Walked

Greens are in great shape ...

Walked 18 in gusty winds which made some of the holes quite long and challenging.

Still a few wet areas but overall the course is in great condition and the greens are very good, soft enough to stop the ball on but firm and fast enough for putting. A week ago they were slow as they were growing in and we not cut as tight.

Bunkers, tees and fairways are all well maintained and was nice to have water stations out as it was in the 80's and a warm walk.

Great Course, Challenging but Fair

I live the Meadows for playability and course conditions. As a 12 handicap, I look for a sub-80 round as my measure of a great day! There are some holes that are birdieable, but none “easy.” They turned #1 into a par 4. It used to be drive, long iron or 3H or 5 metal. I had a great drive 7 iron down wind to shallow green. Gotta have a great short game as #16 is the same difficulty driver, driver off the deck into strong wind and had 20 yards left as caught rough in front of green. Ya better be able to chip and putt!

Excellent Course, but a Little Crowded

When I am looking to play a round of golf, I am usually hesitant to look at Meadows because it is always so jam-packed as 4-somes. But it’s often the only option if I want to play at 4pm on a Monday when other courses are booked up with leagues. Excellent quality course with icy-fast greens, top-notch holes, though mostly flat but plenty of water, sand and fescue. I don’t feel that I am forced to strategize too often, but that’s typical of all golf courses.

SATURDAY ROUND

The rough was difficult and play was a bit slow due to a junior outing. also, the greens on the back nine were chewed up with a lot of ball marks from the kids playing earlier
