Overview
Big Blue is one of two public courses at the University Club of Kentucky, about 10 miles from campus. The eighth hole is an island green reminiscent of Pete Dye’s original at TPC Sawgrass, though Big Blue’s lacks a bunker and plays to small, exposed green, making it one of the most intimidating shots on the course. Weekday rates are around $50 and weekends just $60, making the course a great option for fans in town for a Kentucky game.

Review
“Large property with rolling hills and fun holes to play. Conditioning was lacking particularly at the range. Bent grass surfaces on the fairways and tees likely contributes to the poor grass quality. The greens rolled well and were the best aspect of the course."

“The better of the two courses. It has an island green tougher than the 17th at Sawgrass and a wonderful closing stretch of holes."
