The Meadows at Middlesex Golf Club

Play was extremely slow due to 2 groups and no marshal anywhere to be found.

Let me start with the positive. All of the greens are in excellent condition and very challenging, with many undulations. If your ball is below the hole you stand a chance. If your ball is above the hole, good luck.

The tee boxes and fairways are in rough shape. Large patches of dirt, all along most fairways. Unless you prefer hitting off dirt, you will have to find a patch of grass and move your ball to it. Some patches of dirt, notably around the greens are spray painted a sort of green.

Greens were in excellent condition. Lot of dead spots in the fairways and quite a few tee boxes chewed up. If u can get over those 2 things fun course.

Well nice layout greens were in very good shape but the tee boxes needs work!! Fairways were fairly good. If the price is right go play.

Kudos to the staff and the patrons of this course. I managed to let my iPhone 14 fall out of my golf bag while playing it (dragging my hand cart into and out of the gully alongside the first hole jostled it loose from an insecure pouch on my golf bag), but didn't realize it was gone until the twilight round was over. I called the course the next morning to alert them, and a few hours later they called me to say that a player had spotted it in the gully (blocked tee shots find it pretty easily) and brought it back to the clubhouse. I had thought my phone was gone and was so glad to be able to get it back.

As for the course itself, it sometimes suffers during the summer but otherwise is good. There are a lot of nasty bunkers in front of greens; the trick to a decent score is to avoid them. The bar and restaurant in the clubhouse is very popular in late afternoon/evening hours.
