Designed by internationally acclaimed Golf Course Architect Rick Robbins, these two new holes are only the beginning of our future renovations. Lt. Gov. Dalton praised the beauty of the new holes and Meadowbrook’s progress as part of the vision its founders, the late Carson Deck and the late Kenneth Deck, had for Meadowbrook and the new development, Carolina Hills at Meadowbrook, which surrounds the golf course. Other remarks were made by Rick Robbins, William Deck, Meadowbrook’s Golf Professional, and Paul Deck, President of Carolina Hills at Meadowbrook.
Our new holes were christened by two feature foursomes. The first group included Rick Robbins, Walter Dalton, Claude Keever, our current Senior Club Champion, as well as Paul Deck, President of Carolina Hills at Meadowbrook. The next group included our Superintendent, Johnny Baker, our current Club Champion, Jimmy Reynolds, Gary McMurray, who did the golf course construction and Meadowbrook Golf Professional, William Deck.
The two new holes, 10 and 11, begin the back nine with two par fours. Both offer five sets of tees, large greens, and lush 419 hybrid Bermuda fairways in addition to water and bunkers that provide both a challenge and playability for all levels of golfers. Hole number 10 measures 405 yards from the back tees; hole number 11 measures 440 yards from its back tees. Keeping par at 36, hole 18 is being used as a par 3 measuring 165 yards from its back tees. Previous holes #10 and #11 were a part of Meadowbrook’s original layout, built in 1963 by Golf Course Architect William B. Lewis.
