SO Slow

We played on a beautiful Saturday afternoon but right from the start, the pace was terrible. We had to wait on every single hole and there was no marshal to help things move along. The tee times were also 7 minutes apart which is probably why things got so backed up. We ended up leaving after 12 holes because when we got to the 13th hole, there was a group on the green, one in the fairway and 2 groups waiting to tee off at the tee.... unacceptable! I booked this course because it got good reviews but I realize now that the reviews of the Pub are included so not really accurate

Two courses

Teed off on 10. 11, 12 must have been part of original course. Course and surrounding pretty shabby.
Course cut up by busy roadways. Washroom facilities not great.
Restaurant closed to public at end of game.

BIG ROCK GOLF AT INDIAN SPRINGS

I have played this course numerous times and have enjoyed every round played. The course was in very good condition from tee to green. The greens were in nice condition and rolled true. Overall, it was a nice day, but somewhat windy. We did wait on a few holes, but managed to play in about 4 1/4 hours. I would recommend this course to anyone. Afterwards, the 19th hole is a fantastic restaurant/bar.

Rock

3rd time playing this track in the last month. Fairways are wide open and nice. Smooth with no bare spots. Ground is hard. Greens are running around 11. Bunkers could use more sand. Fun course.

First Time Playing

Had a great time at this first time course. Not sure if I would pay $130 plus but we got for $97 so ok. Greens were great and par 3’s are pretty good. Want to go back and play again. FT

Big Rock Rocks for $80

Caught an 11:52 tee time for $80 on teeoff.com. Course was in good condition and played in 4 hours and 15 minutes. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Weather was perfect and playing partners from Minnesota were fun to play with. I played blue tees which were about right for a 67 year old 4 handicapper. Range wasn't open due to wash outs in the canal where it is located so got off to slow start, but came home in 37. The pub at Big Rock has good food and great views overlooking the golf course. All around enjoyable day.
