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.

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.

Great course

Best fairways I’ve ever played on. Overall the course is a treat. Very tough though especially if it’s windy.
