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??

just got done playing 27 holes at meriwether national. i played the South and then West and North (regular 18). i was extremely surprised with how great the condition was. the greens were fast and true. extremely firm and a true test of your putting stroke. the tee boxes were in great shape, no problem trying to get a tee in the ground, which can be a challenge at time during the summer. fairways had a great roll to them and ball sat up really nicely on them. the rough was browning out and thin in the areas that the irrigation couldn't reach, but that is to be expected with the central line irrigation down the center of fairways. they seem to have recently completed a bunker renovation on West/North course and in the middle of it on the South. it looks amazing. sand levels were good and bunkers were consistent throughout. they do look great and are alot larger and extremely well maintained, especially the work on #8 West, the Par 3 bunker was an eye sore and now it is a true feature of the hole. all in all i was more then happy with the experience here again. the flowers at the entry way right through to the fantastic green color throughout the course made it a pleasure to play on. i will be back again, SOON!!!!

played trails on march 17th. course was in fantastic condition. however i was shocked with how bad the caddies were on this course. we were playing and keeping up with all the groups ahead, however the group behind us with 4 caddies were knocking shots down on top of us. i was very surprised the caddies didn't say anything to them. i was shocked and disappointed with how they acted. bandon resort does a fantastic job and i don't want to take away from that, but however. the caddy master needs to explain course manners to the caddys.
