Great course period

Playable yet challenging. Maintenance was top shelf. Greens rolled true. Multiple tee boxes for every level. Backdrop with the football stadium on game day is unbelievable. ONLY recommendation is keep the clubhouse open until all players have made it in.

Phenomenal course.

Perfect day on the links

The Meadows was in very good condition, we were paired with 2 nice young guys and had a lot of fun. The round had decent pace, 4 hr and 15 min.

We will be back to play again .

Great Value

Very challenging course from the blue tees. Lost a few balls in the rough where the grass was too long. Overall a great value and would highly recommend.

Great layout.

Not too long, but this is a shot-makers course. You have to the in the right spots to score well. The green were receptive and rolled perfectly. Avoid the long grass areas and don't go long over the greens and you should do well.

Great fun

I've wanted to play here for a long time and now I know why. The course was in great shape. The price was fantastic. The starter let us start early. What's not to love. The course was also in very good shape.

Overbooked

Management wouldn’t let us play our round as a 2some and we Didn’t want to play with strangers for 4 hours so we left. They didn’t say anything about paring us up with another 2some when we made the tee time. All they want is to cram as many players on the course as they can and it’s all about the money..

Finally

I've wanted to play here for a long time. Things just didn't work out. Now that I have, I wish that I would have done it a lot sooner. This is one of the best courses in GR and I can't wait to play there again. The greens were faster than I'm used to, but they roll true. It's the best course, overall, that I've played in a long time.
