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.

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.
