About

Elks Run Golf Club in Batavia was designed by Greg Norman. It sprawls across 163 lush and secluded acres where golfers will be hard-pressed to find a home anywhere close to the course. Norman carefully utilized the natural terrain, incorporating the meandering creek on several holes and also adding a few holes that venture up the side of a hill. Thanks to the dramatic elevation changes, there are some tees where your ball seems to stay in the air forever. The first nine is more open with a traditional links-style layout that then leads to the more densely wooded back nine. In addition to the trees and other natural hazards, there is also an unusually thick first cut of rough as well as tall stands of native grasses.

Great Day on the Course

I played with my son, and we had a great day. We played from the blue tees which helped the course to be more challenging. Traps and streams come into play. It also makes a few short par 3's play more difficult. Really enjoyed our day. Course is in great shape and the green were the best we played on this year.

Not a $71 course at this time of year

I like the course and have played it many times before. However, not a $71 course at this point in the season. Most bunkers do not have sand and there are multiple tee boxes with no grass. Greens were quick and in good shape. For the money, better courses around. Give it some time, and may be worth the price.

Biggest pet peeve is any course offering any tee time without disclosing a cart path only day.

As always, a fun and challenging course. I was very impressed with the conditions. Snow was on the ground for the previous week and the day before I played, it finally melted. The course was great considering the previous elements. I would definitely recommend this course, even during the winter.
