The Meadow Links 9-hole course is a par 31 with five par 3's and four par 4's. Three sets of tees ranging between 1,285 and 2,100 total yardage allow the course to be easily enjoyed by beginning golfers while challenging those that have more experience.

The 260 degree circular design of the practice facility has been ranked one of the Top 50 in the country by Golf Range Magazine the last three years. The unique design of the natural turf practice area offers the opportunity to work on different types of golf shots. Whether it's your driver, long irons, chipping, pitching, up down and side hill lies, natural turf practice area offers it all. The covered and heated driving range provides for year-round practice, and the program center allows PGA professionals to work with individuals or groups in a fun and non-intimidating atmosphere.

Based upon positive results from our 2016 turf conversion trial, selected areas of fairway turf on holes 4, 8 and 9 are in the process of being converted to Zoysia turf this year. Zoysia is a warm-season grass which spreads by runners, creates a wear-resistant and dense mat of turf which allows the ball to sit higher, providing a better lie. The areas being converted will be obvious as you play your round. Zoysia turf is already being used successfully at several local golf courses.

It is our expectation that this turf conversion will demonstrate the ability of Zoysia turf to improve both playability and sustainability, while also reducing maintenance costs. 

• Zoysia turf has proven to be extremely heat and drought resistant, allowing for consistent playing conditions even through summer stress periods. The Regulation 9 fairways are not irrigated at Little Miami Golf Center, and Zoysia will thrive better under this condition than current grass varieties.
  
• Zoysia turf requires almost no fertilization, and will significantly cost less to maintain each season. Other associated environmental concerns with fertilizer run-off into surface waters will also be greatly reduced.
  
• Zoysia turf is significantly less susceptible to pests and pathogens than most other turfgrass varieties. Once Zoysia fairways are established, there will be decreased loss of playability due to turfgrass pest damage.

Gary Bushorn Gary believes that golf should be fun. The problem many students face is that it isn’t always clear how to do that. His approach to teaching golf is clear and concise instruction. Gary helps his students address fundamentals in the simplest way and shows them how to adapt the knowledge gained to improve their skills. The game is a simple one, but playing it well isn’t always so. Gary shows players how to keep it simple and keep it fun.

Roy Carmichael Roy Carmichael played professional hockey before gravitating to golf, a natural progression. Both sports are a “ball-puck-stick” sport, swinging on a similar plane with a natural athletic motion to a defined target position. Roy’s philosophy is based on simple fundamentals and a natural awareness, rather than some position to position, geometric design. His influences have been enhanced by Ernst Jones, Fred Shoemaker and Bill Melhorne. Before coming to Meadow Links, Roy taught students at Brown’s Run Country Club, Sycamore Creek Country Club and Wildwood Country Club He also created the city of Dayton’s first Junior Golf Program.
