You’ll Have Fun, But Don’t Expect Great Conditions

13 handicap, only including that as a reference point for your own comparison by skill level and experience.

Don’t play if there have been heavy rains in the morning, the course has poor drainage. If it rained heavily overnight (like it did for my most recent round) you’ll be fine, you’ll just encounter some pooling, but nothing unplayable.

Good layout, not amazing. They reversed the 9’s. What was once the first tee is now 10 and the 10th tee is now 1. The ranger said they did this for pace of play. Pace was a little slow for a 7:10am start.

Some tee boxes are super beat up and need a lot of love, but you’ll manage. A number of greens (3 maybe 4) have odd sand splotches. It looks like an old cup that didn’t grow back correctly and so they filled it with sand. They’re only about an inch deep. Unless they were directly in your line, we didn’t notice them.

Worth it for the price, but nothing spectacular. The staff is very friendly!

Meadows 🗑️

Actually become the lowest quality golf course in all of the chicagoland area. $60 this summer is beyond hilarious. Waters edge prices with grammarschool football fields for fairways.😂😂😂

Nice quick greens.

The greens were in great shape and quick except for one hole which had multiple damage holes which I assume were from an animal. Sand traps were consistent throughout the course.

Not what you pay for

Paid for a cart but was made to join a group of 3,6 hours to play 18 holes. Way to overcrowded! Would suggest not playing on Sunday.

Open layout!

Fun track if you’re looking for a confidence builder. Can’t get into too much trouble and the layout is open! Currently the rough is playing like deep deep rough. Very hard to find your ball when it’s just off the fairway. Would recommend if looking to have fun.

This course was not worth the savings

The course double booked threesomes and foursomes at the same times when we arrived at 11:00. Did not tee off until noon and there was two other groups behind us with the same tee time as ours.

Wet weather
Walked

will come back

played course for 1st time, solo on a wet tuesday. played/walked blue tees, some tough par 4s on the back, par 3s were all 170+ yds, par 5s were pretty straight-forward. not much in way of water hazards, which is ok. rough was tough, had rain last few days so they didnt get chance to cut much of it, few times had to just hack way forward. good course, good challenge, will come back again.
