Meadowcreek Golf Course
Virginia Golf Course Reviews recently visited the municipal course, Meadowcreek Golf Course, in Charlottesville. The first nine was built in 1974 by Raymond Loving. An additional nine was later added by Bill Love of Ault, Clark & Assoc to create a Par 71 course. In March 2024, Troon Golf assumed management and has been in charge of maintenance since 2019. Troon has and will continue to make some needed adjustments that will benefit the course and its amenities.
Our team apparently enjoyed the visit. Despite the heat, the experience was most enjoyable. The course irrigation system is being replaced, otherwise, it was in great shape. Yes, drought and extreme heat are hard on any course, we notice. That didn't keep the team from enjoying the layout and the challenges created by Buddy Loving and Bill Love. With over 45,000 rounds per year, you can expect a little wear & tear. The maintenance crew are heroes!
The course layout is fun and challenging. It's fair with a few holes that require strategy and precision. We love the finishing stretch on holes 16-18. There are scoring opportunities with challenges to keep you focused to the end.
Hole 7 is a challenging par 4 with a hill to the left that kicks your ball back down to the generous fairway, before you approach a steep uphill shot to the elevated green! The flagstick here is about 10' tall!
Hole 17 is the best hole on the course - our opinion. A 200 yard par 3 from the tips over a pond. A river funs along the left and trees to the right! What could possibly go wrong?
While owned by the City of Charlottesville, the course is managed by Troon. Their commitment is to create a quality public golf experience, accessible to players of all abilities. They host many events for their patrons to spread the love of golf around!
When you book, make sure you tell them Virginia Golf Course Reviews sent you.
