Meadowbrook Golf Course

I’ve been playing at Meadowbrook for many years and keep coming back. As a municipal course, the prices are very low and you get A LOT of bang for your buck. The course itself is maintained beautifully with a broad array of holes of varying difficulty. Whether it’s right now after a fortunate pre-​summer monsoon, or during the bleakest of scorching summers, the staff at Meadowbrook keep the course looking great.
The clubhouse is nothing special, and that is TOTALLY OK! The great thing about Meadowbrook is the focus on golf itself. You won’t find a castle for a clubhouse and you won’t be able to have a gourmet meal with a martini. If that’s what you’re looking for when you go play golf, there are plenty of high-​end courses around with an accompanying large fee. This course serves people looking to come play a fun round of golf in a beautiful setting, that’s it. With that being their main focus, they’ve done a hell of a job.
Meadowbrook is a prime example of how municipal golf courses can be a tremendous asset to citizens who enjoy the game.

For the price, the experience was okay and a decent spot if you are working on your game and can’t get in anywhere else. I went during the Memorial Day weekend which is usually packed, but it was wide open and I could even play two balls.
The rest isn’t as kind; These are the worst greens I have ever played on. Reading them was pointless because they had zero consistency and had the texture of Seal’s face. No matter the condition of the rest of the course, if the greens are bad then the course is bad. Simple five foot putts felt like 15 and there was nothing that was a «gimme».
The course does have some scenic holes, the pace was good, and the clubhouse was okay. Even the cart girls visited my group twice on the front and back nine so the service wasn’t bad.
I’d keep this one as a last resort and even that being said, you’d still likely leave disappointed.

Front nine’s OK, the back could REALLY use some work.

So I’m glad I’m the first to review this place. I’ve been playing here since I was 13 and I’m 26 now. I never expected much from this course because it was cheaper than all the other course and it’s very close to my house.
I decided to write a review today because I just played today. I started at 6:45 p.m. twilight hour. They do NOT have a twilight rate. I played last week for $ 23 around the same time as today. Kinda steep for a course this bad of shape. Today the club house guy said oh you’re not gonna get more than 9 holes in… so I said ok. $ 16.50. I get done with 9 holes at 7:30. Time for more golf. Now I don’t mind paying extra cause I’m about to play 18 or whatever I can get through with the sunlight I have left. The clubhouse guy says it’s $ 16.50 more… i was like wtf. Thats $ 33 for 18 holes… Some of you guys might be saying ok that’s acceptable. But get this, the greens were shitty… i mean worst than putting on the Arizona dessert sand with dead animals on it. I dont know what they try to achieve with aerating the holes when they pour sand all over the green. Putting on this crap was worst than putting on my shag carpet. The tee boxes look like they have never been tended too since i played when i was 13. The trees on the course have never been trimmed. Its like i grew up playing this course to watch the trees grow over the fairway every year.
So here’s my rant. Instead of play on this crappy course for the supposedly $ 33 2^nd twilight price, it’s better to just go to Waterchase, which is only 5 minutes away, for $ 21. Or just stay in Arlington where the courses are the same.
Waterchase is where I’m going for now on. The greens are great, the fairway is great, the tee boxes are excellent.
F this Meadowbrook course. I hope the Manager or PGA pro (if there even is one there) reads my review. You have my name and I’m never coming back.
