Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Big Walnut Golf Course?

We highly recommend visiting Big Walnut in the late spring or early fall. You'll find the course in pristine condition, the mature walnut trees are stunning, and the cooler temperatures make for a much more enjoyable walk than the humid summer months. Weekday mornings are your best bet for a relaxed pace.

How challenging is Big Walnut, and what's its signature hole?

Big Walnut offers a fair challenge, especially if you're not precise off the tee - those namesake walnut trees really come into play on several holes. The par-4 14th is definitely the signature; it's a dogleg left around a massive, ancient walnut tree that demands a strategic approach shot over a small creek to a well-guarded green.

What should I expect to pay for a round at Big Walnut, and do I need to book far in advance?

Big Walnut is one of those fantastic mid-range courses, offering great value for the experience; expect green fees to be in the $50-$70 range with a cart. While it's not impossible to walk on, we strongly advise booking at least a week out for weekend tee times, especially during peak season, as it's a local favorite.

What makes Big Walnut Golf Course truly unique compared to other courses in the region?

Beyond the impressive, towering walnut trees that frame many fairways, Big Walnut truly stands out for its laid-back, community feel. It's not pretentious, just pure, honest golf with a friendly staff who genuinely want you to have a good time. You'll feel like a regular even on your first visit.

Are there good practice facilities or a nice spot for a post-round drink at Big Walnut?

Absolutely, Big Walnut has a solid driving range and a decent putting green to get you warmed up. After your round, head to the clubhouse grill; it's nothing fancy, but the patio offers a great view of the 18th green and it's the perfect spot to grab a cold drink and recount your best shots.
