Big Run Golf Club

For the amount of money this course costs it’s not worth it. The carts are about 100 years old and bounce all over the course. Keep all items in ur bag cuz they will fall out even in the cart. Fairways are in terrible shape with patches of dead grass and dirt all over with the occasional foot long grass in the middle of the fairway. I really don’t understand how a maintenance guy can go out there and think this is sufficient and I’m doing a great job, cuz ur not. Don’t get me going on the rough side. Too many trees block the rough it just creates dead spots under all trees and areas. Whoever the guy that checks you in is, is not a happy camper. They announce tee times over a microphone which can be heard from California. Just hire a starter….the bathrooms and amenities are disgusting with a 70 year old clubhouse with not much to choose from. the food is pre made grossness which they just toss on the grill. There is no ranger on the course to help move the tee times along so plan on a 6 hour round. Also a hitting bay with nets is in awful condition. Save ur money and go down the road to COG or Ruffled.

Was 1st one out so pace was ultra quick

Fairways were in rough shape in places

Greens for most part were in good shape

They were watering during play tee boxes which made a few very wet and traction wasnt great

The course is in far better shape than in years past. The rough is finally being maintained, so you’re not losing a ball anytime you hit into it. The fairways were in pretty bad shape, lots of missing grass and craters where fairway used to be. Some of the bunkers need work, some are being redone and others they finally turned into grass. Tee boxes were in pretty rough shape, along with the cart paths. The greens were in good shape, they were running pretty quick even after some morning rain. The staff were fine. The amenities aren’t great, no range other than some nets with mats and a small practice area. The bar and club house are very outdated, but clean. The place still has a ways to go to return to any former glory.

Some of the toughest greens I’ve played. With Sunday pin placements, made some greens borderline ridiculous. I like tough greens but on 18 the placement was in a place where if you were putting even a couple feet above the hole and missed, the ball rolled 25+ feet off the green. Nobody behind us, we tried for 20 minutes.

That being said, I love this course.

Big Fun. Challenging and mostly fair (some tough greens and pin placements), great layout, and great staff. Conditions have improved tremendously this year, I’m sure next year will be even better. Only gripe is the road being so close to holes 6 and 7, have been honked at during my backswing multiple times 🤧

Greens very nice, fairways terrible mix of dirt and grass, layout very nice. Pace of play little slow. Not worth $70.
