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
It was just as nice as it was years ago, staff was great, really enjoyed playing.
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.
Remote hidden gem
Really remote golf course near GA/AL boarder but worth the trip
Course condition
Course is better than it's been in years. Go play now!
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!
Great course
Was staying at a nearby campground when we noticed this course made a reservation and played it Monday morning staff was excellent the course was in great condition and me and my wife had a great time .
Great deal for the money! Course is well taken care of and everything seems in pretty good order.
Greens are awesome
The layout is fantastic,,great view from #11 tee,,,greens rolled awesome. The fairways appeared to be under construction in some places,,found out from staff that feral hogs had damaged them.,,,we just used the old two-club length rule and rolled on ,,overall great course .
Very nicely maintained for a state park course
Beautiful golf course. Great facilities and carts. Course is in great shape despite the drought. And Monica is wonderful! I will definitely be back.
great find
scenic vistas ,a nice mix of links and parkland. a challenge for all level of players .typical southern hospitality makes you want to come back.
Great Course
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.
The Best Course and Great Value
This is the best course in our area! The greens are superb and the views along the course are amazing. We have been playing this course for years and have never been dissatisfied.
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.
Need a Marshall
I love the layout of this course and it is always in decent shape but the one thing that frustrates me is the pace of play. This course is in dyer need of a Marshall to speed up the play. In our case this past weekend there was a group of elderly gentlemen in front of us who bogged down play and wouldn't let us through. We even rode up and tried talking to them. They were very rude and wouldn't agree to let us play through. They said they paid to play just like everyone else. It drove us insane. This course always has a bunch of elderly NORTHERN people that play it because it is right next to a campground, so keep that in mind if you play here.
NICE HIDDEN GEM
This course is really fun. Not busy during the week. The grass is always cut and well maintained. The greens will rival the higher priced courses in the area. Take the time and give it a try and you will keep coming back.
