Good layout. Poor Maintenance
It's evident this course is not being maintained. Although the greens are being kept up, the fairways are in terrible shape. the bunkers have stones in them. Would not play here again.

Difficulty Extremely Challenging
Got in 9 and left. Seems like the fairways didn't have a great year and they are done right now. Lost alot of balls after trying to hit from patchy grass (in the fairway) and couldn't find them in the fluffy rough. Greens were soft and great. Decent little fun round if you can get a hot deal but don't expect much other than hitting off normal park grass untill you get to the greens.

Big run is a great layout. The condition of the course is average. Fairways were rough and the sand was really shallow. Greens were pretty good. Really tough course.

Very Poor Conditions
This course is worse than hitting out of my backyard. Very poorly maintained. Very tight fairways. The rough is terrible and the fairway is like hitting out of fresh cut grass at home; it’s not short fairway grass, it’s long, weedy, and full of dead spots. I would not play here even if it was free. For those who watch Bob Does Sports, this was like the Links of Victoria.

Disappointing for a great layout
The course just was not in good shape, considering all of weeds. A lot of the teeboxes looked like a combat battle had just finished. Several holes were rough only for carts. At issue, was tell the difference between the fairway and rough. No Marshall's monitoring and no refreshment person. Too bad, it is a great layout.
