Big Run Golf Club

This is one of the rare courses where you get to use your entire bag. This round I used every club in my bag at least once. The course is long (two 600 yard par 5s and 200+ yard par 3). Some tough pin positions too. The course always gives you a challenge. For how early it was in the season the course was in pretty good shape.

They maybe cut the rough (and fairway for that matter) once or twice a year.. that’s about all I have.

Big run was big fun had a great day on the course. The clubhouse was like walking into a Time Machine. You can feel the history here.

Very interesting and big course. Long and super hilly. One of its shortcomings is that there are no 150 markers or really any distance markers on the course. The paths are not well marked either so my partner and I got turned around and ended up playing 18 when we meant to play 12 (I think). Overall it was a challenging unwise with lots of elevation changes in a beautiful natural setting.

Great course - challenging, but enjoyable! They need to repave their cart paths ++ get sand traps to drain better!

I played the course last year and in the spring of this year and it was in decent shape but it doesn’t look like it has been watered. The ground was rock hard and grass was dead. Attached picture is the middle of the fairway. Sand had rocks in it too. Pace of play was pretty slow, 5.5 hour round.

If you can get a hot deal for under $40, it's fun but brutal! Long and difficult course. My gripe with the course is they have made zero improvements in over a decade. Cart paths are absolutely brutal, cracked cement, roots growing through, dilapated bridges, etc. Not an enjoyable ride. Fairways are a cross between fairways and rough, some areas are hard as rock, fairways have some weeds growing through. Greens are unpredictable. Some are lightning fast, some are slow as Molasses, some are average. Big Run, spend some money and make some improvements!

Played here years ago, I remember enjoying it.
The course is now in rough shape. Lots of trees and elevation changes are challenging. Greens are in decent shape. The fairways are indistinguishable from the rough. Rough is long. It’s difficult to find balls that should be easy to find. Your going to loose balls.
This course should be a lot of fun. Just seems neglected. $30 -$40 golf course with cart.

Cart paths bad, bridges need work, rough too long, and no carts in fairways! Had twosome jump ahead of us on back nine. No ranger and no beverage cart.

Other than that, landscape and scenery has a great potential to become Lockport's premier golf course.

High roughs make it very challenging to find your ball. The change in elevation from hole to hole makes it fun and challenging regardless!

I've played here in the past and was hoping with all the great conditions of nearby courses this course might not disappoint. However, with some very thick rough conditions it made the round much longer than it should have been. The ground fairways and rough were firm like mid June and browned in most areas.

There was no starter just the guy working the inside over the intercom calling people to the tee. There was no cart girl out on the course... on a Holiday. There was no ranger. I've heard the rumors and I think they might be true sadly. The redeeming quality the course has is its layout and undulations.
