Downhill Fast

Been playing this course sparingly over the past few years. Have never really enjoyed it, but this past round was horrendous. The greens are terrible. There are weird bare spots or weeds on a lot of them. They were not putting very smooth at all. A lot of the fringes are bare. Fairways were in decent shape, and the tees were hit or miss.

The course is very gimmicky, which I guess is what they market towards. Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of poor golfers go there, because it took us almost 6 hours to play 18 holes. We were waiting 10 mins on every tee box. Felt like the starter wasn’t concerned about pace of play.

For new golfers: Greens are small and tough to hit. A lot of blind shots that if you don’t know the course, you will be in trouble.

My suggestion: Play somewhere else.

Hello. Thank you for reviewing the course. We appreciate you playing our course over the years but are very sorry to hear that your recent experience with us was poor. We greatly value your feedback and will continue to make the necessary improvements to your overall experience with us. We hope that you would give us another chance to improve upon the course and hope that you will notice some of these improvements during your next round with us. We also apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. We work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and to best control pace allowing everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve, and we are glad to see you rated the course conditions to be great during your game. Thank you for playing Island Green/Longest Hole at Meadows Farms Golf Course. We hope to see you again soon.

Constantly getting better.

I have started to play this course pretty regularly now that the conditions have vastly improved. Greens are great, tee areas are getting better. The staff is the friendliest staff around, by a mile. They have two holes closed until next year but they allow you to play other holes again to make up for it.

Getting in to great shape!

Been playing here for many years with the Thursday Seniors League. Have seen the highs and the lows of the course. The new team managing the course is doing a great job bringing the course back to life. For the first time that I can remember the greens were actually a little too fast for my taste. Overall our group is looking forward to the golf season this year.

What a turnaround!

This course has had its share of ups and downs. Most recently this past summer, the greens were horrendous, and the rough was out of control. My group just played today after we had heard through the grapevine that the conditions had improved, and that’s no joke. The greens are in decent to great shape now. They still need some work, but wow what a difference a few weeks have made. The rough was playable all around as well. The property has such a great layout, and with the right TLC this will be one of the must-play courses in VA!
