February golf

This course is always well taken care of. The course or any course in February is what you expect it to be this time of year. I always enjoy playing here.

Booked a tee time… course closer

Would not go back. Booked a tee time with a cart and when I arrived the course was closed and all the carts were locked up. Extremely unprofessional to post tee times and have the course closed. I paid up front and did not get money back

Meadowlark

The lay out for 9 hole course is good. It has some long drives that makes it challenging for a novice like me. Didn’t feel pressured by other golfers and the pace just right. They could have done a better job blowing the leaves the greens specially the 9th hole. Also, the bathrooms looked like they have never been clean.

Fun Course

The course and greens in good condition. A longer track, but no bunkers so a good challenge.

Windy weather
Walked

Pace of play was okay

Rain everywhere else but not this course. Finally, decent pace of play. Lots of acorns in some spots. Lots of leaves falling but just as likely to help as hurt.

Slow!

No starter, no ranger, so 3 hours for 9! Otherwise it was fine. Only other problem was acorns in some spots. But, come on, pace of play means no second round.

Nice long nine hole course

Meadowlark is the longest nine hole course in Illinois at y 3,402 yards from the back tees .

Greens are true just slow need to be rolled

Course is long with both par 3’s over 200 yards the two par5’s are challenging number 2 at 460 with a slight dog leg left the other number 6 is a beast at 573. This is not your normal nine hole course.

The price I paid was good.

The only negative was the pace of play. It too long for most older or newer golfers so the really need to play the red tees here.

It was over two hours twenty min two slow

For me waiting every hole.

So nice course not

Fancy but pick an off peak time to visit or you will play slow lots of slow walkers

First Time Playing

Great course even better staff awesome day.

Great course Scott was extremely helpful explaining the course prior to our round. Bought a hat at the clubhouse that was a bit dusty from sitting and Scott took the time to clean it up before cutting the tags for me and set us up with a good group as We walked the first 9 and Scott informed us we could play again anytime on the same day for 12 bucks and this time the cart was included. Our tee time was 930 took us almost 3 hours to walk through. Very nice course forgiving wide open fairways. No sand and minimal water max the course very fun to play for beginners. Greens were a tad bit slow but well kept. Went home ate took a nap called in and spoke to Steve who said come on in got there at 4 and got a cart and starter Bruce paired me up with a great younger group and had a awesome round that finished right at sundown. Couldn’t ask for a better day of golf at this course. Would come back in a heartbeat

Leisure Course

Great cheap 9 holes. Greens are just painfully slow and thick. Other than that pace of play is always awesome and laid back. Staff is always so nice and helpful
