Meadowlark Golf Course

Probably one of the best forest preserve courses around

Course is in great shape for a forest preserve course.

I booked a 10 AM teatime and they wouldn’t let me get out until 1030. I’m not quite sure how this works but when you make a teatime at 10 AM you should be able to go at 10 AM. Very unorganized and unfriendly staff.

Liked it but pace has to be better with a ranger. Decent cut fairways, greens a bit slow.

No bunkers. Just a little water. Long from blue. I feel for the money and that its not too busy early, this is a great way to keep fresh quickly or build back confidence after a rough outing. Challenging due to the length, but well maintained and fun.

Played morning of July 4th with some friends. Staff was great, easy to check in. Staff did a great job spacing out tee times. Good course, great condition.

I told the person at the grille that there was one group on #6 that was so slow, there was no one else in front of them on the course. 9 holes took almost 3 hours! Otherwise it was an enjoyable round. Something must be done to keep pace of play.

I took my wife here for her first time on a course after several lessons. The layout was perfect for her to get multiple swings on each hole but still give the satisfaction of being able to actually complete 9 holes. I shot a 42 and my wife shot a 71. We went later in the afternoon 6:00 PM CST and had no problems with pace.

The slow play affected my game and prevented me from replaying. You would think that people would play quicker to limit their exposure to the Canadian fires but they seemed to play slower. I was wheezing by night from being outside so long.

Friendly staff and good layout and reasonable condition. It is a good practices course for beginners.
