The Meadow is a must play. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 4, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Solid mix of open and wooded holes. Woods aren't too thick mst of the time, and from ams there isn't a hole over 400. Pros tees are tougher , but not overwhelming. Allows a variety of throws. Not too hard to score under par from Ams if you're an experienced player. Tee pads are easy to find, and the course is usually in good shape. This course offers pro and am tees and the pins change based on the season, so its a variety of scores you can get. Concrete pads and good baskets. Numerous aceable holes. Possibility of losing discs isn't too high except for some heavy shrub on a few holes, especially in the summer, and there are no water hazards if you have trouble with those types of holes. Has a 19th hole that can played at the end, and can be used for putting practice.

Cons:

A few holes can be flooded, and 8 could have more trash pick up. When the weather is nice, the players come out, so sometimes they're might be a wait. Sometimes people will play soccer on hole 2 later in the day, so be aware of that.

Other Thoughts:

I'm not originally from Greenville, but attend school at ECU, so I consider this course a hometown course since I've played it many times. Arguably my most favorite course, and my most favorite to play. Have to at least play this once.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 16, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

good course the wooded part is not bad about brush since this dg course is always packed. Good mix of shots, hole 2 lets you rip it, the dg guys around here seem to really get involved in help making the course better.

Cons:

a little hard to navigate for first time players, overcrowded as the only dg course in a college town, bad neighborhood so be aware if you play here, its not the people that use this park its the area its in which is a ghetto.

Other Thoughts:

this is my home course I like it, hole 10 has 4 diffrent teepads now which is good one is really hard, long tees are not kept up as good no benches or trash cans etc. good course though

good course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 21, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

mostly easy par holes for me as a fairly inconsistant player. good course to build confidence for newer players and players who are inconsistant at other courses. i dont play often enough to be really good at the game but courses like this with a nice mix of shorter holes with multiple tees help build my confidence for tougher corses.

Cons:

fire ants were all around the park and one of the holes had wasps under the bench. this is just me being picky to put something in the cons section.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 27, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

-It's not hard to find your way around
-Concrete Tee Pads
-Benches and Garbage Cans at most holes
-Tee Signs are extra helpful
-Variety of shots to use
-Clean and Safe Park

Cons:

-Hole 8 was completely submerged in water (up to the seat of the benches)
-Tee Pads are shorter than I'm used too
-Sometimes the following tee is right behind the basket so you may need to wait until the group ahead of you tees off

Other Thoughts:

While I was there a tournament was starting up. Like I said hole 8 was submerged along with # 9's tee. They set up an alternate tee for # 9 and had a # 19 to make up for hole #8.
There is an airport across the street but I only saw a small (really cool looking) plane pass by while I was there, no loud noise. Glad I played there!

A Blast to Play 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 14, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

I really liked the layout of the course. It flowed well and it was fairly easy to navigate from hole to hole, except for a stretch on the back from Hole 14 - 17. A mix of open and tight shots, but mostly open. Great tee signs, great directional signs. Two concrete pads for every hole. Long tees were a little challenging, while the short tees were good for beginners.
The hole designs were well thought-out.

Cons:

It was a little wet when we played, especially Hole 8. As other reviewers have mentioned, a few of the holes play across an open field that has bleachers on it. I imagine that it can be difficult to play your throw when another game (soccer?) is in progress. I would've liked some longer Par 4 or Par 5-type holes. Sometimes it felt like a pitch and putt. No Rest Room facilities, did I miss them? Not much elevation. Some of the holes on the back are blind holes. Play the course at least twice to figure out where everything is.

Other Thoughts:

BEAUTIFUL park!!! We saw two deer grazing during the evening when we were finishing up. A lot of work has gone into this park and I commend the local club. The hard work was evident.
There's a nice playground for the kiddies.
The neighborhood looks a little rough, but I didn't see any signs of problems while I was there. I've seen worse.

Pros:

concrete tee's, good mix of short and long, open tight, left rights. lots of fun to play with shorter holes and chances for aces. there are not really any water hazards. The course has a good mix of tees and some alternate pins.

Cons:

the location. playing through a mob of soccer players is not fun. course usually has trash on it. sometimes there is a wait but not often at all. not too challenging.

Other Thoughts:

a good way to have relaxed day or go with beginners. its fairly easy to get a good score. no discs lost. near some good food and other stuff in greenville.

Great Open Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 20, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course had many shots that started out open, then ended in the woods. Great variation. The longest hole was about 340 ft, so you don't have to have a big arm to be able to score well here. Although most holes were fairly open, the course was surprisingly technical. There are two sets of tees for every hole, so players of any skill level can enjoy this course. Some holes have alternate pin placements. Hole 15's pin placement changes every season. Nice concrete tees, detailed tee signs, benches, and discatcher baskets.

Cons:

There are too many rightward shots. RHFH and LHBH players are definitely favored at this course. I played after it had rained and the course was very muddy in some areas. The tee for hole 8 was in the middle of a 4 inch deep puddle that was about 20 ft across. I had to put a log down and walk across to get to the tee. Because most holes are open, games on windy days are really affected. Also, the course was fairly difficult to navigate in a few places (although there is a map in the links section can that be printed out).

Other Thoughts:

This is a really fun course. It isn't too hard to score well so it can be a real confidence booster. I had a little trouble finding the park. Definitely use the directions on the course info tab.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 26, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Lots of grassy fairways with holes of varying lengths and difficulties. Usually a few options for shot selection off the tee; the wide fairways often allow for straight to wide hyzer or annys. Alt. pin placements for holes 11, 12, 13, 15. Good concrete teepads and nice teesigns with a map of each hole and the pin placement. Check out the Down East Player's Cup every October, this is an excellent PDGA event that pays out very well for ams.

Cons:

Part of the course is used for pickup soccer games. This course will not likely test every shot in your bag. Wish there were more risk/reward opportunities, since to score well you must go for almost everything.

Other Thoughts:

Mostly open, grassy fairways. Pitch and putt from the white tees, and from the blue tees still almost all par 3s, just more challenging. Be prepared to make alot of 2s from the white tees if you expect to place well in tournament play. The white(short) tees favor lefty backhand shots while the blue(long) tees favor righty's.

Course accross the Tar River 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 23, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Well for starters, its my declared home course and have played it several hundred times. Therefore I am a little biased to love it. However it is a great all around course for beginners and pros alike. East Carolina University is about 5 miles up the road so there are plenty of players that are always out there and know the course well. has a great mix of open and wooded holes, and many with a mix of both. Hole 15 has 4 different pin settings that are changed with the seasons. It is in a park that is very friendly to picnics and other family recreation. The local club does a great job of maintaining cleanliness and occasionally has work days to maintain the physical appearance(mowing, limbs, clearing hazards).

Cons:

On slightly negative aspect is the location. It is prolly not in the best neighborhood in Greenville. A lot of times there will be people playing soccer on the second hole which doubles as a field for many recreators. But if you just get their attention you can usually throw by them fairly easy. If you are planning to play in the dead heat of summer, fire ants will prolly be a nuisance while you are there. Just look at your disc before you pick it up. It has gotten better in recent years with the club cleaning the area up, but on some holes if you steer of course it can take awhile to find it

Other Thoughts:

Lots of opportunities for aces so go and get'm

the meadow 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 6, 2008 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I rate this one a 5 just because this is where I learned the game. I love this course. I can't tell you how many rounds I played there. Good layout, tee boxes, well kept, just an awesome course.

Cons:

Only bad thing is when people are using the field in between holes 2, 3, and 4. I am always scared about taking someones head off because there are a ton of people out there playing soccer. Also this course holds water pretty bad during the rainy season.

Other Thoughts:

I miss this course. I moved to Rocky Mount and have been playing all of these courses they have here but none compare to THE MEADOW!!!!!!!!!

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 28, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Very well marked and maintained course, with two concrete tees at every hole, and tee signs with course diagrams and distances. You'll have no trouble finding your way around. (The only potential issue is finding the #8 tee, but there are multiple signs to help you find your way.) The course has a good variety of open and woods holes, with most holes generally in the open, although with obstacles and such to punish errant throws. Most importantly, the course is fun to play. You might want to play two.

Cons:

Even from the "pro" tees, advanced players will probably find the course too open and too short for their taste. It's definitely more of a recreational course than a championship course. Errant throws on some holes may end up amongst a thick bed of thorned plants, so retrieving your disc after a bad throw may be a bit of an adventure.

Other Thoughts:

Being a recreational player, I really liked this course. Given how many tight, technical courses there are in North Carolina, this course provided a nice change of pace. And unlike most "recreational" course, this course had a top notch look-and-feel to it.
