Didn't play

They said the course was too wet for carts. I have bad feet from my 24yrs in the military and unable to really walk a course. If I do, I pay a hefty price the next day. I was willing to do so, just to get out with a pull cart, but they didn't have those to rent out as well. I lost out on some money booking it thru GolfNow, Decided to drive about 30 minutes to Lost Marsh and play there instead. Better course, my opinion. Marks and rating don't really reflect this course, but something to put out there, that's all.

Fun Course

I wasn’t sure what to expect from this course but I thought it looked intriguing and I was right. The course doesn’t play too hard but it throws in enough obstacles to make you focus.

The course is full of dog legs, blind shots, tricky sand traps, thick rough placed strategically, and lots of natural hazards. These all ended up giving you a good experience and really not knowing what to expect one hole to another. The par 3’s were all difficult, mix in some long par 4’s and really long par 5’s and you have a good afternoon of golf.

I recommend the blue tees otherwise things get too easy and the tee boxes were a bit chewed up. The worst part was the pace of play, the ranger was no where to be found and there was a huge bottleneck for 14 holes which really impacted things for me.

Mellow meadows

Overall a pretty good course to play. I know it’s early in the season and after days of raining some areas to approach the tee’s we’re very muddy. A couple of holes were you can’t see the green make a good challenge

Early Season Golf

I always enjoy golfing at the Meadows. The season is still early but the course was in decent condition. The fairways were nice and the greens were decent. I had a great putting day even though it had just rained the night before. Outside of puddles on the cart path, this course does well with draining water. A recommended course for the day after rain.

Always Pleased

Love coming here on late afternoons to get a post-workday round in. Staff so flexible and friendly, pace of play always great. Course is not too tough, but not too easy. Helps me practice what I need to for sure. Ball rolls decently on the greens. Generally course can get pretty muddy some days, but you make do. Always pleased with my rounds here.
