DIFFICULT FOR HIGH HANDICAPPERS
Big Run is an old classic course with some very long holes. Lots of trees and trouble await all but the very good players. After the winter the fairways and greens are in need of a lot of work and all bunkers need new sand.

I Recommend This Course
Big run, big score
I have played this course twice now and each time it throws something different at me. The ninth hole is a 600+ yard par five and it plays like the daunting distance it is. If you like a lot of hills in your golf courses you will love big run. Also it isn't very busy so it's kind of like a hidden gem.
