Quality Course

Played on a hot summer day. 0830 tee time, and we were paired with a great group. Being a Saturday, course was busy, but that was to be expected. Back nine is tough, and today was no exception. Overall, a great experience.

SLOW greens

Every green has a layer of sand on them even though they were not aerated. It was difficult to judge the speed throughout the round. Other than the slow greens the course was in amazing condition.

Greens in terrible shape

The greens were like putting on the fairway. By 50% worst greens in the area. Need a mow and rolled. Cannot true putt at all in the condition they are currently.

Beautiful course but was disappointed in the condition of the greens. They were very bumpy and lots of unrepaired ballparks.

Big Blue Course

Greens - too slow and beat up especially this early in the year. Public golfers fail to fix ball marks. I fixed 4 to 5 each hole but hardly made a difference.

Faster greens that are better taken care of and this is a

5 star course.

Very important to stay in the fairways, (obviously)

the roughs were tough and thick as they should be.

Tee boxes were nice and flat, with fairways that in were in mint condition.

Go Cats!

Thick rough

The rough was higher than usual causing to loose several balls just off the fairway. Too much dead grass in both the fairway and rough from the last time the course was mowed. Several greens were in poor shape due to ball marks not being repaired

Worth the drive

The course was in great condition. Green speeds were a little inconsistent. Loved the layout except for last few holes. I will definitely return

Good course

Really like the course. However 5 plus hours to play was painful. No Marshall’s to keep track unfortunately.

Spring golf at the Blue Course U of K

For early March the course was in good condition. Had to play "Cart paths only" though most of the course was dry enough to have carts able to drive on the course (some did).

Back nine was more challenging than the front..
