Meadows Golf Club-Blue Island

Golfed here today for the first time. Not bad for April golf. There were lots of rough spots on the course. Quite a few of the greens were just irrigated. The staff inside the clubhouse were friendly. Chili was great, too. Overall, not a bad course for the price.

Wow… looks like it has been a minute since anyone has taken the time to review this place. Anyway, been a few times and always had a great time playing this course. I generally play during the week when it is slow and can usually snag a good deal through one of the Tee Time booking websites. The course can be challenging but even for the hacker like myself, it’s quite playable and you generally won’t lose your ball to often unless you shank it into the train tracks or occasional water hazard. Starter has always been friendly and so has the rest of the staff. Looking forward to coming back here agin.

Wow I have never been so disgusted with a course in my life. The experience might have been as bad had it not been for the fellow at the desk. He was rude and acted if I was bothering him by checking in for my tee time. I would have turned around and walked right out had I not purchased a groupon for this so called golf course. First of all, I called and called and called to try and book a tee time but nobody was answering the phone. I finally got fed up with getting an answering maching and booked a tee time through THEIR website which in turn booked it through golfnow. When I went to check in, first off the fellow didn’t even greet me, snatched the groupon and tolf me too bad I can’t use that because I booked through golfnow. I explained to him that the only reason I booked through them was because it was through THEIR website. He kept tell me it’s not his problem he wasn’t the one not answering the phone. He finally agreed to except the voucher for the round of golf that I had already paid for and did not say another word to me. I asked him about a key for the cart and he stated, againg with an attitude, that their already in the cart and rolled his eyes. The course itself was fair at best, but with this kind of staff I would advise any golfer to stay far, far away from this place. Don’t waste your money to play at a place where they treat you like garbage. I golf 2 – 3 times per week during the summer months and have never in my life been treated like this at a course. Don’t waste your time or money here… Go to George Dunne instead, much friendlier and dont’ treat you like a piece of dirt.

The chili is really quite good. Simple, friendly, and Pinochle for the Seniors on Tuesdays!
