Rating 69.8

Big Met Golf Course boasts the title of being Ohio's most-played golf course. Since opening in 1926, it has hosted an impressive 6,000,000 rounds of golf. The course is nestled into the Rock River Valley along gently rolling hills. One of the course's defining features is the dike that helps to hold back the Rocky River, which can be viewed from several holes. Although the golf course as it exists now differs dramatically from the original layout thanks to numerous improvements over the years, including lengthening and remodeling the seventh and eighth holes, it has retained the same playability that has earned its reputation. Big Met Golf Course is not overly challenging but there are a few strategically placed bunkers and tricky rough areas, as well as a moderate amount of length.

Good course excrutiatingly slow

On a Sunday, this course not only allowed walkers but older walkers. The round took over 5 1/2 hours to play. There is no way it should ever take more than 4 hours. It was ridiculous. The snack bar is the same for those making the turn as those that are done so we waited in line for 15 minutes to get a dog and a beer at the turn, however it didn't matter because we still had to wait to tee off !!!
