Great course, poor course condition
This course would be an excellent course if it was not so dry and hard; despite the extra length off the tee box (unneeded due to course length), the fairways were difficult to play normally (many dry spots); additionally, the greens were very hard and were unreceptive; I hit an excellent 8-iron onto a green, but my ball that hit about the white pin position bounced high and off the back of the green into a pond; the layout was excellent and fun to strategically play; I would love to play this course again if the conditions were normal; I believe the course condition was due to a drought.
Good time had by all.
Played Big Oak with my father-in-law and brother-in-law, both not great golfers. The course was good for them and interesting enough for me (2.4 index). Greens were a tad slow for me but smooth, some with a good amount of undulations. Fairways on the front were a little baked, but the back was much greener. Pace of play was fine, played in about 3 1/2 hours with them in a cart and me walking. Never felt hurried or held up. My only complaints would be there aren’t a lot of yardage markers so a rangefinder or GPS is a must to keep things moving, and from the back tees there are a few tee shots where some trees need trimmed. Having a tee shot that is one to two yards off your start line will get knocked out of the air. All in all a fun time and would definitely go back again.
Small Big Oak
Course was nice. As a first timer, took a couple holes to realize the shortness of the course and adjust the clubs accordingly. Any average to above average plus male can take two irons on almost all of the par 4s and get there in 2. I am a fan of the feel of the course. This is much more of an accuracy course than power and distance. Would recommend and plan to return.
Enjoy the nature on this course
Great time golfing at Big Oak. People are especially friendly!
This course provides a good variety of holes.
We enjoy playing Big Oak. The staff is just beginning to fix the cart paths which previously made for a difficult ride between holes. The weather in our area has been very rainy so it has also been a challenge to keep the fairways and rough mowed to perfection, but they try their best. The staff is friendly and the food that is offered is very good.
Finger Lakes Golf
Friendly course. Front nine is older has mature pine trees and short par 4s. Easier for everyone. Back nine is newer and more challenging Lots of water, mature trees and tougher layout than front. All and all a fun layout. Fastest between 10 am and 3 pm. Enjoy! Nice family run business.
ehhhh
Without golf now I wouldnt play Big Oak.....it's in desperate need of a grounds crew. Some of the greens look like they have leprosy , not to mention the jungles throughout......mow for gods sake
Great course
Just all around nice course. The layout is perfect, challenging but very playable. I like that it's not easy but set up so anyone can be successful.
nice course.
Nice course and friendly staff. Considering all the rain the course was in great shape.
Unfriendly and impatient staff, flat and straight holes
I went to Big Oak on Sunday to play the back 9 with a couple friends. We were novice, intermediate, and beginner level golfers. Not much to say about the course in general, some nice water traps, interesting topography, etc. the real reason I'm writing this review is because of the crotchety mean old man on staff that day. We teed off around noon with no one else on the course, and in about an hour and a half we had made it to the green on hole 15. I'd say that's pretty darn good for golfers of our class, especially when one of us had never golfed before. So here we are, chipping up to the green, when the old man rolls up on a cart and asks us what the heck is taking us so long. Apparently this guy expected us to be done in an hour. He told us we needed to finish up the hole and leave, because he wanted to go home. He didn't even give us a good reason. Just that he was sick of waiting and wanted to leave. We called the course a couple days later and they told us all they would do was let us come play at 3:30 but we'd have to be done by 5. We declined because we didn't want to play rushed at all. They flat out refused to refund us whatsoever. 1/10 would not reccomend unless you're into speed golf, if that's even a thing.
Front nine not playable
When we arrived the staff did not inform us that several holes on the front nine were being worked on. We had to try to jump around and play a few holes from the front - the back was playable. The pace of play was excellent because the course was virtually empty. Apparently members were aware the course was closed. It would have been considerate if the staff had informed us and suggested we play the back 9 with a raincheck for the front 9.
