        General Info
        Big Bend is a championship, 18 hole, par 71 golf course of 6,237 yards. Opened in 1965, the course was designed by Claude Evans to be easy enough for beginners and yet challenging for the pro. Trees line the fairways and water is in play on three holes. Larger greens are sloped enough to test putting skill. Big Bend is nestled within its namesake Big Bend of Coal River, which flows around the course and compliments its scenic beauty. Features include a pro shop and a snack bar that serves hot sandwiches and beverages. Big Bend is operated by the Kanawha County Parks and Recreation Commission.Big Bend is a championship, 18 hole, par 71 golf course of 6,237 yards.

        Overall

        It had been many years since I'd played this course, so I decided to drive out with a friend. What a mistake! I've seen news stories in the paper about the parks and recreation commission being broke, but the reality of the situation struck us firsthand upon arrival. Big Bend was once a nice course, but it's deteriorated badly in recent years. I'd been told this by others, but I didn't believe it until I saw it. I knew the parks director had launched a formal investigation of the employees for their bad treatment of golfers, too, and witnessed this firsthand as well. My friend and I didn't even want to play the course after finding such deplorable conditions, so we just left. I expect that the next thing I read about Big Bend is that the county has finally closed it. That would be in the best interests of everyone, especially taxpayers. Don't waste your time or gas money to drive out to Big Bend. You'll just leave as disappointed as we did. What a terrible shame.
