What the Putt!!
Just when you feel great about getting to the green in one or real close, wait until you chip on or putt the green! The sort fairway is made up with the lay of the greens!! I would like to play it again using better approach shots.
Huge Divots
Beautiful course, but unfortunately someone left HUGE unrepaired divots in every fairway. Staff needs to monitor players and remove them if they are not complying with common decency. If I could add pics, I would. They were creators!
The bar also needs two people working at all times. Very slow in there.
Greens in Horrific Shape
This is a great golf course but for $65 the greens are abysmal. High traffic with very little pin movement. Some were completely browned out. And with the new twilight rates it’s only going to get worse.
The same it alway is.
Love the course, both of them. HATE that they “the powers that be” schedule tee time every 5 mins. I completely understand the business mindset, but there have been times that I have played and looked back. There are a group teeing off, group in the fairway and a group on the green. It’s like an assembly line. That’s my rant. The courses condition for as wet is it been are good.
Great Course, Terrible Greens
Big Blue is supposed to be one of those "premiere" public courses in the Lexington Area and honest it just wasn't.
The layout is good. It is tough but if you are executing the shots you can have a lot of fun.
However, the greens were some of the worst greens I've played in Lexington. Every green was completely ruined by pitch marks, spike marks, bare spots. They will need to do some serious maintenance to the greens if they are going to keep hosting tournaments.
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.
Great layout
We were traveling through from Georgia to Illinois. We stopped in Kentucky to play golf & we were very pleased with our choice of your beautiful course! Keep up the good work.
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.
Greens Not Mowed
The greens being extremely slow kinda ruined our day.
Greens not great on day of play
Greens were not great on day of play. Exceedingly slow. and bumpy. Fairways and rough were fine.
