Big Rock Country Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the biggest challenge at Big Rock Country Club, and how should I prepare?

I'd say the dramatic elevation changes, especially on the back nine, are what really test you here. Holes 12 through 14 play significantly uphill or downhill, so club selection is paramount - trust your caddie or rangefinder. Don't forget to factor in the wind, which can swirl unpredictably around the 'Big Rock' formations.

When is the best time of year to experience Big Rock Country Club at its prime?

We highly recommend visiting in late spring or early fall. The course conditions are typically immaculate then, with lush fairways and fast greens, and you avoid the intense summer heat that can make the uphill climbs brutal. Plus, the autumn foliage around the 'Big Rock' outcroppings is truly stunning.

Is the green fee at Big Rock Country Club worth it for a non-member?

Absolutely, if you appreciate a meticulously maintained course with a classic design and exceptional service. While it's not cheap, the experience includes top-notch practice facilities and a post-round meal at the clubhouse with incredible views of the valley. Consider it an investment in a memorable round.

What's the vibe like at Big Rock Country Club, especially after a round?

It's a classic, understated elegance - not stuffy, but definitely refined. After your round, head to the Member's Grill; even as a guest, you'll feel welcome enjoying a cold drink on the patio overlooking the 18th green. Their signature 'Rockslide Burger' is a must-try, perfectly capping off a challenging day.

Are there any particular holes at Big Rock Country Club that demand extra attention?

Keep a close eye on the par-3 7th, known as 'The Quarry.' It plays significantly downhill to a green guarded by a deep bunker on the left and a steep rock face on the right. Club down more than you think, and aim for the center of the green - a par here feels like a birdie.
