Elks Run Golf Club
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 course
I’ve now played at least 6 times and the course and staff have always been great and since my first round I always get excited when my group brings up playing at Elks Run! I live about 50 miles away in Ky. and don’t even think about the drive or the time it takes to get there I just get excited to go!!!
Thank y’all at Elks Run for always making our group feel welcomed!!!

Great Day With My Son
This course was so much fun. My son and I will be back but on a day that is not so HOT! We decided to do 18 holes with temps over 100 degrees. We still had a Great Day spending valuable time together. I had not golf this course in a couple of years but I will be back for sure. only thing I would like to have back is a drink cart or water stations. Even with Covid protocols there is a way to put out water for the golfers when it is that hot. This is a really nice course.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. Elks Run Golf Club thanks you!
