First Time Playing

Beautiful and Challenging course

This was our first visit to the Meadows and we will definitely come back again and play. The course is beautifully maintained and has very pretty vistas. The course offers challenging play with some very tricky bunkers so try best to avoid them. We had the added bonus of fireworks when we playing the hole next to Lubber Stadium. Wish we lived closer but definitely on our list the next time we are in the area.

SLOW

Everything & everyone was great except the pace of play.

Maybe a ranger could be sent out to check on this on occasion?

LOVE the course

Love this course

The Meadows at GVSU is always wonderful to play. The course is fair for all levels of players and in great shape. The greens can be intimidating due to the speed.

Just slow

Very friendly starter stated he likes to keep rounds at 2 hours per 9. I have no problem with that. Our group played fast when we could. The group in front of us was the typical "I think I can reach the green ,I better wait" . After 9 holes and 2½ hours I had other places I had to be so I gave up. I just can't watch players who can't hit 200 off the tee wait to hit into a flag 250 yards away. Mr. Ranger should be hired to move slow players around. I like the course and the staff is amazing. 5 hour rounds are unacceptable.

Tough Track

I played here A LOT back in 2006-2008 when I attended GVSU. Now I play it once a year. at least.

It is a tough course. Links style. A lot of heather not far from the fairways. A lot of ways to lose golf balls.

Conditions are always great.

For some reason they had the greens rolling faster than I have ever seen on my 9/4/24 round. Course is tough enough without super fast greens.

Still a fun place to play if you don't mind tough golf.
