The Meadows
About The Meadows
The Meadows is a Joel Goldstrand design in Moorhead, Minnesota, built in the style of traditional Scottish links golf. Mounding, tall prairie grasses, wildflowers, bunkers, a concealed creek and steady winds shape the challenge, and no trees come into play anywhere on the course.
The layout is arranged as three six-hole loops, with the 6th, 12th and 18th greens all finishing near the clubhouse. Five sets of tees stretch the course from 5,150 yards up front to 6,862 yards from the championship markers. Because the wind shifts from day to day, the course rarely plays the same way twice.
