Meadowbrook is a nine-hole golf course located in central New York, just off New York State
Thruway exit 40, midway between Rochester and Syracuse. James and Dee Ball started the course
in 1968 on land that had been their family dairy farm. The Balls ran the course until 1985,
using the family house as a clubhouse. In 1985 they sold the course to Robert Beardsley and
Marlin Hutton. In 1990 Marlin and Suzanne Hutton bought Mr. Beardsley’s share and operated the
business until May 2008.
The Hutton’s made many changes to the property and the business during
their 18 years of ownership. A full Toro watering system was added in 1988 and was upgraded to
an automatic system in 2000. New, improved drainage systems were installed. All the original
barns were torn down in 1991 and a new 40 by 80 foot pole barn was built serving as the equipment
barn. In 1996 a new clubhouse was built on the site of the old farmhouse. Many of the greens and
tees have been redone or newly built.
In May 2008, PGA Golf Professional Trey Walewski and his
wife Tina purchased Meadowbrook from Marlin and Suzanne Hutton. Meadowbrook remains a family
owned and operated business; Trey and Tina along with their daughters Taylor and Sydney are very
exited to become a part of the community and look forward to welcoming everyone to Meadowbrook
Golf Club.
The par 35 course plays to an 18-hole length of 5,875 yards from two sets of
men’s tees. Water comes into play on seven of the nine holes, which make decisions about shot
selection very important.
