Meadowmeer Golf & Country Club

Meadowmeer Golf & Country Club: A Forested Challenge on Bainbridge Island

Tucked into towering firs and vibrant undergrowth on Bainbridge Island, Meadowmeer Golf & Country Club is an understated treasure. Originally designed by Sam Clarke in 1971, this semi-private 9-hole layout unfolds through lush Pacific Northwest woodlands—and when you play from alternate tees on the back nine, it transforms into a full 18 holes.

This isn’t about flashy facades or sprawling estates—it’s about a flawless integration of course and forest. Narrow fairways weave through old-growth trees, bunkers catch errant shots, and rolling undulations create natural character. At 2,824 yards for 9 holes (5,596 yards for 18), par-71, it’s a smart, strategic challenge ()—especially when the greens are firm and fast.
