I just played Meadowbrook today, after a week's worth of on again, off again rain.

I regret to say the conditions were subpar:
Greens - 1/3 of them we so sparse and bumpy that you had no hope the ball would hold its line when the ball decelerates. Greens were soft and held approaches well, but when you had to putt on them, it was quite disappointing.
Fairways - not overseeded for the winter, which is understandable b/c it's so costly, but there were many damaged areas, ground under repair type surface, right in the middle of the fairway and around the green complex. Didn't look like many of the old divots were sanded in either.
Bunkers - were raked but b/c of the recent rains, they were a bit inconsistent, some hard packed, some fluffy. I did not deduct any points for the shape of the bunkers on my rating b/c of the recent wet weather.
teeboxes - were the only good part of the course, mostly flat and verdant

I regret to inform you that management is definitely starting to let this place go, which is quite a disappointment since it's one of my favorite layouts in town.
