Excellent Course for the Money

It’s not one of the premier public golf courses around Chicago, but that’s partly due to the richness in public golf here in general. This course is one of the best bang for buck you are going to get, it’s a well maintained, slightly above average golf course that you can play with fast pace on a lucky day, for a low
price. I’ll be back.

On Top of Each Other

The staff did not do a good job of spacing out golfers. We were backed up 4 groups at 1 point. Also, the course itself is all over the place. People are always on other fairways and you seemed to be losing balls which were hit in good spots. To be fair it was only $37 with a cart but I won't be returning as I'm not trying to spend another 6 hours for 18 holes.

Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With so many golfers looking to get out, we are working very hard to maintain social distancing while accommodating everyone who visits our course. We are doing everything we can to allow our guests the chance to complete their rounds and finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve, and thank you for playing The Meadows Golf Club of Blue Island. We hope to see you again soon.

So so

Course was in decent shape besides all the grass clippings. I lost several balls in the rough because there were so many huge patches of cut grass left over from the last mowing. Need some blowers!

I’ve seen Cow pastures that are in better condition than this course.

Pace of play was horrible 5-1/2 hours with 4 foursomes of awful early 20’s golfers ahead of us playing for money. No sanitizing of golf carts in between groups, attendant just tossed the beer cans and drove it over to us, Here you go.The course has no drainage whatsoever. Standing water all over the place that had algae growing in it. Beer can littered around the tee boxes even though each one had a garbage can. On the 18 hole there was an empty box of White Claws in the middle of the fairway. The pins were only 4 feet tall, I think Tattoo was a member at this club. One positive was the Brat was huge and came with free chips. I was very surprised about the four stars rating that this course had posted on the website and felt compelled to write a review.

Becoming an early morning favorite

A bit of a hidden gem really. Inexpensive and if you get on early it plays pretty quick. Not a typical Chicagoland muni

Nice and open, average course maintenance

The course was good to play overall and it was easy to find most balls. Only gripe was that there were some torn up fairways and less than well mowed areas. Even with that, I'd definitely play here again.

Solid course close to the city

Not a bad track. Relatively short but several blind tee shots and dog legs force you to play smart. Grounds were in great shape with only issues being water logging due to recent heavy rains. Some nice water hazards and on course scenery despite its city setting.
