Meadows Golf Club

I had a fun day at Meadows because I was looking forward to just getting back out. It’s scenic and has a fair amount of features including pretty ponds and marsh. But the tee boxes and some of the greens could use some work. A reasonable value if you keep your expectations modest.

I’ve been playing this course for years. Sadly in recent years it’s become overpriced for its quality. If you’re a county resident, for the same price you can go down the road to Preakness where the course condition it much better kept. I know with inflation and overall cost they had to adjust, I just hope next season the tee boxes and greens will be in the shape they were in previous years when they were priced way more competitively.

A solid course. Fun layout with room for error off the tees. With that comes a lot of errant shots being hit between the holes. Lots of balls coming toward/near you often without warning. Staff was nice, carts were ok and the atmosphere was nice. The course was not in very good shape. Tee boxes were often very hard dirt with no grass areas to tee up. Lots of muddy, no grass areas in fairway. Not much divot repairs and little to no ball marks repaired. The greens were in pretty rough shape with both ball marks and grassless spots that affect your roll. With all those criticisms I had a blast, played well, and scored decently. I would return. But wish for the course conditions it was a little cheaper.

Wow! I used to play this course years ago when it was in better condition and it was descent now there are so many dead spots greens are carpets just terrible place to play not worth the money course should be 30$ max

Extremely disappointed

The positive is nice staff and easy to get a time. Down side is mediocre fairway and the greens hadn't been cut. Like putting on your carpet. Compared to Preakness for about the same money, there is no comparison

I’ve always defended Meadows being that the price used to be lower than other local courses. I also understand it rained a lot, however the course greens yesterday were unplayable. You could have hit a slap shot with your putter and the ball would barely move. The sand traps were all swimming pools. Again, I understand the weather and location, but lower the price for the day if you’re going to stay open with such poor conditions.

on multiple (chewed up) tee boxes, fairways, greens. Otherwise, an easy, playable course for intermediate players.

Overall, it is a decent course, but there were too many bare spots on tee boxes, fairways, and greens. In fact, sometimes you could see where they had put down sod, but let it dry out and die. On certain tee boxes, I had to invoke the 2 club distance rule from the tee markers to find a spot that was relatively flat and had sufficient amount of grass so I didn't have to worry about my trail foot slipping while I teed off. Additionally, I don't think they roll their greens or mow them down low enough. The areas of the greens that were not patchy were very slow. For a beginner or someone just looking to get out and focus on keeping the ball in play, this course if perfectly fine. But for anyone with a handicap of 15 or better, there are better options within a 30 minute drive.

Course is mid at best, although they have been doing a great job improving course conditions since last time. For now, better to drive another 30 min for a better, cheaper course.

The weekend morning prices are steep; however, other than that this course has a pretty fun design. It’s not in the best shape ever but very very far from unplayable or even horrible. I got a deal time and paid 40$ and had a great time. Worth every penny and would do it every chance I got

Pls do not play at this course. Probably the worst in new jersey. Staff is rude. Course is horribly maintained. Lots of beginner golfers.
