Meadows Farms Golf Course

About Meadows Farms Golf Course:

The 180 acre course has been designed by Bill Ward, Jr. - an up and coming designer with six golf courses to his credit - the latest - a Championship Course in Cumberland, Maryland. Ward has put maximum effort into designing 27 holes, each one with a distinct character.

Designing 27 holes, each one with a distinct character to offer a wide range of challenges and experiences. Maximum effort has been put in individualizing each hole so that the golfer will feel as if he/she has played 27 different courses rather than playing the same hole 27 times. Each hole has a story to tell. The Signature hole is a par 6 (the only one in Virginia), and when played from the championship tee is 841 yards.

This is recognized by the Guinness' book of records as "The Longest Hole in the United States." The design gives every level of golfer an option on how to play the hole - challenging not just the golf pro and the low-handicapper but the same advantages for the high-handicapper. Plans provide appropriate tees for women - planned and constructed from the beginning not just an afterthought. The course is fair but challenging - any kind of tournament, professional play or otherwise will be possible.
