GO BIG BLUE

I have played at the University Club a number of times over the years. It has never looked better than it does now. Despite the weather, the staff has done a great job in keeping the greens, tee boxes, and fairways in excellent shape!

Price and staff

With a more reasonable price and a semi friendly staff it would be an easy 4/5

Awesome

The course was in great shape, even though a college tournament played right before us… The staff was friendly! My son is a freshman and you can’t. We will definitely be back.

The UK Course

Big Bkue has great rolling features and some challenging elevation changes along with a few shots that need to clear water.

Scott has to go

Scott an employee at this course is insanely rude and needs to learn how to talk to people. In my opinion he should be fired. 1/10 do not recommend this course.

Private conditions for a great value

Everything about this course was absolutely fantastic and if this was located in my home state, NJ, this would easily be private or semi-private with a $150+ green fee. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Clean and free of garbage. Extra soft and spongy grass. Immaculate greens. Tip-Top shape all around. Excellent conditions

Awesome for beginners! Love the Electronic map and scorecard and how the 9 holes get progressively more challenging.

Stay thirsty

Ample water for your balls to drown in but not a single drinking water station on the entire course. In Kentucky in June??? No warnings and could lead to many dehydrated golfers. BRING YOUR OWN DRINKING WATER.

Otherwise nice layout in good condition. Greens a tad pockmarked.

Great course. The only issue was the traps were packed down from rain, but it hadn’t rained in several days.
