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.

Golfer Reviews
Course Stands Up to Ownership Changes
This might be the best public course in the area - certainly better than many private ones. I always look forward to playing Elks Run (unless the tee ball gets a little errant and finds the heather!).
The ownership has changed on this course many times - too numerous to count. I'm relieved the integrity of the course as well as its beauty have been maintained throughout the regime changes.
Great course layout
The green's maintenance is lacking. A good deal of cut marks in many of the fairways where players are not repairing their damage. We had sprinklers turn on 3 feet from an occupied golf cart twice completely drenching us and our clubs and bags before the sprinkler head oscillated around allowing us to retrieve the cart. To make matters worse, the water was drawn from a creek and it went into our drinks and faces.
very good course
Great design by Greg Norman on a beautiful piece of land for a golf course. Lots of elevated tees. Course was in great shape earlier in summer but greens were infected this time. Some were so bad that they mowed them at close to teebox height to keep alive. Love this course when greens are right.
