A rude, aggressive 6-some, with a hole ahead of them, would not let anyone play through. There were 4 groups waiting for them to finish on a par 5… Called the clubhouse multiple times, but no one answered. I will never play here again.
Played today and was pleasantly surprised that the course was in good shape even with all the recent rain.

Unplayable. Should not have opened for the season. The entire course is a swamp. I know it’s only April but when you finally hit a perfect drive in the dead center of the fairway and the ball is still in 2 inches of water, there’s a problem. Meadows was always a budget-friendly course but 5/6 hours to play 18 holes of overbooked swamp is unacceptable. Everything is in horrible shape: tee boxes, greens, even the carts have shredded seats, foggy windshields and the zippers on the rear canvas must’ve been washed away in the latest mild drizzle. But at least there’s always loud lawn mowers paving the mud on every hole kicking up right in the middle of your backswing. Save your money.
The course falls short in every aspect – Aerated greens with no notice or adjusted pricing, hard as a rock bunkers, absence of tee markers in the box, angry rude ranger, dusty fairways, and an exasperatingly slow pace. Paying full price in December adds to the disappointment; a fair assessment suggests it's worth no more than $30. Proceed if there's no alternative and golf is a must, but if possible, it's advisable to steer clear.
A very nice golf course. Greens were beautiful even for playing in October. On the front nine there is a lot of water hazards. If you don't mind the difficulty of water hazards I suggest playing here. Will play here again!
Went as a foursome with three of my friends. It all started when we got there. I understand things happen like technical outages, but this wasn't the first time. It took over 20 minutes for the club house to process our billing before playing. For some reason they use a computer from 1980 and don't bother upgrading it even when tee time prices are high. This same scenario has happened on multiple occasions. This destroyed the pace of play as the group behind us was up our rear ends the whole time. Additionally they charge 70$ or more at peak hours for an absolutely horribly maintained course. What a joke. The tee boxes were dirt and the majority of the fairways had bare spots filled with weeds. In addition they weren't even mowed for when we played in the afternoon. Could barely find your ball on the fairway grass was so high. Lastly, one of the workers made a condescending comment at the end of our game about not coming in immediately after the horn was blown. Had issues with this worker multiple times. We treated the issue professionally, but can't help but wonder how he has a job there after so many complaints. All in all, way too high of a price to be treated with disrespect both by the worker and the owner for not investing in maintaining the course. The only things the course has going for is some good respectful workers.

I first played here when I was still in grammar school about 40 years ago. At least half of the holes are still the same but the conditions have vastly improved and entirely new holes have been added.

The back nine is stronger than the front in terms of conditions. The course is thankfully flat with relatively few trees in between the holes, but plenty of trees on the border of the course. The greens are in very good condition and the traps are not a big concern save for a few holes.

The course rests in a low lying area, known for flooding, but much work has been done by to relieve the area from protracted flooding. The map on the scorecard does not match the course at this time which was confusing.

One of my favorite holes is the former first hole that is a dog leg left par 5 with a reasonable amount of water guarding the green. Another great hole is a par three that plays as far back as 249 yards from the tips, and 219 yards from the men’s tees. That was a lot of fun and there are other interesting holes that don’t always need a driver of the tee.

The staff was very kind and I witnessed personally the golf shop keeper lending his personally owned driver to a patron who asked to rent a driver for his round. Talk about going the extra mile!

I will definitely return and look forward to seeing additional the course improvements where I played some of my earliest rounds of golf.
It was cold when we played it, but I am sure once it gets warmer this course is good to play. Even in the conditions we played you can see that they maintain it. Definitely will play a few times this season.
