The long par-4 seventh offers a full experience of Meadow Club’s sublime setting. Off the tee, the test is navigating the small creek that cuts into the fairway. Challenging it by playing left yields a superior angle and shorter approach shot. The hole then turns into a narrow valley, and the green sits at the base of a mountain, with gorgeous valley oaks behind. Sitting on the natural slope, the green tilts severely from back to front. Hopefully in the coming years the creek will be fully restored so that it cuts across the entire seventh fairway as well as through the neighboring 12th hole.
