Meadowbrook Municipal Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Eight years before he built Colonial Country Club, John Bredemus came to Fort Worth to build Meadowbrook Municipal Golf Course. The city bought the facility years later and brought Ralph Plummer in for renovations in 1962, when the creation of dams formed five new lakes and improved the irrigation system. No. 5 should probably be a par 5 for most hackers -- it plays 475 yards with water on the left of the dogleg, trees are on the right, and the approach must carry a creek. Don't worry about a bogey on this one. The 16th is another long par 4 that features an approach over water to the green. The two best birdie opportunities are nos. 7 and 14, both short par 4s that should leave you with only a short iron into the green.

Course Inwood shape, challenging layout with lots of elevation change. Could do more to move the slow groups along.
DO NOT PLAY!!
Insanely slow pace, 2 1/2 and didn’t even get to finish 9, we told the marshal named “Richard” and he said the person slowing down the entire course was a “cop” so it’s okay. He then told us if we have any issues to contact a guy at a completely different course and to complain to him? Awful experience.
Beginner Experience
First time playing with some buddies and played a scramble. We took extremely long but it was a lot of fun. There was some rules we were not aware of like each play has to have a bag but besides that it was a lot of fun.
Great Value
Was skeptical when I saw the walking rate but the course is in good shape. They don't have many carts which is why they encourage the walking rate. It is not the easiest of walks, however. Good value...and a very good layout in good shape. I recommend this one!
Bad shape
Fairways are very hard and patchy, despite plenty of rain. Greens are slow and very poor condition. Course is fairly challenging, but made worse by poor conditions.
Challenging
The course is isn't great. Being a fairly new golfer it is challenging me.
Great
The course is in great shape. The greens are large and fast. A great challenge.
Classico
It'll take time for this gem to get back to shape for the summer. Greens were soft and slowly taking form.
Course looks easy, and always plays tough.
A Classic City Roller of a course.
Enjoyed
The course is in great shape. I walked the course this time and if you want to get in great shape this is your course.
Suspect at best
Okay, I'll start with a disclaimer: this course is scheduled to be closed in September 2023 for a much needed renovation.
That said, Meadowbrook is a true goat track! They barely do anything to maintain the facility (except for the men's bathroom in the so-called "clubhouse " which is very clean). The grounds are generally untidy with debris everywhere. The tee boxes are so bad that they would be better off just putting out some mats to hit from!
Like I said, I know they're planning a renovation but seriously? And to make it worse this facility (like so many others in DFW offering crap conditions) charges regular full price rates! What a joke on me!
I also heard a staff member say that they actually even ran out of hot dogs and buns. Really? Plan ahead much for business? Again, what a joke...on me...and on you if you go.
