We got paired up with two others to fill the tee time. One guy was great, talkative and engaging. The other guy not so much. Brought the vibe down for sure. We aren’t the best golfers but out there to have fun. Second 9 holes got backed up pretty quickly (and it was down to just us two, the other two guys bailed) and we had to wait a good ten minutes at every hole just to tee off.
That being said, the course itself is beautiful.

Excellent course! My only complaint was the ruff was very long. It made it difficult to find some of our drives. The prior time I played it was much shorter.

Great Course - Awesome Greens - Slow Pace
The Meadows is a wonderful golf course! Since the change in Superintendents, the greens are the best in the area. I truly enjoy playing the Meadows with the exception of pace of play! I have NO idea why a course lets people play in 4:30 to 4:40 per round. If a group gets 2-3 holes behind another group, have them skip holes until they make up the stagger.

If your ball landed off of fairway, good luck finding it. Secondary cuts way too long.
