Rating Snapshot
About
Meadows Golf Club in Lincoln Park offers a casual and enjoyable round for players of all skill levels. For more of a challenge, golfers can try the blue tees while the white and the red tees are more forgiving of errant shots. The course sprawls across mostly flat terrain but there are a few subtly elevated greens to contend with. The layout is situated amidst native wetlands, which come into play on many of the holes. The back nine is more challenging than the front, with the toughest hole being the par-5 13th. At 455 yards, it's not a long hole but there are two large fairway bunkers and an elevated green that is surrounded by even more sand. The best view on the golf course can also be enjoyed from the middle of the green on this hole.

Was Cautious Before Playing
Most of the reviews I read after booking the round, were negative. I even thought of canceling my round after reading them. But I am glad I gave it a chance. Although the course played short (played off the 'whites'), the pin placements on the greens made the course a lot more challenging. I liked how the course had true doglegs and also water along side some of the holes, which made you had to hit your tee shot in one direction. Was a nice good challenging course. Will try to play it again later in the season. Staff was wonderful.

Played Meadows for the first time in 2 years and I am pleasantly surprised by how much this course has improved. The starter was extremely accommodating and the course was in fantastic shape. Great value for money and really fun track for all skill levels. I will be back!

Overpriced
Course is overpriced for what it is. $60 walking $70 cart on a weekday is a lot for a course in this condition. You can get courses for $45-55 walking in much better condition but I played here since it was most convenient for me this day. The course has never really been a well maintained course but it’s definitely improved from years past. It could use some more TLC but I think a mix of the location with the floods and the high amount of play makes it hard to achieve. My biggest issue with the course would be the price, it’s more of a $35-40 walk course on a weekday at least. I don’t think I would return unless I really had to play and other courses in the area were booked up. They also have a putting green and chipping area which is nice, but no range if you were expecting that.

5 hour round
Course could use a ranger out there to keep things moving. The foursome 2 ahead of us killed our round
Hello, Kevinwood. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Meadows Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
This course is too dangerous. Be careful, we saw balls coming at us from everywhere
Hi u000007444017,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Never again
This course is a joke. First off, inside some customer was yelled at by the staff and told not to use the website to book. The customer, as we were, were so confused why we are being told not to use their official website to book. We head outside and now there are like 7 people on the tee. We walk up and find out that the 3 some set for 730/740 was pushed by a group of 3 people who didnt say when their tee time was. They didnt check with the people inside. It seemed as if they just came from the parking lot and played. Instead of going back inside and getting yelled at we just sat there and let this group of 3 jump the group that was supposed to be ahead of us. This place is such a comedy show, its embarrassing. On top of all the antics the prices are HIGH. They charge a $2.50 golfer convenience fee per golfer whether you cancel or not. Talk about junk fees! I wont return until these prices come back down to $30 walking. I would rather go play bergen county courses for $31 walking during the week.

The course needs to have a ranger out on the course.
2 things.
1. We were 4 groups behind 4 walking men that were too slow. We were slowed by this group and there was no one on the course from the clubhouse to tell them to pick up the pace or to even skip a hole. We could see by the time that group was teeing off on 16 there was no one ahead of them on the 16th, on the 17th or on the 18th. the whole day would have been much better if the course monitored the pace of play.
2. There were no distance marking on the course. Someone could place them on each hole or on the cart path in less than a few hours. No excuse for no markings.

Fivesome
The course played nearly five hours. There was a fivesome in front. We called they said that should not be. But then did nothing about it

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Hi, kpm262. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Meadows Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Fair at best
The course conditions here have improved, however there is plenty of room for improvement. The greens were so heavily sanded and aerated that they were hard and slow. The tee boxes were hard soil as well. The fairways are pretty tight with frequent interference from other golfers chasing their balls. Generally speaking the course was fair.
