Meadows Golf Club

Once again, was stuck behind an outing of some sort. Left after 5 hours elapsed on the 17th tee box. Never saw a ranger

With Meadows, what you see is what you get: a solid round for a reasonable price. The greens were in great shape, but much of the rest of the course was between overgrown and underseeded. Many tee boxes showed wear and sparse grass, and the fairways had little to distinguish them from rough. However, the routing is interesting, water forces risk / reward shots on many holes and the course is a fair test for the average golfer. Adjoining holes provides bailout options at the risk of other golfers, but if you need a tee time for a nearby course, Meadows is for you.

Strange layout, made more confusing with recent changes on the first nine.

Ball flying all over from adjacent holes. Greens were slow and bunkers had no sand.

Had a nice round there Yesterday, the pace of play was pretty good for a Sunday morning. 4 hours and 10 minutes.

For those of you who like to walk, bring a lot of water, there is none on the course. Also, there is only on bench on the course. It is very walkable though.

In my opinion the course is too cramped. Fairways are too narrow and no separation to divide the fairways. I think for the ability level of the average player here there needs to be woods in between the fairways at the least. They are So narrow that on many hole you are risking injury form errant shots coming towards your hole, not the par 3’s, but you have players from neighboring holes playing off your fairway- often times players from 2 holes playing off your fairways OFTEN hitting right at you. Too dangerous. When players don’t know, they lack the ability level and instead of just picking up their ball or just hitting it directly back onto their fairway, they’re trying to Jordan Spieth the ball thinking they’re still gonna get on in two strokes but now they’ve just hit it further down the wrong fairway directly towards us where we’re waiting for them to hit so we can play our second shot. Happened on numerous holes. On the first hole a par 5 after our drives we went down to our balls. At that time we were in the line of fire of players playing off our fairway to their green- players behind them from that same hole teeing off if our direction also and players from another tee box teeing off right into us. We were in the line of fire of not 2 but 3 foursomes. Trying to keep track of 12 players, and their balls was too tall in order. And for $75 around that that’s about double with this course is worth. I would say that the staff is about the best I’ve ever encountered, but that’s not enough for me to come back. It’s too dangerous. And that’s just the first hole. For the rest of the day you have weekend warriors hitting into your fairway on many more holes. Maybe not all but far too many. If there were some type of woods enclosing the fairways I think you would still have the issues but much less.

Had a foursome in front of us that was very slow. I called the desk twice to have a marshal come out to speed them along. Never happened. At one point there was three open holes in front of them .

The front nine lay out was completely changed since I was there last. USAGHIN did not have the new layout, so since I use that to judge my distance, I had to guess the yardage. Certain fairways were dried up and burnt out. I have had many good rounds at this place but not now

imI have not played this course since mid Spring and I was surprised how well the course conditions were , taking into consideration all the rain we have been havi

Looking forward to my next round at The Meadows.

Course has gotten better over the years..New layout is soooo much better now. The blue tees make the course longer now which is a plus. Changes every hole now..I usually walk but got a cart bc it was close to 100 outside. Looks like they got new golf carts too

After several months staying away, went back to find the overall course conditions significantly improved and the re-configured 3, 4, 5 holes is welcome. Historically wet course conditions will always be a 'challenge' but mgmt. has made great strides!

This course is one of one. Pace of play is excellent, great conditions and the layout is amazing. Truly one of the best experiences of my life and I can’t wait to go again!!
