Made it down to Meadowlark GC 10/29/26. Late afternoon 18 holes, on a great day to be out on the course from a weather perspective. Meadowlark is in decent condition, the tee boxes are uneven and need some love, however the fairways and rough were in good condition, and most of the greens were in good condition, a little slow at times and few spots were sanded but nothing crazy. The sand was fine, although I managed to miss all of it today. Meadowlark has some really tricky holes. If you don't know what to do here it can cost you. If you play it a few times, this course becomes easier. The greens are small in spots, and some of the back 9 greens are turtlebacked, creating a more challenging environment.

The facility is not bad at all. The bar looks like it has been renovated, and lots of people there hanging out after the round. The food was really good, and everything was fresh to order. The carts need some love, but the range had new balls. A good place to practice for sure. If I lived closer I would work this course into my rotation. I would play here again.

The Mountain course is closed for overseeding, so have played nothing but Canyon recently. Usually 4 - 4.5H rounds with a group when it's CPO, which it will be until the end of October. Lush all around. Greens firm and medium fast. Everything in almost perfect condition with the weather most afternoons in the low 80's and calm. Customer service excellent and attentive.

Nice carts, GPS a +. Excellent practice facility. Good restaurant for a golf course with a decent selection. Highly recommended.

Played this AM. Course just did aeration and had a special for play so we took advantage of it.

Surpisingly the greens were decent and already much of the sand had disappeared and the holes were not large either. Some of them still had speed in them. So a decent putting round even with aeration.

Played this AM. Course just did aeration and had a special for play so we took advantage of it.

Surpisingly the greens were decent and already much of the sand had disappeared and the holes were not large either. Some of them still had speed in them. So a decent putting round even with aeration.

Cool to start and stayed overcast all AM. Typical weather around Halloween.

Tee boxes were all in good shape and playable.

Fairways were a little damp so not much roll out but good lies all round.

Rough was playable just off fairways but farther out not so. Sticky and damp around the greens.

Traps all playable and heard no complaints.

Great customer service in the shop and from the starter.

One of the better public courses for sure here in N CA. Even better that the clubhouse is under a mile from my home.

Played in the ABMC Scramble Event on Tuesday, October 27, and the golf course is in very good condition. Most importantly, I’d consider the greens fully recovered from the aeration process, which was completed exactly four weeks ago, with the only blemish being a few remnants of old ball marks that weren’t attended to in a timely manner.

Played in the ABMC Scramble Event on Tuesday, October 27, and the golf course is in very good condition. Most importantly, I’d consider the greens fully recovered from the aeration process, which was completed exactly four weeks ago, with the only blemish being a few remnants of old ball marks that weren’t attended to in a timely manner.

From a performance perspective, the speeds were a consistent medium-quick pace and rolled fairly true and smooth. While our team missed some makable putts, it would be unfair to pin the blame on the greens. Putts that lacked enough speed broke quite a bit near the cup while those hit just a bit too firm refused to take the break.

With regard to approach shots, I thought the surfaces tended to play on the firm side. Shots hit with a good amount of spin rolled out more than anticipated, whether it was a full iron shot or greenside pitch. For what it’s worth, I was told they’ve been doing a lot of mowing and rolling of the greens over the past couple of weeks, which may explain this.

Fairways were healthy, offered full coverage, and were uniformly cut. As a result, having a good lie to play from was a given. While you may find a few patches of ‘rogue’ turf on a couple of holes, I didn’t notice any bare spots on the course this time around.

We weren’t forced to play out of any bunkers but they were meticulously presented. Fringe areas were in solid shape and tightly mown, which basically eliminated flop shots from around the green, unless the ball happened to be in the rough.

Speaking of the rough, in my view, it’s the great equalizer…or punisher…whether it be along the fairway or surrounding the green. The turf is thick, wiry, and fluffy at the same time, so every shot varies and is determined by the lie. My advice? Avoid at all costs if possible…your scorecard will thank you.

Tee boxes were in good shape, including the Par-3s. I didn’t detect any unevenness but that’s based on where I happened to be hitting from. Didn’t hear of any issues with my playing partners either.

Overall, I give the course a worthy thumbs-up as we head into the latter part of the year. It checked off just about every box as far as conditioning and playability are concerned so now is a good time to get out there.

Rates were increased $3.00 across the board on October 1st but the Per Person Cart Fees remained stable at $22.00 Military and $24.00 Civilian. It’s still a great value compared to other courses in the area, which is further enhanced by the option to walk. Combine all the above with a solid layout that offers a variety of challenges…what’s not to like?

Played 10-24-26 afternoon riding as a single, and finishing in about 2 1/2 hours. Overall course is in real good condition. Fairways are mostly green with great lies and decent roll out. Rough was very lush and playing 2-3 inches. Was in one greenside bunker that had a good layer of nice white sand. A few of the tee boxes were a little thin, but still playable and level.

Greens were in great shape, rolling smooth and fast and playing a little on the soft side. Fun course to play. Would not hesitate to play here.
