Good for the money

BigBlue is in much better shape than Wildcat, but that’s not saying much. They don’t mow the greens nearly as often as they should, they were a little shaggy and slow, bunkers haven’t been raked in months. Several years ago it was one of the best places to play around, it’s cheaper and way nicer layout than all the city courses tho.

Easy on the greens

Big Blue is a nice course. Challenging but. It stupid. Tees and greens were a little tore up. This isn’t the course’s fault. People seem to be getting lazier all the time. Fix your ball marks and pick up your dang feet! Super slow play this day. That is likely due to folks playing behind the tees of their skill level.

GolfNow and UCKY double charged me

The app charged me for the golf when I checked in and the gentlemen behind the counter refused to accept it and charged me a second time. Paid double for the round in the end as the charges both cleared in my credit card.
