About
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.

Great Metroparks golf course
This course ranks among the best public courses in the area. It sits in the Metroparks along Rocky River and is very scenic. The narrow fairways and tight greens makes it a challenging course. Given the amount of play this course gets, it was in great shape.
Stolen Range Finder
Lost my range finder after golfing there, called in and they claimed they had it. When I went in to retrieve it it was no longer there. They either just gave a $300 range finder away to a random person or an employee has it. From my understanding range finders don’t have legs to walk away
Good basic course
The course doesn’t have too many tricks. I liked that you could see what was in front of you, very few blind shots, which is a huge plus when it’s your first time playing the course. The course was in great condition. There were a couple groups that didn’t seem to care who they were slowing up, and golfed on their time even though there would be three groups waiting behind them. A lot of beginners go to this course, which slows things down as well. But overall pace of play wasn’t terrible. I was golfing by myself and course staff had no issues with letting me play alone and play two balls the whole round. Huge credit to the course for that. Overall very good experience and fun easy course to get an affordable round in.
If you have time on your hands.
The course is in good shape, greens are nice, tee boxes average, rough is thick, but the speed of play is slow to very slow. I have played the course twice this year, Fathers Day and the 4th of July. Granted both are holidays but I have played many courses. You had to wait several minutes for every shot you took both times I have played.
I love Big Met... BUT!!!!
We played behind 3 fat clowns that preferred to talk loudly to each other instead of hitting their tee shots. And, when they got on the greens they spent more time studying than actually putting. Had there been a ranger moving them and their big yaps along it would have been a great day on the course. Judging by the fact that one was a lefty and one wore a girlie-man visor backwards I am hoping they were just visiting from California and will never return to NE Ohio.
Nice Course
Nice, relaxing 9 holes. A good course. No issues.
Single golfer
Can't get a tee time online for 1 golfer. No guarantee to play as a walk up single player. No rain checks if you can't get out. Not a good public course option. If you do play,plan on 5-6 hours.
Open
Very open course, pace was the worst I’ve ever experienced
West Park Country Club
Excellent conditions after recent aeration. Completely healed.
Back 9 holes as good as any course around.
The starters do a great job on the first tee despite dealing with a variety of golfers & personalities.
A good value
The course was in very good shape considering its one of most played in ohio. For myself I had the opportunity to play with two very good groups of people.
