Fun + Challenging Course

The Meadows is an awesome track. If you are hitting the ball well off the tee, this course is pretty scoreable. Some tight tee shots and long grass can get you in trouble quick. Greens were firm and rolling fast (thanks to the dry weather).

Only complaint was the pace of play. We had a two-some playing in front of our four-some that was taking forever. They had an entire hole between them and the group ahead of them. 10 practice swings each shot and never playing ready golf. Had to call clubhouse, not sure if they ever talked to the group or not.

Great time

Great course and good value with Golf Now. In excellent shape although the extended rough was penal and required too much time seeking wayward shots.

BAD PACE AND STAFF FRIENDLINESS

I usually play this course a couple times a month but not sure if we will return after yesterdays round. Got there 15 minutes early, went in to get the cart keys and the gentlemen was very unfriendly and rude. Was told a single was in front of us. Turned out to be a student and his girlfriend both playing with his clubs. They were extremely slow, had no golf etiquette and wouldn't let us pass. We tried calling the golf house multiple times to see if they can do something about it but never picked up the phone. Took an hour and a half to play three holes. Ended up not being able to finish our round because it got too dark.
