The Meadows at Middlesex Golf Club

Starter and staff were extremely friendly, pace of play was great, the practice green had a full hiitting net (which more facilities should have IMO) - but the fairways and greens were in seriously rough shape.

I was hesitant to post any review because it seemed the course was taking enough heat.

But after reading that the greens weren’t mowed for the weekend we played because the greens keeper was “trying to not stress them out” is a joke. It’s April and from what I could tell the course was packed.

But it wasn’t just the greens. You couldn’t even tell the difference between fairways and rough, the grass was so high. Is there a maintenance budget at this course? Tell Middlesex County they have to actually spend money other than Tamarack…

Slowest greens I've played on in years. Bad experience.

I've played this course for years and this was the worst conditions I have ever seen at this course. Greens were not cut and most fairways were lacking grass.

Greens were very slow and not smooth. Some of the slowest greens I have played in the area unfortunately. Greenskeeper definitely didn't cut.

Pace was annoying, group in front lost a ball on almost every hole. Ranger said it was normal for the weekend to be that slow. I think we finished just a little over 5 hours.

Desk staff was very friendly.

This place is atrocious, I've played this course multiple times and the course is in the worst shape I have ever seen it. I don't think I even seen a greenskeeper or superintendent on the course this year. The guys used to be out and about working on all kinds of stuff and you could tell the course was on its way up, I'm not sure what happened but this course is not worth the money it cost to play here anymore. Save your money! I just kept hearing from people and the other reviews I have seen on here are the saving grace supposedly is they hired a new superintendent, and are going to be working on irrigation problems. I have talked to other players that play here on a regular basis about this and they said it's always been promised to the course and never happens. This must be a township thing like they said, it's a shame cause this place has a lot of potential and I've seen that with in the last two years but it's taken two steps forward and five steps back this year.

I like the course layout. Conditions of the greens and front nine fairways was fair. The back nine was in better shape than the front. For the price its a good deal. Staff was friendly and the nineteenth hole was great.

Course has what appears to be great “Bones”. It’s a nice challenging layout. Problem is the conditions are poor. Tees boxes and fairways are a mess. Need to find a tuft of grass on fairway to place ball. Lots of dirt and crabgrass. Greens were very nice and undulating. Problem was they are extremely slow. Had to smack ball to hard all day. Course needs some love and money. With attention to conditions this could be a nice track. Until then I won’t be going back

I think the design of this course is terrific—the Finger/Fazio design is apparent. However, the course conditions rival a dog track. I could not tell the difference between the rough and the fairway. We laughed when my ball was in the middle of the fairway on a hard pan. Greens were furry, but when cut may roll okay. Was told there is a new grounds superintendent and that they fixed the 200 or so sprinkler heads which were broken. I'd like to play again in 3+ months and see if there's a difference.

- Slow play. Almost 5.5 hour round
- Nuisances on course. Geese on water holes. Kids on bikes on some other holes.
- Some holes close together. Music playing in golf carts was inappropriate.
- Bunkers in bad shape. Need sand.

No rangers anywhere to help. Won’t be back.

Hotdog was the best part of the round. 6 hours and not a ranger in sight.

Meadows is in rough shape. The fairways are patchy and the bunkers are rock pits. With poor maintenance and sluggish play, it’s not worth the visit until they make serious improvements.

The girls I played with said Middlesex County has been promising improvements for years, but all the money goes to other courses. Such a shame.

I really wanted to like this course, but after playing a round here, I can’t say I’ll be coming back anytime soon. For the outrageously high WINTER greens fees, I expected a well-maintained course, but that was far from the reality.

The bunkers are an absolute disaster—more like rock pits than sand traps, making it nearly impossible to play a proper shot. The fairways are in terrible shape, with bare patches, weeds, and inconsistent grass that makes for a frustrating round. The greens are decent, but they’re the only somewhat redeeming feature of the course, and even they aren’t enough to justify the cost.

For what they’re charging, I expected much better conditions. There are plenty of other courses in the area that offer a far superior experience for a much more reasonable price. Save your money and play elsewhere!

Zero justification for the off-season greens fees being so high.
