Tough but great
First time playing. Just an average golfer looking to try a new course. Course was beautiful. Fairways were wide but greens were so quick. Will play again. Staff were awesome. Not a lot of rough outside of the tall grass, where if you have a wide shot, you will have a difficult time finding a ball. But just great.

Pace off play
I was paired up with a group off 2, the 4 some on front off us was super slow. Took 50 mins to play 3 holes. It needs to be watched more, or have a ranger

Love The Meadows
I had another very good experience playing at The Meadows. This was my fourth time this year. The course is always in great shape. The wind was up which made it more challenging. But the course is fair and a great value. I'd heartily recommend it.

Great course to challenge your golf playing skills.
I play this course because it demands quality golf to score well. It is part of the Grand Valley State University campus and is where the college golf team plays and prepares for collegiate tournaments.

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.

Everything & everyone was great except the pace of play.
