The Meadows Golf and Country Club Reviews

First time golfing. Was a great experience despite a bit of rain fall we had. Good COVID-19 measures in place as well.

Gotta say that while it is convenient and the course is in good shape it is some of the slowest golf in the city. My 3 longest rounds of the year have been here. Not sure why put the seem to bottle neck a couple of 9s with tons of people while the rest of the course looks reasonable. Not the place to go as a single to get in a quick 9 because either alone or as a 4some....its slow.

The greens need to be rolled to make them a little smoother and faster.

Normally I would rate this course a 4-5.
I cannot today as explained below.
Today I had a tee time booked for 8:48. There was a frost delay. Completely understandable that we were facing a delay.
Asked the pro shop when I checked in they were thinking an hour delay. An announcement was made at 8:50 for specific groups show to the tees and first tee off would be 9. I asked he folks at the cart pick up (who are also starters I recognize from previous visits) what the plan was? I was told an hour delay, so 8:48 was pushed to 9:48.
Went and putted, hit a bag of balls and went to check in with the starter at the North tee at 9:35, so 10 minutes early. I was told I wasn t there when it was to be my turn so I d have to wait. I explained the hour delay, he repeated himself and added that he had know way of knowing if I d been in my car or at the range or what. I replied that I had been told we d have to wait an hour and that at 8:48 I wasn t allowed to report to the starter as there had been a frost delay and the big signs and chains wouldn t have allowed me to check in at 8:48.

I spoke to my partner and we agreed that the timing wasn t going to work if we were delayed 30 more minutes (Thanksgiving Sunday).

Went back to the pro shop and had zero issue getting a refund. I had to stop the pro shop worker from radioing they starter and giving him trouble.

Disappointed that there wasn t a plan or any kind of communication between staff let alone staff to golfers.
We will return if the weather holds and if Covid allows.

Played course for first time this year Friday July 24. Course in pretty good shape with all the heat and dry weather. Greens a little slow. I am a senior and had to pay $80.23 with a cart..This is not an $80 course. I will never be back until the cost becomes more reasonable.

Hey, thanks for being open but what is with the noodles in the cups? You can't even sink the ball into the hole, you just have to hit it? Why not cut the noodle in half so you can just fetch the ball with your putter? That's what they're doing at Pineview. Easy fix. Some of my friends don't want to go to Meadows just based on this and the fact other courses have much better systems. *Update- spoke with the GM Mark and he explained their situation. He says they will re-visit this decision next week. Here's hoping they make a change. Have since updated my rating based on his call.

Loved the course but was not impressed that I had to pay full price for a power cart because we all wanted individual carts. Other courses do not do this. The carts did have plastic dividers but some in our group are not comfortable sharing a cart even with the dividers. Hopefully this covid thing will be over by next golf season making this all moot.

Excellent, well kept course. Some of the dog legs were extra difficult which added to the overall experience. I would certainly go back!

Great course and friendly staff. Only issue is that the online booking system doesn't always work and you think you have a round booked but it doesn't show up when you get to the course. The staff were great and still managed to fit us in though

As many can see, I post reviews many times. And mostly positive comments. Today at the Meadows was hugely disappointing. I called and asked for a Twilight special for 2 People for NINE holes only. She said : I have a spot at 2:30 when the Twilight special kicks in. We got there and they charged us $59 a person because we each needed our own cart. Even though we're in the same bubble. Taking advantage of the Pandemic to overcharge people and make up for lost revenue. Last time. I golf all over the Ottawa area. No deals at the Meadows.
