Parkland NC Border Public
Meadowlands Golf Club
Meadowlands in Calabash came from Willard Byrd and David Johnson in 1997, a par 72 stretching to 7,054 yards over Tifdwarf Bermuda greens. It reads as a fair, well conditioned round that works for a wide range of abilities.

Why groups book it
What you are paying for at Meadowlands Golf Club
The pedigree
Willard Byrd
A Parkland layout that opened in 1997 and plays to a par of 72 over 7,054 yards.
The test
Slope 136
7,054 yards and a slope of 136. Enough teeth to be worth the tee time, fair enough that the whole group finishes with a card worth signing.
The greens
Tifdwarf Bermuda
Putting surfaces are Tifdwarf Bermuda. The practice ground carries a chipping green and a driving range, so the speed is no surprise on the first green.
The verdict
4.3 out of 5
Across 598 reviews left by golfers who booked through us, 86% scored Meadowlands Golf Club four stars or better. None of it is edited and none of it is paid for.

The course
The golf at Meadowlands Golf Club
Length is available here without difficulty being forced on anyone. The card runs to 7,054 yards with a slope of 136, yet the course carries an easy difficulty rating and the reviews consistently describe the layout as fair. One reviewer summed it up as a fun and very fair layout for both men and women, which matches the broader pattern. That combination is genuinely useful on a package trip, because a group with a spread of handicaps can play the same course from different tees and everybody comes in with a score.

Conditioning is the strongest theme in 640 reviews and the tone is positive. Fairways and greens are repeatedly called terrific, phenomenal and in great shape, with several players noting the greens rolled true and fast. The average is 4.25, with 281 five star and 272 four star ratings, 62 threes and 25 reviews at two stars or below. Not every account is glowing, and the qualified reviews tend to land on the same point: some greens need help. Staff draw heavy praise across the sample, appearing near the top of the review language. Several reviewers describe the course as beautiful and say they would come back.
Two problems recur often enough to plan around. Pace of play is the bigger one. Reviewers describe a packed tee sheet, too many tee times booked, and rounds running to five hours with waiting on every tee box. At least one player said they would not return for that reason alone. The second is how the course is marshalled. Several reviewers, particularly senior players and larger groups, found the rangers pushy or disrespectful, pressing groups to speed up in circumstances where there was nowhere to go. Cart path only days also caught a reviewer by surprise and soured the round. Practice facilities are limited to a driving range and chipping green, with no putting green listed, which is worth knowing before arrival on a course where the greens run quick.

The rangers were very disrespectful to the seniors in the group
Greens rolled well and very nice fairways
Nice course. Some greens need help.
Nice track would have been better if we didn’t have to wait for players ahead of us. If we book there again it will be I. The afternoon.
Excellent condition - fairways and greens in terrific condition and greens were rolling true and fast. A fun and very fair layout for both men and women (we are “young” seniors :))! Staff and facilities were great!
Enjoyable playing conditions with a nice staff.
Course was in great shape and the greens were phenomenal.
Outstanding course
Great course. Recommend.
Overall, nice facility somewhat type golf course you may lose a few golf balls here
High marks for taking care of course.
Didn’t get to play due to rain
Too many tee times, tee sheet packed and play was slow from the start. Will likely not return for this reason. Very good golfers can’t be waiting every tee box with 5 hour rounds. French fries were terrible.
Nice course but I played poorly
first three holes had a lot of water but other than that, it was fine
Best course we played all week. I'll be requesting it to be included in future
Enjoyed the course.
Good - don't remember well.
Beautiful course, great shape.
We had a lot of fun playing here with some challenging fun holes.
Great course to play with great amenities
A group of 28 guys and the ranger wanted us to move faster, where we going? Hitting into each other's groups?
I’m 69 years old. When we arrived we were told cart path only. I would have liked to have known that in advance. I would have chosen a different course. Also, relative to other courses in the area it is just ok. Nothing special or interesting.
Excellent condition. Would go back there in a heartbeat.
great course but expected 4hr 20 minute round out of everyone a little much waited on everyhole on front 9 took 2h40 min just there no drop areas on holes having them could speed up play
Have played here in the past and still in good condition with a good layout
Course was in beautiful shape. Enjoyed playing here.
