Fun on the course

Had a great time! Used to have a membership here for about 4 years and haven't played here for about 3 years. The course was in really good shape, some tee boxes were pretty beat up but overall really good condition. The speed of play is usually slow here because so many walkers. Fortunately this time they let us play through starting on the back 9 and things went at a good/fast pace after that.

Great Value!~

Meridian Sun is a local gem. It's a great value and challenging course that you can play many different ways. It's the kind of course that reminds me of the courses I'd play when I was growing up. The people that work there are good, down to earth people that you don't feel intimidated talking to. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good course to play.

What a difference a year makes

I played this course last year and I was quite impressed. This year however, I can not say the same. The fairways were incredibly dry and the ride on the cart was incredibly bumpy making for a rather unenjoyable experience. The course conditions could've been much better in my opinion.

Amazing Course for Pricw

This course used to be a dog track. Now the new staff has really turned it around. The course is in amazing shape, and they offer so many programs, events and deals. YOU DONT EVEN NEED GOLF NOW! I found that golf now is usually more than their rate!

Indifferent

Meridian Sun is worth it when you can get a Hot Deal on golf now for less than a $1 a hole. The course tends to be all over the place as far as conditions go. Some holes are just fine while others need some work. There really isn't any rough but it's also hard to tell where the fairway ends or actually is. If you are looking to get some practice in or just looking for a cheap place to play to have a little fun, Meridian Sun is your place.

A quick way to get 18 holes in

We only live five minutes from Meridian Sun, so when I saw a great deal, I jumped on it. We got out with no one in front of us and just flew around the course. If we hadn't stopped at the turn for a quick snack we may have gotten this round in in just over 3 hours.

It's a good little course, and getting better all the time. The owner took it over when it was real rough and he's done a terrific job. It will never be Augusta but for the money, we love this place.

Don't waste your time or money

Possibly the worst golf course I have ever played. Course was in extremely poor condition. There really is no visible difference between the rough and fairway. Cups appear to have been cut at least a week ago, as there were no real edges, and the greens were completely torn up near the cups at 8:00am! The staff also decided to send two groups off the back right before we made the turn, which drastically slowed down our round.

Lot's of Geese and power lines everywhere?

Get out the scoop-er and get ready to ride the high wires. The best thing about Meridian Sun, the greens were in nice shape.

Poor experience

We had a 1:30 tee time. We made the turn at 3:10 only to find a high school match starting. Had we been told we would have started on the back 9. The only choice we were given was to play the front again. Very poor course management.

Great layout, atrocious conditions

This is a pretty creative layout that has been allowed to fall into utter and complete disrepair, to the extent that it is embarassing. Of course, having paid $9.00 per person to play, I don't know what else I should have expected.
