Have played here and in Central Oregon many times. The Meadows course (with afternoon pricing) is very competitive with other courses in the area for price and challenge. Every hole can be seen from the tee, so "what you see is what you get"--very helpful for Resort visitors playing the course for the first time. Greens are always pure. The afternoon risk, such as it is, involves slow play by occasional golfers at the Resort on family vacation. Sometimes it can be painful. Less risk if you pay more and play in the AM. However, the ambience is wonderful, the ball flies farther at 4100 ft, and in all my years playing here I have always been paired with interesting and enjoyable playing partners.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
