Yardages

I've played this course a few times and every time the yardages are way off from the card this time I played the whites it was 600 yards off of what the scorecard said makes it difficult to post accurately

I have the same challenge playing here. I just play where the markers should be when they are moved way up to keep posting accurate. I often end up playing a Gold/Blue combo to post an accurate Blue score.

All holes somewhat similar.

Not much variation in terrain. Enjoyed the par 3's . Water and bunkers tricky. It was hot and quite windy but overall a great day.

Not a bad place to play

Course was in much better conditions compared to what it is like in summer and early fall. Course was busy at lunch but even with a 1pm tee time there was no back up or waiting. Would not pay full price but the cheaper afternoon prices make it worth it.

Too Slow!

The course is a very good public course but they pack golfers on the course and don’t monitor pace of play. A 4:45 round is too slow!

Good bang for the buck

Big rock has a very cool atmosphere inside the proshop and bar. Kinda like a hardrock cafe. The course is in great condition and cant beat the price

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.
