If your ball landed off of fairway, good luck finding it. Secondary cuts way too long.

Great Course - Awesome Greens - Slow Pace

The Meadows is a wonderful golf course! Since the change in Superintendents, the greens are the best in the area. I truly enjoy playing the Meadows with the exception of pace of play! I have NO idea why a course lets people play in 4:30 to 4:40 per round. If a group gets 2-3 holes behind another group, have them skip holes until they make up the stagger.

Gvsu

Excellent course! My only complaint was the ruff was very long. It made it difficult to find some of our drives. The prior time I played it was much shorter.

Great place

3rd or 4th time I've been here and it's fantastic. Well kept, great condition fairways and greens. Just don't miss the fairways or else. I need to go here more often!!.

Great course

This course is kept in great condition. It's tough but fair. Missing fairways is costly, but they are well kept as are the greens. Just love it for a couple of bucks more than a run of the mill course closer to home but soooooo worth it!

Round on 8/10/23

Course is in great shape, greens were lightning fast and rolled true, fairways are firm and fair. The long grass is almost impossible to get the ball back in to the fairway, but it's difficult to get in to unless your really hitting the driver poorly.
Beautiful course in great shape, keep it in play and you'll have a great day.

Very nice course

It's beautiful and very unforgiving. The rough is thick, and the greens are very fast. A ton of fun to play though

Nice Course

Bought coupon from Group Golfer - what a steal. Course in great shape. As an average golfer I would knock the really thick rough & pin positions were in Tournament positions. Miss a put by a foot it may roll 10 ft away

Great Course

A beautiful course in excellent condition. Back nine definitely more challenging than the front. Keeping it in the fairway is a must!
