Big Met Golf Course

It took 2.5 hours to play 7 holes before I had to quit.

The course is always in great shape for how much play it gets. When going out there during the busy hours expect rounds to take much longer than they should.

Relaxing surroundings, great conditions. Perhaps not as challenging as a few of the other "park" courses, but certainly as much fun.

Thought that golfers were usually very easy to get along with, my experience has changed..... However the course and the staff were awesome. Golfing at Big Met isslakways a great time.

I had fun playing on a day when there had been rain in the morning. Few people were on the course when I arrived. The course appears to have a great drainage system because it didn't seem to be overwhelmed by the rains from that morning. I had a lot of fun playing here, and the found the staff very welcoming.

Big Met is notorious for slow play, but taking 4:20 on a holiday is not that terrible. It would have been better if we had 4, but we had 2 and had to wait on nearly every shot. The conditions were above average with nice fairways and greens. Although I have numerous questions about this course set up. The fairways are very narrow, the rough is longer than other public courses in the area, and there were several mickey mouse pin placements. For a course that routinely struggles with pace of play all of these decisions seems counter intuitive to the enjoyment of the course. Narrow fairways and longer rough mean shorter drives and more time spent looking for balls. Tight pins mean less greens hit and more putts. Maybe they are setting up for the Metroparks championships, maybe they get sooo much play no matter what, they don't care. I live 5 minutes away and don't play here very often for these reasons. It is better suited to 9 holes after work during the week than an 18 hole slog on weekends. This course is rated as an ego builder, let it be that instead of pushing it to the limits. Very easy to walk, and pretty in the fall though.

Played with another single player and we were able to really move around the course quickly. Most of the course was in good shape, some of the rough was long enough to lose a ball but otherwise, it was great.

A very fun course. We got a great rate through Tee Off. The greens putt true but the rough is truly rough.

Nice course for the price. Round was very quick mostly because the weather wasn't ideal. Course is in good condition.

Course was in great shape and not too crowded. Staff friendly and accommodating.

I play three or four times a year big met all in good shape. On weekend the piece lil bids high for metro course,but no golf now hot deals is very good for book a tee time. Thank you GolfNow....

We played on a Monday afternoon so the course was wide open.

Nice layout, well manicured.

$12 for 18 holes for a hot deal.... can't beat it!

Service in clubhouse was sub par but other than that, will definitely return.

Love this course as far as the layout and the condition. The only problem is, it's a metroparks course where every beginner in the city goes. The pace of play is pathetic on the weekends, it will take a foursome 5-6 hrs to play 18 on a weekend.

Course was in good shape, except the greens we just aerated, which Golf Now did warn me about,,, I'd wait a couple weeks for them to grow back in before I go there again... I know it has to be done but putting was ridiculous.. Also this is the second time I've played there where the fairway mowers have set down the yardage stakes,, and then not put them back up,, they don't do much good laying over in the rough. Other wise it was still a fun round,, great course all in all.

I played Big Met for the first time yesterday, and I must say I was very pleased. Pace of play was a little slow to start out but this is because I was by myself and got behind a foursome, thankfully they let me play through and I zipped right through the course. Each hole was very well maintained, especially the greens. Not overly challenging but fun to play nonetheless. I most certainly will be bringing my golfing buddies back to play here soon, especially since I only got to play to back nine.

Staff was very friendly. Well worth the 50+ mile drive.

Absolutely the best course in the area.

Visiting from Florida and had s great time.p
