Nice course but not the Big Blue

The course conditions were very good overall. The sand traps were questionable. There were some sand traps that were there one my previous round that were now grass and patchy. The worst was it was 95 degrees with a heat index was off the chart and I didn't see but 1 water station. All in all it was a great day and the course was in good shape. I would play it again.

Over booked.

It seems like every time I play here it has been over booked. Wether it’s big blue or wildcat. You can’t find any rhythm because all you do is stand around. It’s a shame because it’s a nice course but very poorly managed. I won’t ever book here again. So frustrated. We couldn’t even finish 9 under 4 hours.

Tough rough

A lot of rain recently so the greens were very slow, the fairways were ok, some bare spots and the rough was very penal. As the home of UK golf I expected a better maintained course. But again maybe that was due to the weather.
Would like to play the other 18 next time.

SHAGGY GREENS...

We as in my playing group Hated the slowness of the greens. They were bumpy, shaggy and slow. Very hard to make putts. Other than that it was a fun day!!!

Great course for any level.

Really enjoyed playing the Wildcat course for the 1st time. Very accessible and forgiving for any level. Only drawback was the sprinklers were on for the first few holes. Made for some fun dodging.

Do over

Very pleased with course conditions and staff. Challenging, but fair. Our only issue was with our GPS units. We would be on a hole but GPS would show that it was a different number. Just a little confusing. I guess the hole designations have changed st some point. Definitely will play again.

Over 5 hours

First off the course was in fantastic shape and the staff was great. I have no complaints about the course layout or anything of that nature. The pace of play was terrible, I kept hoping someone would come out and say something but maybe it was just bad luck.

Wildcat

This course used to be really nice but over the last few years they’ve let it go. The fairways are now tufts of grass with dirt in between. It’s still not a bad lil course but needs the fairways and greens overhauled now that it’s been let go so badly.
