Meadows Farms, Locust Grove, VA

This course has three 9 hole courses with some unusual holes, the only par 6 in the US, a waterfall hole, an island green, and a hole shaped like a baseball diamond.  We played the course with the par 6 and the one with the island green.  The day we played there were thunderstorms threatening so we decided to play best ball and we did kind of rush through the course.  We really enjoyed it and would love to golf there again.  The clubhouse was small and there was no cart girl.  There were only porta-johns on the course and I didn't use any of them so can't talk about there condition.  There were some really fun holes, par 3s, 4s & 5s.  We each played the par 6 and each got a 9...not bad considering we had to go over water twice!  The course was not crowded, probably considering the weather.  We met the owner who was very nice.  The lady at the counter was rude and didn't really know what she was doing.  They DO NOT give rain checks according to her.  It was priced OK at $39 (but that was the price for 9 and a "replay" which we had to argue to get because of the weather).  The fairways were not in the best condition and the rough was kind of long.  Don't know if it would be better later in the season.  Most of the greens were in good condition though.  Would really like to do this course again when the weather was nicer and we could take our time.  Of course I don't know when we'll be in Virginia again!
