Course was great

Layout was great, more challenging holes mixed with some simpler shots. Only downside, no ball wash stations.

Fantastic conditions.

Walked 18 in 3 hours as first off. Course very wet from the rain but fantastic greens!

Bunkers are washed out and will be back to normal, hopefully soon - no fault of the grounds crew who are out there working hard.

Played last week with a first time visitor (to Michigan) from Ohio who was stunned at how nice the course was and plans to be back.

Course is well marshaled and the water bucket for towels at 1 & 10 tee is a nice touch.

Never Disappoints !

It was another beautiful day of golf at The Meadows! The course must be well managed because it always seems to be consistently cared for. They had been hosting a USGA event so it was in exceptional condition. A sunny, low-humidity day always makes for a good golf game!

Will play again!

My son will be a Freshman this fall at GVSU, first time both of us played The Meadows. Overall, a great experience, definitely recommend and we'll be back. The pin placement charts for each hole were very beneficial. Only recommendation is to make score card more definitive for the creeks that run in front of 1 and 18 greens.
