Enjoyed It!
This was my second time playing this course and I really enjoyed it!
This course was not worth the savings
The course double booked threesomes and foursomes at the same times when we arrived at 11:00. Did not tee off until noon and there was two other groups behind us with the same tee time as ours.
will come back
played course for 1st time, solo on a wet tuesday. played/walked blue tees, some tough par 4s on the back, par 3s were all 170+ yds, par 5s were pretty straight-forward. not much in way of water hazards, which is ok. rough was tough, had rain last few days so they didnt get chance to cut much of it, few times had to just hack way forward. good course, good challenge, will come back again.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, nwindyjz. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. The Meadows Golf Club of Blue Island thanks you!
Slow play and high grass
The course books tee times every 5 min which contributed to significant slow play. The ranger was going around and addressing slow play and even blaming it on us sometimes but it was nobody’s fault but the 5 minute tee time intervals. Another contributing factor to this review was that the course was overgrown. The rough was way too high and should have been mowed again. Lastly, there were puddles of water on the green and I don’t even think it rained the night before, I truly believe it was from the sprinklers.

We have a problem
When we arrived 15 minutes before our 11:10 tee time, we were told that there was a problem!! The golf course had an outing starting at 12 noon and we wouldn't be allowed to play 18 holes. We were offered a rain check for future golf, but I drove 2 hours to meet my golfing partner ( who drove over an hour), so I didn't feel a rain check would do us any good.
When I made this reservation, I called the golf course and was told that on weekends I would have to book with Golf Now, which I did.
This is the problem when booking with third parties. Either GN screwed this up, or the golf course didn't update GN that there was an outing.

Windy
I last played this course 23yrs ago, it was built on a landfill, so it has taken ok. It was laid out as a lynx style, it is very challenging on the Back 9, there is still high rough that will swallow your ball and club, no trees, but open. Good value with adequate grass short practice area.

Terrible customer service
The management and customer service is awful. The first time I came they charged me twice. Instead of refunding, they gave me a rain check to use on my next visit. When I booked the next visit online, it asked for a credit card, which is common when reserving, but you always pay at the course. That’s how courses like CPD and Cog Hill work. I arrived expecting to pay with my rain check, but they tell me they already charged my card and refused to refund it. They told me to save my rain check for next time (lol) and refused to refund my money. They have 3 green fees from me for two rounds played. Not how you run a business.
I won’t be supporting people who are ok with keeping extra money from their customers. I won’t be back and will tell my friends to steer clear.

Meadows Blue Island
Decent course. Very outdated, a lot of big dirt patches, rough was same as fairway, only saw 2 greenskeepers out there. Course layout was a bit odd, you’d finish a hole then drive back to the tees for the next hole on a couple of them. Carts were super outdated, didn’t even have wind shields on them. The course layout book they had was cool, very detailed. Staff was cool. $40 for a course that probably should be $30 cart included MAX, but golf’s becoming more popular so I understand. Overall not shabby spot, probably won’t play there again unless there’s a hot deal or my old man wants to play. Had fun though.

Bad conditions
Used to love this place. The course conditions on Sunday we're top 2 worst i've ever seen. Tee boxes were a joke- Lacking grass, completely unlevel. Fairways were hard and full of dirt patches. Better off playing from the 'rough'. Greens were in decent shape, but that's the only compliment I can give this course. Unlikely to come back
I’m actually sad writing this
What a bummer. This place used to be ole reliable. Could play here for a fair rate, always in good shape and had some cool holes where you’d hit every club in the bag.
Popped over for an impromptu round and was really disappointed. Staff is still awesome, but course was in awful condition. 90%+ of the grass is dead, balls bouncing 10 feet in the air because the ground is so hard, dirt patches all over the tee boxes. Surprisingly the greens are in pretty solid shape.
I know the folks here probably know the course isn’t what it used to be, but wanted to share so everyone was aware before heading over here. Hopefully it’s back to what it used to be next year.
