Meadowbrook Municipal at Meadowbrook Golf Course

Meadowbrook Municipal Golf Course sits in east Fort Worth, designed by John Bredemus and opened in 1956. Bredemus, a Texas-based architect active in the mid-twentieth century, created numerous municipal layouts across the state during this period. The course occupies relatively flat terrain typical of the Fort Worth area, with mature trees lining many fairways providing definition and strategic interest on what would otherwise be open ground.

As a municipal facility, Meadowbrook serves the local golfing community with an accessible, straightforward design that emphasizes playability for a wide range of skill levels. The layout features traditional parkland characteristics common to Texas municipal courses of its era, with tree-lined corridors, modest bunkering, and greens of moderate size and contour. Water comes into play on several holes, adding variety to the routing.

The course operates within Fort Worth's municipal golf system, which has historically provided affordable public golf to residents and visitors. Meadowbrook's design reflects the practical considerations of municipal golf from the 1950s: maintainable turf conditions, efficient routing, and a balance between challenge and accessibility. The mature tree canopy that has developed over decades now defines much of the playing character, requiring accuracy from the tee and thoughtful course management on approach shots.
