Great Value
The Meadows offers a fair but challenging links layout at a very affordable rate. The course was in very good condition, with the greens and fairways in top shape. The tee boxes were pretty good as well, although a couple were off level. We played on a early Sunday morning which may be the cause for no beverage cart on the course - not great on a warm July day.

Over 5-Hours for 18. No Ranger??
Two people in front of the group in front of us were hitting about 3 or 4 off the tee box on every hole. No ranger to stop them or make them let others play thru. Over 5-hours to play 18 with a cart. We were all waiting on every shot. Nobody in front of the doorknobs for 4 holes. We should have passed them, played the rest of the holes and got our money back.

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.
