Over price

The golf course is over price for ordinary people and high schooler try to get better. The pace of play is slow.. not sure if they try to schedule to many people so the pace seems to rush.

Fantastic shape

This golf course was in such great shape. The greens were fast and challenging, and the course was green and absolutely lovely. Enjoyed my round.

Loved the course. Pace of play was really bad. Played 5 holes in 1.5 hours. Was very grateful for a rain check. Thank you.

Over 5 hours to complete round

Issue with slow play. It’s hard to enjoy when you’re waiting 10 minutes every hole

Great course - guy that checked us in? Not so much.

Booked 8 guys on GVSU - Meadows website for 9 holes w/cart for $32. Got to the Meadows and they charged us $35. I showed him the confirmation right from the Meadows website for $32 and he says "I don't know what to tell you. Our rate is $35." He didn't apologize, offer to ask someone else, or take my number and get back to me...nothing. All I got was "too bad". I get it, it's only $3, but it's the principle of him showing zero concern. And it's really $24 as we had 8 golfers.

Course was in great shape, but that started the round off crappy.

Great Course, SLOW Play

We enjoyed the course and felt like the greens were in great condition. Unfortunately, we have a VERY slow foursome in front of us. We waited on almost every shot on every hole. Several times during the round, the group behind us was stuck waiting too, with three groups on one hole. There were no golfers in front of the slow group. A ranger prompting them along might have helped to eliminate this situation.
