like you can't play, the range is nice and like I said, you can't find many courses at this price.
Course is in great shape
Pace was perfect on a beautiful day, after checking in with the ranger we were able to start our round 15 minutes early.
Back nine more difficult than the front
Course was in better than fair condition. The back nine played longer and more difficult than the front nine. Pace the pace of play was slow. Too many golfers taking 15minutues to find their ball instead of dropping. I did get on for $20 through Golf Now, so I can't complain much. Overall a good course, a steal if can play for as low as I did...
Good if you can get it for the right price
Course could use some attention. Pace of play was terribly slow and staff was not interested in speeding any groups up. For the normal green fee of 45 dollars there are a ton of nicer courses in the area. If you can get a good deal on a tee time for around 20-30 dollars then its a good deal. Good course for novices since its very open and forgiving.
Not good
Course was not looked after well. Easy to loose balls just off the fairway and around the greens.
Destination Kohler - Champions' Trail Golf Package
My review was based on MY experience at the course, in both the staff and the condition of the course itself. I am not sure how anyone knows how I act.
I have played the course several times. Everyone seems very nice. I have never had anyone chase me with a club. Then again, I have never had anyone chase me with a club anywhere. You have to love how people like that blame everyone else. If you don't act like you do, people won't chase you with a club.
