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.

Beautiful and Well Maintained
Challenging course that has a little bit of everything. Very well maintained fairways and greens. Pace of play a bit slow but would definitely recommend a visit.
Awesome Course
Very well maintained, beautiful course. Greens and fairways were in great shape.
Greens are true and steady
Ball marks on greens need to b enforced badly. Tremendous greens when clean of divots. Public course but starters and clubhouse need to remind amateur new golfers. Rough is tough!!
Hot Deal Weather
Play here quite a bit due to the close proximity to our home. The greens are poa annua and flower up in the evenings so the putting can be quite the challenge. The course feels like a country course with a scenic view and pretty trees. The rough and fairways are in great shape. The course holds water really well. It’s an easy walk course so you’re better off walking as opposed to riding. The staff is kind and friendly.
I have two minor issues. In the evenings play can be slow. They accept walk ups and place them on the back side from time to time. There is nothing worse than having a wide open front nine to walk into a jammed up back nine. For me pace of play is correlated to total score.
Secondly, if one buys a ticket to this course through a hot deal. The course must be closed to get a refund. Today the rain was pouring so hard that we waited 20 minutes under cover on the 9th tee and 10 more minutes in the cart garage before running to the car. Yet the course was still open.
I wish it was privately own so that they would take care of their loyal customers but it is what it is.
Bottom line. Make sure the weather is good before using a hot deal.
Good value
Great course for the money. Other than the greens being a bit hard the course was in great shape
Big met
