i played meriwether as part of a 4 ball today. it was extremely enjoyable. firstly i would like to address the previous reviews by NICKESQUIRE1. the golf course is not 'waiting for the rainy season'. it is central line irrigation. which means the there just sprinklers up the middle of the fairways and not out in the rough. this means that when irrigating you might hit some of the rough, but for the most part you just have water hitting the fairways. it is an old style irrigation system, but it is a huge huge HUGE expense to install a new one.
anyway. back to the review. it has been a while since i played and was extremely happy with how the course played. fairways were lush and green, played real nice off them. the rough was brown due to the hot weather there has been, but gave fantastic contrast to the fairways. hard pan is part of golf, it always has been and always will. it is just part of it. you make do with it! the surrounds around greens were also lush and easy to play off. we played the north and south as our 18 holes.
i strongly disagree with NICKESQUIRE1 review of the south. it is far from a waste of money. the greens roll great. visually they might not look the most appealing in the world at times, but they roll true and good pace. at the end of the day, i dont care one bit what the greens look like if when i putt on them, they roll true. that is all that matters right??
