Meadows Golf Club
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.

Bees and Browns
Pace of play was good for walking but two major issues:
- one whole has 100’s of carpenter bees swarming around the sand trap. Serious health issue if you are allergic to bees
- greens are not well maintained and over 50% has brown/dead grass
Starting to show wear
I played The Meadows many times over the years. It's typically a nice little course that you are able to get out a play a round with late notice. The history of the course is because the course is in low area a few days of heavy rain, it takes a few days for the course to recover. I played 4 weeks ago and the course never looked better but with all of the dry weather the course is showing it's wear. the Tee boxes, and greens need a lot of help, buckers are dirt and rock with no sign of sand to be found in them. I hope the can make improvements because i really like this course but it's becoming unplayable.
Progressively worse
The course conditions have gotten progressively worse over the current year. Grounds up keep is horrible. One hole in particular I think 7 might have had the worst tee box I’ve seen in my life.
Course conditions not great
The fairways were ok, but the tee boxes were terrible. It was tough to find a spot on the tee boxes where the turf was consistent. We had to be very careful to pick a spot where we could get a flat stance and our feet weren't on bare dirt, causing people to lose their balance on the tee shot. As for the greens, they were super slow. I'd put them at 7 or 8 on the stint meter. There had been no rain in the area for 3 days, but I don't think they rolled the greens at all.
Bad conditions
Fairways were terrible most all had large areas of brown grass. Some greens also had large burnt grass areas had
Had to move ball to find good putting surface. Very slow play we stopped after 9 holes due to the excessive waiting
Between golf shots.
Well maintained public course
The only downside are the really slow greens.
But staff was overwhelming in going out of its way and help out to solve a problem of mine.
Boring redundant course and not in good condition, won't go back. All holes basically the same short par 4, and the par 5s should be 4s... You can play morris country courses for same price that are in way better shape. Staff was very nice at least and pace was great because midweek and 90°.
