The Meadows at Middlesex Golf Club

Fairways and rough around the greens need some work.

Except got the fact that the staff was professional and courteous not much good to say about this course. Layout is average but clearly the owners don’t care and don’t even worry how obvious their indifference is.

Sand traps filled with hundreds of stone and pebbles. These are green side traps not waste areas. I read reviews from weeks and months earlier pointing this out but clearly owners don’t care. Luckily I was only in three all day but I had to look at any I saw. Additionally all the traps clearly have not been manicured in ages.

Faulty sprinklers in middle of a three fairways leaving pooled water and muddy damaged areas. The complete absence of care screams that the owners or management group doesn’t care.

Asked the young lady in the beverage cart if they had iced tea, she said they ran out a couple of days earlier and hadn’t restocked.

I care how I spend my days and won’t go back to a place where ownership’s lack of care announces so boldly they’ve given up and they don’t care.

Really, I would love to give this course a better rating. I love the layout, the pace of play is good, and the staff is always helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, the course conditions are dismal. We're at the beginning of the season and the tee boxes are already in bad shape. The fairways are mediocre at best, with bold spots everywhere. How is that going to be at the height of the season??? Seriously, Middlesex county, get your act together. Those courses (i.e. Tamarac and the Meadows) are a shame. If you ever want to compete with Monmouth county courses, you better get started, NOW!

Played this course for the first time. For as inexpensive as it is, the course played extremely well. Greens were fast, firm, and very true. A few fairways need some work, and tees are beat up from the influx of golf over the past year, but overall, the course was magnificent.

Only negative was the bunkers. They are years overdue for a complete redo. Water was sitting in the bunkers, and the ratio of sand to rocks was probably 20/80% (rocks being 80%). Middlesex County has the money, look at what they are doing to Tamarack.

Tee boxes, Fairways, and greens are in very poor condition. For this time of year it should be way better.

Bunkers have stones in them.

Fairways are cut very close and a lot of bald spots, no chance for the grass to grow cutting so close.

Greens are rock hard.

Tee boxes are very sparse.

Really nice course and very friendly staff and amenities. Only downside and could be because beginning of season but sand traps were horrible with hard sand and full of rocks.
