Viking Meadows Golf Club

What is the course like?:
The course was built in 1999. This facility has an eighteen hole regulation course and a nine hole executive course, which was added in 1999. The regulation Meadows Course was built on gently rolling hills, so you can expect many uneven lies. The tree-lined fairways are narrow, and the large greens are fast. Water hazards come into play on five holes. Shot accuracy is at a premium because out-of-bounds stakes line thirteen holes. True to its name, the Woods Course has plenty of trees surrounding the undulating fairways and greens. The natural terrain, along with three par 4's, combine to provide more of a challenge than the average executive course. Senior and junior discounts are only available on weekdays. The course includes waterhazards. And has 1-10 sandbunkers.
