Tucked just across the North Carolina state line, Meadowlands Golf Club is a short drive from both historic Wilmington or the entertainment mecca that is Myrtle Beach. Golfers search far and wide to locate a golf course that offers a heritage tied to both the ocean and the rural countryside. If you’re in search of a course that feels like home, you’re in for a treat. Classified as a "hidden gem of the Carolinas,” Meadowlands is sure to provide a memorable experience for players of all levels.

William Byrd and David Johnson designed this championship golf course with the idea of drawing upon the natural beauty of the surrounding Southern landscape with the design of each hole. Tree-lined fairways and overgrown trees are numerous, while the peaceful Carolina countryside also features an abundance of meadows and wetlands throughout this 18-hole course. The diversity of wildlife that golfers may encounter includes alligators and a wide range of birds.

Recent renovations at Meadowlands saw the installation of new UltraDwarf TifEagle Bermuda greens which have been recognized by players as providing the "perfect speed” and "smoothness” that make for a pleasant round of golf. Honored as one of the "Top Ten Best New Courses” by North Carolina Magazine, Meadowlands offers players a memorable round that incorporates old-growth forests and plentiful lakes into the layout of each hole. With several charming yet challenging holes, golfers will find their short game being put to the test in ways that other courses cannot match.

It also comes as no surprise that Meadowlands has been ranked among the more scenic and "woman-friendly” courses in the area. The beautifully wooded design offers the perfect natural landscape for golfers looking to escape the chaos of everyday life.
