Muscadine Meadows: Where The Wine Is Better Than The Golf! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 30, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Or perhaps, if you sample enough of their wine, you may start to believe that you are at Flip City. They had a big function going on the day I showed up to play. The huge parking lot was filled w/cars. Like a good boy, I checked with the folks in the wine tasting room and was given the OK to play.

The course is nine holes that weave through the rows of grapes. There is a course rules sign at the start. The large signs list the par, distance and a route, which is usually pretty simple like down to the end of this row and then turn left four rows to the basket. The baskets aren't the best. They are mounted on some repurposed pillars from a marina. And they have a very shallow catcher. Putts will bounce out of these babies. The tees are natural and marked with these large golf ball things.

There are a couple of interesting twists here like on number 3 which is a 445' par 3 but is listed as a 90 degree right turn so plays 347' down, then turn right and go 198'. Or I guess you could cut the corner somehow. #4 is a 602' par 5 with another 90 degree turn. There is a nice variety of distances but throwing down the rows is less than stimulating.

Cons:

Natural pads.

Not much variety.

Rinky dink baskets don't catch well.

Not much in the challenge department.

Not real interesting layout either.

Other Thoughts:

I'm not sure of a good reason to frequent this course. Maybe if your spouse was really into wine, you could sneak in a few rounds while he/she sampled the vino. I recently played Whale Rock in California. It's a top 10 rated course in Cali and deserves that lofty rating. I'm sorry to announce that Muscadine Meadows, however pleasant and welcoming they might be, just isn't worth your time to make the trip here, unless of course you are a serious course bagger. In that case, I highly recommend it.
