Greens and fairways in great shape. Rough was tall and brutal. Hard to hit out of and find ball. Pace of play was awful. Took 5+ hours to play the round in extreme heat

Disappointing

Starter allowed a group that was late for their tee time to go ahead of us. They were ridiculously slow. We were the last group before the hurricane tournament started. They should have had to go behind us..

why no water to drink on course? Why no beverage cart on sweltering 4th of July weekend?

I have the players club card. But I booked through golf now. Guy in pro shop refused to punch my card for that reason. This wouldn’t bother me except for the fact that the last time I booked through golf now a few weeks ago the person in the pro shop punched my card. I just want what’s fair and consistent

Beautiful Course

Big Blue is as challenging as it is beautiful. It's out in the country with no houses on the course. Greens and fairways were great. Love playing here.

Need to do better !

i have played this course a couple time last year and it was way better than it was today.

Greens were in good shape, tee boxes were beat up, the rough was BADD, drop the mower one more notch. Pace of play was Slooowwww . for the price i would expect better and we got a discount, I can't see playing the normal fees and being happy.

Great course Great price

Course was in great shape and is always challenging, sometimes a bit too much. Might be time to cut the rough because we shouldn’t be losing balls 5 yards off the fairway lol.
