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.

Military Friends Golf Outing

Very nice course for a very good price! Staff from the clubhouse to the bar/restaurant were extremely friendly and helpful. We'd play again without question. Need more "The Meadows" clothing. Lots of GVSU stuff. Nice if you went to GVSU, but I went to Ferris State. That is low on the concern scale!

Very Nice

This is a very nice course, and well worth the price. I believe that the back plays a lot tougher than the front.
