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.

Fantastic Fall Conditions!
Elks Runs is in spectacular shape! Greens were in the best shape they have been all year long. While chilly (in the 40's all day long,-and mostly cloudy), but the course played great. Kudos to the greens keeper's and GM for great course management.

Worth the visit
I played Elks Run twice in 2020 and will definitely be back in the future. The course layout is definitely from a ‘professional’ viewpoint, yet is resilient and open enough for amateur play, without being daunting.
Things I did not like: Distance to get your cart from the parking lot is long and not clear as to the process and still not sure if there is a place to drop clubs off. Couple of the opening holes on the back nine are poorly laid out and not sure where to send shots even if you have played here before. And lastly, I had an ‘ace’ on #8 and was surprised that the course does not acknowledge ‘holes in one’, in any way. Have played at a lot of courses that at least post your name on the wall for a while and this club does nothing. The counter guy did not even offer “congratulations” when I mentioned it, after my round. In fact, he was extremely cool and classless every time I dealt with him.
But overall, I would play here again.

Elks Run
Course was in good shape. Pace of play was unbearable. Ranger on course said he could not understand why slow play. Well, clue #1 would be when you book tee times 9 minutes apart. 5hrs and 40 minutes for 18 holes on a weekday is inexcusable. More than a few people got frustrated and left after nine holes. Good course , but won't be back soon.
Hello, Tom. Thank you for reviewing the course. We would like to apologize for the delay of play during your round. Please know that this is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing Elks Run Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.

Course was very playable and in great shape. Loved the fast greens. Guy at counter was very courteous and service at bar was fantastic.
