Crazy day at Big Rec

Not to any fault of the course , but my round was super slow due to police activity in the area that ended up effecting play. Apparently suspects had fled on to the course

Besides that the course was playing great!

LB’s Crown Jewel

As much as I love El Dorado, I have to say that Big Rec has it beat. You can feel the special authenticity that only old courses have when you step on the first tee and traverse your way all the way across the stately old school layout. It’s a busy course but we got around in just over 4 hours, which was a pleasant surprise. Course conditions were great but a little soggy from all the rain, with the greens being way faster than I was expecting (kudos to the maintenance crew and greenskeeper!). I highly recommend this beautiful, historic and very playable course to anyone

Nice

I’m from NYC so anything is better than here now. That being said, I have always liked this track. Play here.

Excellent

Condition of course is excellent,

Green is well maintained and a little bit fast.

I tee off at 12 :30 and finished 18 hole.

I'll be this course again soon.
