Challenging course
This was a great test for even the most skilled golfer. There is a lot of water to deal with and shot selection holes are aplenty. They are well balanced with the grip and rip holes which keeps the amateur happy. I would highly recommend this course to anyone. The greens were a little slow but the fairways were immaculate and the bunkers were in great shape as well. NOTE: their first tee time is 7:30am, not 7:00am as golfnow has it listed. I hope golfnow changes this.
University course with a resort course feel
Nicely maintained course with a typical Arthur Hills layout in the hills of Lexington. Open fairways to bomb your drives. Greens are not overly fast or sloped. Loved the downhill "island" green on #8!
Big Blue can make you blue
I live in Louisville, this course is better than any public course here in town. In my opinion it's worth the hour drive. The first 6 holes aren't very demanding. Starting with 7 you better bring your "a" game. The course is visually intimidating but there is ample room to play. This was my first time playing Big Blue, I want to go back, I feel that subsequent rounds the golfer will know where to hit the ball and how far to hit it. My only gripe was distinguishing where the flag was on the green. Some shots you were hitting up to the green, others you couldn't tell how deep the green was.
slow starter
It was an enjoyable round on "Big Blue". The first 6 holes are ho-hum but from 7 on it turns into a good test. #8 is an island green and we played into a two club wind ( the wind never stopped the whole week we were in Kentucky).it's a course if you play it a few times you will know where to hit shots to avoid bunkers and ponds. Over all it was a good day.
