Featured Golf Course Review:
| Meadow Brook Club -- Great Dick Wilson design |
| Review by: Dick Dies |
I played this course in July 2005. It was in outstanding condition. There are three sets of "mens" tees, and the course ratings from 74.1/134 to 70.4/125 are accurate descriptions of its difficulty.
The course opens gently with two relatively easy and straightfoward holes. The third hole is long and testing. The fourth is an excellent dogleg left that demands a strong and straight tee shot and an accurate second shot.The fifth is a very shot par four which doglegs left. The green is well bunkered and treacherous--especially if you hit past the hole.
The sixth is a long par 3 with water on the right that can absorb balls hit right avoiding the trees on the left.
Every hole is unique. If the course has a weakness in design it is the large # of doglegs left-#s 3,4,5,7,11,14,and 17.Only #s 8 (second shot), 15 and 18 go to the right.
That said, it is a graet layout and a real test of skill. Bring you best putting game as most greens are huge ( in the 8,000 sq. ft. range)! |

| Review by: WZW |
A true time aged, well defended, 6459yd course. Any avid golfer would enjoy the shotmaking demands of Oswego Country Club. A fantastic display of uneven lies, risk and reward, and tavle top speed greens. Scott Peters and his staff do a outstanding job of bringing the 100 plus old original A.W. Tillhast design perhaps the highest standards in Central New York golf.
With a surrounding warmth felt community to boot. There may not be another place on earth like the port of Oswego, Lake Ontario. |
