First Time Playing

Beautiful and Well Maintained

Challenging course that has a little bit of everything. Very well maintained fairways and greens. Pace of play a bit slow but would definitely recommend a visit.

Hot Deal Weather

Play here quite a bit due to the close proximity to our home. The greens are poa annua and flower up in the evenings so the putting can be quite the challenge. The course feels like a country course with a scenic view and pretty trees. The rough and fairways are in great shape. The course holds water really well. It’s an easy walk course so you’re better off walking as opposed to riding. The staff is kind and friendly.

I have two minor issues. In the evenings play can be slow. They accept walk ups and place them on the back side from time to time. There is nothing worse than having a wide open front nine to walk into a jammed up back nine. For me pace of play is correlated to total score.

Secondly, if one buys a ticket to this course through a hot deal. The course must be closed to get a refund. Today the rain was pouring so hard that we waited 20 minutes under cover on the 9th tee and 10 more minutes in the cart garage before running to the car. Yet the course was still open.

I wish it was privately own so that they would take care of their loyal customers but it is what it is.

Bottom line. Make sure the weather is good before using a hot deal.

Greens need work

Pros: Love the course layout for Big Met, mostly a straightforward with only a few holes requiring you to work the ball. Not a long course from the tips.
Cons: PACE OF PLAY IS HORRENDOUS, they have no one on the course keeping people going. Also, not a single green on the whole course runs the same speed; this was the most frustrating part of the round.
Hoping the course gets better as we get into summer so I’ll wait a few weeks and try again.

Slow play

Another slow round at big met. There was a time when rangers would drive around keeping pace of play this doesn’t happen any more. Staff was very friendly but I’ve never had a round here that didn’t take close to 5 hours or longer

To slow of play

Play was to slow, only saw the ranger when we first stated to play, course had big wet areas throughout the course. Either someone left the water system on to long or the course needs to make drainage better overall. There was also a group playing with five in it with no regard to others on the course. I don't think the course is worth the weekend price that everyone was paying when it should be put back into the course for upkeep. Once you pay your money I guess that's it, they got you.

Ignore the staff

Good value and nice courses. The staff for unclear reasons were less the helpful and seemed confused doing basic things like checking in our foursome.... it did not need to be that hard... that said Big Met is a a good value and challenging courses. Will definitely play again..

Big Met

My only complaint was the greens were recently punched so putting was a challenge but I did know this when I booked my tee time.
