The transformation of The Bigwood Golf course is absolutely spectacular. Nothing short of absolutely AMAZING, I love playing there. Birdies food shack has spectacular food, burger dog is delicious, shakes, ALL the food rocks! The restaurant Timbers has quickly become our towns go to spot, food drinks are out of this world. Our town is so SUPER grateful for the new owners. Owners have taken an ALL IN, hands ON attitude and completely transformed the entire place. T-boxes/greens/fairways/sand-traps ALL redone, redesigned and has become the gem of our town! A huge thanks to C and L, still in sh…

Big Wood is the red headed step child of Sun Valley golf. It’s beat up, has some scars and the greens suck. That being said - golfers/staff here are non pretentious and welcoming. The course is overpriced no doubt but it’s challenging and has character. The cart guy “Carl” is fantastic and really made our day.

Excellent sandwiches and breakfast burritos, beautiful wide open and blue and white skies! Beautiful expanses of fresh green! I grandfather-in my appreciation to this course. I must thank my coach and friend Blake (seen here), for helping me go: from a complete novice... (Someone who thought occulus practice could somehow translate to the green! He teases me all the time deservedly so.) ...to: after only 5 games, being able to complete a round close to par. Bigwood Golf Club has my heart and fondness for life.

Bigwood Golf Course in Ketchum, Idaho, is a beautifully maintained 9-hole course that shines with its scenic charm. The greens are smooth and consistent, fairways are lush, and bunkers are well-kept with quality sand. The renovated driving range and picturesque putting green add to the appeal. While a 2022 review mentioned minor issues like dead spots on greens and overly long rough, it’s not the case anymore. Would recommend anyone to give this course a round

Course was fun. Other reviews are correct that it’s over priced and some areas of the course were not in good condition. But fun play good scenery. More of a recreational golf course

Having frequented these greens for years, we are absolutely delighted by the remarkable transformations underway! It's evident that the new ownership possesses a genuine dedication to Bigwood, as reflected in the exquisite condition of the greens, the meticulously maintained tee boxes, and the truly picturesque fairways.

Special place just below Zenergy, outside dining, amazing views. Creative good food.. We prefer lunch (walk, ride your bike or step off the bus, parking can be limited during the day). They do have blankets & heaters when the sun goes down. Wonderful for cocktail hour & early dinner.

Really beautiful setting and the staff is very down to earth. The food is EXCELLENT. I feel like with the demand in town for dining out, these people keep their cool, treat customers well and deserve kudos.

Pretty decent golf course. The only reason for the 2 stars was because of the person who was working front counter where you pay. Dude was a flat out jerk, terrible customer service. Waited over 15 minutes while he was on the phone. Came in and flat out screamed at the construction workers to shut up. Was rude to us and the people next to us who reported the same experiences once we were on our golf carts. Totally unnecessary and enough for me to type a review, and I don’t type reviews. Date and time it took place. September 2nd, 2022 at around 3:30pm.

Stopped on my way home from camp to see if I could play. Gentleman at the desk was very nice and slipped me in between other players. Greens could use some care and score card with map showing water, traps, etc. would be helpful.
