Great Course

Meadows is always a great course to play, just a little slow on the pace and backup this weekend we played but normally not an issue otherwise. Greens looked great, and course is well maintained.

Suprisingly nice course

I had no knowledge of the Meadows course before playing it last week. To my surprise I found out that it's hosted many NCAA Division I Championships over the years. The course offers a little of everything, blind shots, difficult bunkers, and some subtle humps and hills that hide collection areas or small creeks.

A nice layout with great greens. For $32 with a cart, you cant beat this place if your in the Grand Rapids, Mi area. I highly recommend it.

Great course. Slow greens.

Wonderful course it’s one of my favorites and the greens are usually pretty fast but not that day. It was early when we played so the grass hadn’t grown to slow the ball. Usually they run 10-11 on a Stimpmeter but that day it was probably around a 7. Other than that it was fun and love the course. Don’t bring any cash as it’s a cash free course everywhere even in the bar area.

Great course

Friendly clubhouse staff which is a reflection of the head pro imo, starter/ rangers should probably patrol a bit more. Greens are very good w plenty of pace especially in the afternoon when the prevailing wind off nearby Lake Michigan winds get up. Prevailing winds are typically quartering either R-L or L-R across most of the course but the 4 par 3s are all into the wind.The tee yardages give one plenty of choices to suit the length of one's game . The patrons could use some instruction on how to rake bunkers and even some reminders to rake them after use..

Not really a complaint but the course doesn't have forced carries or elevation changes other than a minimal drop on 17.

Overall I rec'd it highly, it's a good stroke play course and match play as well imo
