Bigwood Golf Course

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time of year to play Bigwood Golf Course?

We've found late spring through early fall offers the most enjoyable conditions at Bigwood. You'll avoid the early season chill, and the course will be in peak lushness, with the fairways perfectly manicured and the greens running true. Just be aware that summer afternoons can get warm, so an early tee time is often your best bet for comfort.

How challenging is Bigwood Golf Course for an average golfer?

Bigwood presents a fair challenge without being overly punishing, which we truly appreciate. The course design rewards thoughtful shot placement, especially on its tree-lined doglegs, but it's still very walkable and enjoyable for mid-handicappers. Don't let the 'Bigwood' name intimidate you - while trees are a factor, it's not an impenetrable forest.

What's the standout feature or a signature hole we shouldn't miss at Bigwood?

You absolutely have to experience the par-3 14th hole; it's a beauty. It plays over a natural ravine to a subtly sloped green, demanding precision and a bit of nerve, especially if the wind picks up. We think it perfectly encapsulates Bigwood's blend of natural beauty and strategic design.

Is Bigwood Golf Course a good value compared to other courses in the region?

We consistently rate Bigwood as excellent value for the quality of golf you get. While green fees are competitive, you're paying for a well-maintained course with a thoughtful layout and a friendly atmosphere, not just a name. You'll walk off feeling like you got more than your money's worth, which isn't always the case elsewhere.

How busy does Bigwood typically get, and can I expect a decent pace of play?

Bigwood can certainly draw a crowd, especially on weekend mornings, but we've generally found the pace of play to be quite reasonable. The course marshals do a good job of keeping things moving, and the layout itself helps prevent major bottlenecks. If you're looking for a quicker round, aim for a weekday afternoon tee time.
