Enjoyed the round

The round was very enjoyable. The course was in great shape for this late in the year. Well worth the hour and a half drive from Harris County.

Great again

Enjoyed this course so much we returned a second time even though its almost 2 hours away from home. Beautiful setting, well maintained. Take the time to turn around to see where you've been on some of these holes.

Great course

This seems to be a hidden gem. The course was well-maintained, the vistas were beautiful. Lots of relief in the terrain and plenty of challenging hazards and bunkers guarding the greens. Greens were receptive. The only negative is that the bunkers were hard...but it is Georgia clay after all. Wonderful course and well worth the 1.5 hour drive to get there. We will definitely play again.

Great course

I played this course for the first time back in 2005, it's still is a great course today. Over the years courses loose luster but not this one. Several sets of tees every one can play. Great staff and great course where can you bet that?

Great value but local idiots are something less to be desired.

The course staff was really friendly. The people playing on the other hand; who really gets drunk at 0800 on a Saturday morning. These type of people are the reason why some of the state courses go to waste. Drunken and disorderly yelling and pulling donuts in the fairway. Probably local idiots that the town had grown to have an enduring knack for their shenigans.

GO PLAY

If you are in the Clay County area stop at Meadow Links for a round. Its a great course! My dad took me the first time here and I have loved it ever since. We go as often as we can, but every year we have a golf tournament (the john boy classic) there and its always a blast. The staff is always friendly and the course is always in great shape. I just love meadow links!

The course would have been perfect, except they sanded the greens and they were slow.

Great Course @ Great Price!

I have played at Meadow Links several times over the past 2-3 years and have found it in great condition, awesome staff and the best value for the quality of course within a 60m radius of my hometown. The course is challenging, especially if you don't keep it in the fairway. But, the fairway's have plently of challenges as well, like fairway bunkers that may/may not come into play off the tee. The course maintenance/quality is second to none and even found myself rolling in birdies on recently aerated/sanded greens. As far as the price, you CANNOT beat it. Booking through GolfNow, which is a little cheaper booking online than through the pro shop, is only $23/player on the weekends! Using GolfNow, I was able to get a "HotDeal" or 54% off on a Saturday morning for $12/player which is amazing being a 4 star course and a well kept secret in South Alabama and Lake Eufaula. Being a trail card holder at RTJ Highland Oaks, i play there quite often, and would put the course quality right up there with Highland Oaks, where I pay $47.50/round w/ a trail card membership. If you live in Alabama or west Georgia, you have to come experience this awesome, challenging, links style course.

Diamond in the middle of no where...

this was the first time I have played the Bagby course and it defiantly will not be my last. A true gem in the middle of no where. The course layout is great, you are rewarded for good shots and penalized for bad ones, as it should be. The Pro Shop employee "Bowe", greeted me with a warm welcome and provided some good info regarding the course. The fairways were awesome, you could literally walk the course bare foot. I really liked the bunker designs, the bunkers were walled which reminded me of courses in Europe. My only issue with the bunkers was the use of river sand, no real consistency. The greens were big and angulating, so depending where you were on the green could make for some real imaginative reads. Bottom line, it's an awesome course, and if you can play it go, you will not regret it.

Love this course.

Love the layout. This is the course that made me start playing smarter golf. Very few holes you can "go for it." I needed that discipline.
