Course Description
The Front Nine
Oak Corner - Hole 1 - Par 5
A very exciting yet unusual opening hole. The first at Meadowbrook plays as a long and challenging par 4 from the back tees for the pro and low handicapper. But is an enjoyable par 5 opening hole from the upward tees for members and club guests. This huge green is situated into a hill so don't miss the green left or long.
Hawks view - Hole 2 - Par 3
A scenic par 3 over a pond to a large narrow green. Players can have as much as a 3-club difference depending upon the pin placement. This par 3 plays slightly downhill to an elevated green. There is definitely a premium on accuracy here.
Bluebird Trail - Hole 3 - Par 5
A long and narrow par 5 that requires a well-placed tee shot in the fairway in order to have a shot at the green. Bunkers guard the lay-up areas 40-50 yards from the green. Take a second look; there are two bunkers on the left.
Pinehurst - Hole 4 - Par 3
The second of the six best par 3’s you will see on one course. A long par 3 guarded by a hazard on the left. Your work is not over once you hit the green. A huge undulating green puts the emphasis on your putting.
The Chute - Hole 5 - Par 4
One of two par fours at Meadowbrook that looks rather intimidating from the tee but is actually an easier driving hole than first appears. A narrow par 4 but tee shots down the left or right side will feed back to the center. Be sure you get your tee shot to the top of the hill or you will have a blind second shot to a narrow but deep undulating green. This hole has a unique feature in that it is a double green, sharing with the par 3 seventh.
Road Hole - Hole 6 - Par 4
Every golf course needs a hole like this. A short par 4 (only 325 yards from back tees) with plenty a driving area. However, a huge two-tiered green puts a premium on distance control with the wedges.
The Fountain - Hole 7 - Par 3
A long par 3 over water with a huge sand bunker guarding the front right of the green. Another of the great par 3’s at Meadowbrook Golf Club. A huge double green sharing with the par 4 5th.
Ace - Hole 8 - Par 3
Simply a great short par 3 played uphill to a huge two-tiered green. Any shot played to the right of this green will bounce to the left. Hitting your shot the proper distance and a little course knowledge certainly helps on this hole.
The Ordeal- -Hole 9 - Par 5
A tee shot played down the left-center of this fairway will put you in position to play this hole well. Three huge pot bunkers guard the lay-up area so make sure you know the yardages here. Shots played to the green should be aimed at the left portion because everything slopes to the right.
