The Meadows

Starters did and excellent job of helping us with an extra person listed on tee time. Playing partner does not like golfing with others yet as she is just starting out.

Thanks so very much.

Great course but also pretty difficult. The fairways are very tight and if you aren't accurate good luck finding your ball. Fun course to play a 4 man scramble but im not sure Ill be back to often. Other challenging courses that are a little more forgiving in the area.

This is one of the best conditioned courses in Michigan.

Great greens and fairways.

Kudos to the maintenance team.

Heard good things so had to check it out for myself. Well maintained, especially for being so late in the year. Fun and challenging. Great clubhouse. Nice carts. Can’t ask for more Definitely one of the best in the area.

If you don’t live in the Allendale area it not worth the drive. Plenty of other courses on the way with better value.

Wet, sloppy, it was awful. Tried to play 18, 4.5 hours in had to skip the last 3 holes because I could not stay out over 5 hours for 18. They paired us up with 2 singles. It took forever. I was a little upset that I didn’t realize the golf discount was for noon or later tee times.

The guy at the counter wasn’t very helpful with having a 10:40 tee time. It was late October and the course was all hacked up and rough cut down for winter and on and on. A common courtesy would have been to accept the certificate the hour 20 early. That isn’t even what made it so aweful. They were slow and it was a trashed course. Horrible. I’ll never go again. I’d rather pay and play at the many great courses nearby.

I play The Meadows 2 or 3 times a year. The course has an outstanding rating and is currently rated as #23 in the US for college courses. I have found that the course usually has very good conditions and is fun to play.

I do find that the rough is often very long and very easy to lose balls close to greens and fairways. Also, the deep rough is very penal, usually a lost ball for sure. Since I don't play the course that often, I am not always sure the best direction and required distance to avoid the most dangerous spots. I like the concept of deep rough, but would prefer a thinner, wispier rough, that would still be penal, but you could play out of. there would still be about a 1/2 stroke penalty, but less lost balls and time spent looking for them.

Heavy rain just before tee time. Greens drained well, not so the fairways. Still had fun. Beautiful course.

Unless you're retired or taking time off to play early tee times don't make dinner reservations after golf. You won't make the reservation.

OK I’m playing Quail Ridge down and ETA. That’s a DEA my ETA. ADA Siri just doesn’t get it anyway yeah I played the college course yesterday out in Allendale. Very excellent shape just very wet and today were playing quail ridge down near grand rapids the Eastside. Very same thing I don’t know why they don’t put in good drainage in his modern courses I know Well Pilgrims trains better than this there’s something about the soil or whatever it is I don’t know but ma’am it is wet and we only had frost last weekend. We had a couple inches of rain so but anyway yeah I played cheap. They’re 13 bucks medals today. The wife and I each paid 30 but still very nice out joy the foliage, the college kids are all over the place were as Quail Ridge just some small old golfers , but we’re having a good time then some young ones are slow till they gotta get down and look at their butts just like they’re Cupka or tiger or anybody else thinking that they’re pros but they can’t do crap by the $500 drivers and I can’t hit it straight you know what it’s all about my wife is sitting here just just laughing at me anyway already left a review so this is my second one so it’s just extra Burbage on my Siri message me and Mrs. Siri so I will see you next time
