Nice long, hilly, challenging, well maintained, public golf course. Played a round there recently…read moreand was forewarned that the fairways were pretty tight and there were many blind shots. Everything was true. There was not a single hole where I felt comfortable hitting the driver off the tee. It was 3 wood or my trusty hybrid pretty much all the way, except for the par 3s, naturally. A few tee boxes were beat up a little. The fairways and greens were all in good shape. But there was plenty of trouble lurking if you missed the fairway. The rough was high to near impossible to get out of, plus there were plenty of thick woods and high reeds to gobble up to your wayward shot. Even playing the white tees the course seemed longer than most public courses. Yes it is a challenging course forcing you to play positional golf for much of the round. But by no means was it unfair. $67 for 18 with cart on Sunday, which seemed a little steep. I understand Peabody residents get a discount as the course is owned by the town. My only real gripe was the snack bar just ran out of hotdogs when we made the turn after nine :( I played well, hitting the shorter woods, and was happy with my round. I would definitely play it again.

A nicely kept, fairly difficult course. The greens are in good shape…read more However, the signage on the course is virtually nonexistent. We got lost three times looking for the next tee. Asked another cart only to find they were lost too. Very frustrating. We play lots of golf but this course was a new low in layout and signage. PS. Get a cart. Two years later we went back. Very sad to see the state of the course. Every course on the north shore is lush from the rains but not the Meadow. Either the greenskeeper isn't s greenskeeper or the city is not giving them money to maintain the course. The fairways are patches of grass surrounded by thousands of divots. The place needs mowing by professionals. Scrapes and scalps everywhere. The rough is all clover and ridiculously high. We lost seven balls that were a couple of feet off the fairway. Not a fun place to play. At least the signage is better.

Many blind shots make the course puzzling until you've played it a few times. From the 7th tee, you have literally no idea of the length, shape, or overall difficulty of the hole, other than that the tee shot goes up a steep hill - once you get up there, you realize it's a birdie hole, but that's typical of this clever layout. Keep your wits about you and make smart shots - start spraying it around, and you'll be punished! Course conditions are hardly luxurious, but pretty good for a muni. Staff are friendly and helpful. Green fee is cheap: $24 on a weekend for a non-resident. Recommended!

We used my dad's Kernwood membership to go. We made a reservation for 7 people for a summer Saturday night at 6:45. We got there at around 6:15 to have a drink on the patio before dinner. There was a wedding that evening but the staff was super sweet and reserved some tables on the patio for guests to sit at. Service getting drinks was a little slow which was understandable. Once the wedding party moved off the patio service definitely improved. We were seated for dinner inside and the dining room was probably at half capacity. This was great because it meant my grandfather could hear us all no problem. For my appetizer I got the tomato mozzarella salad which was okay, nothing to write home about. I also tried my aunt's tuna tar tar which was delicious and really spicy. For my main I got the rack of lamb. I ordered it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. It also came with two sides. I loved that I had the option to choose my own sides. I got the broccoli and the mashed potatoes. Both were simple and delicious.

Second issue, around 10:15pm we decided to watch the NBA All-Star dunk contest and figured we'd be there until close (11pm). At 10:40pm, the guy who was running the front desk just shut off the TV with no warning... didn't tell us to leave and just started cleaning up. Would've been nice to get some sort of warning and a heads up like "hey guys we have to close up early so sorry but I need to shut this down"... customer service was clearly lacking with this crew.
