\n\tHappy 25th Birthday Grande Meadows<\/b><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/em><\/u><\/p>\n

\n\tGrande Meadows for recently celebrating it’s 25th Anniversary of opening. The years have passed by fairly quickly and the course has matured into one of the finest tests of golf in Newfoundland. Grande Meadows is know for it’s narrow fairways, thick rough and quick greens. You don’t have to be long off the tee but you had better be straight or you will have your work cut out for you trying to make par on any of the holes. The course becomes even more challenging when you add in wind which happens most days at Grande Meadows Golf Course. Below are the links to a few photos taken throughout the years of the area of Frenchman’s Cove where Grande Meadow is located.<\/span><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
