Management needs to get their act together

Had a scheduled round booked on golf now for 1pm. At 1 pm golfers from a Thursday league were coming off 18 to play the front 9 as they had started that day on the back 9. The golfers suggested that a start on #10which I did. Apparently no other golfer had the 1 pm tee time so I went off on my own. After playing the back 9 , I was hoping to now play the front 9. To my dismay, there were 2 foursomes waiting to tee off. So with hole 10 open again I played the back nine a second time.
For the third time reviewing, my opinion is that a starter is needed. I enjoy the course, but too often there is confusion at the Ist tee.

The Meadows - One of my favorite courses

I always love playing at The Meadows in Blue Island. The greens were very well manicured and smooth to putt. Sand traps had sand in them (as some courses still don't). Grass was cut in the rough to allow you to find errant shots easier. The course has its challenges so it is fun to play.

Fast play

My wife and I played in 3hrs. Threesome in front of us but playing fast. Greens were in good condition. I believe a couple had a little issue but overall good. Fairways were cut nice. Had a good time.

Cinco de Mayo Round

No starter so you guess when it’s your turn. Front 9 needed a good rough grass mowing. Still early in the year.

Good value.

Played for $28 with cart. Grass was cut. The greens have been recently irritated so that wasn’t great but the greens were mostly in good shape. Fairways were good. We had recent rain and they must have good drainage because no standing water. Enjoyed the course will play again.

Overpriced for a course in this condition. Have played multiple times and they used to charge much less for a round of golf than they do now. Not sure why they charge as much as they currently do considering the course is nothing all too special. Pace of play is usually pretty terrible, I never hit out of the sand traps because they are littered with rocks. Greens always have a ton of divots that are not repaired along with tee boxes. If they would drop their prices by $10-$15 I would golf there more often because I like the layout.
