Broken Arrow Golf Club - West Short Link

Course was in great shape even after all the rain we have been having. The staff was very courteous. Nice track, challenging.

Course was in great shape considering all the recent rain we've had. The rough was just that... very rough to get out of. I'm sure that will be cut down a bit as summer goes along but greens and fairways were in great shape. For the price we paid on golf now I would play this everyday!

Broken Arrow gives you all the game you could want. Great driving holes, plenty of water and bunkers and challenging greens. After several days of heavy rain the rough could give US Open courses a run for the money, but it was a great place to play. For the GolfNow rates you will not find a better value in Illinois.

Staff friendly ,challenging course, layout of course is unique. Food at turn ok. Never saw beer girl on back nine.

Love the course but as a group of four was rushed by the starter with two twosome following us. As we started the back 9 we were told to speed it up. We're very conscientious about play hold up but come on guys you should have combined the two twosomes together.

Course was in need of attention. Narrow fairways, and on South course, 2 flags per green.

Not bad to play for fun or practice, but could use some sprucing up.

I am attaching an email I sent to the General Manager, the Director of Golf, and the course Superintendent after a recent round at Broken Arrow as my review. I delayed posting this because I wanted to give them time to respond but not one of the above contacted me.

I am writing this to let you know what our experience was like at Broken Arrow yesterday.

Earlier this week I called and arranged a tee time for Wednesday, May 1st, at 11:24. When we checked in at about 11:10 we were told that our reservation was for 7:00am and we were shown as "no shows" on the sheet but they could "squeeze us in".
We were directed to the East course where there were already three foursomes on the first tee and there was a lot of confusion as to who would play where and when. The starter then directed us to the North course and told us we would play North to East.

The condition of the course, especially the North, was the worse I have seen in several years of playing there. The tees were overgrown with weeds and the traps were in horrible shape, basically unraked craters. To make matters worse, play was agonizingly slow. After the third hole, we had to wait on just about every shot. I called the clubhouse and was told that a ranger would be right out, but I later learned that there were no rangers but for the starter. We completed our round in just under five hours.

After we finished, I asked the starter what the problem was and he said, "we had a group of 30 show up that we thought were coming tomorrow and they all play five hour rounds."

The weather was beautiful but the terrible course conditions and the unbelievably slow pace of play made for a frustrating and aggravating experience. I don't think we'll be back for awhile.

Overall a nice experience. Had avoided Broken Arrow for a few years. Greens were very good with fair speed, fairways and tees in decent shape as well. Rough was very long due to the recent rains. Grass driving range was closed (off mats only). Great value for the $$ if you get a GolfNow deal. West Par 3 short course is closed (has been for 2 years). Later this summer suspect the greens will be rock hard and too fast for less skilled players. Played an additonal 9 holes after the 18 booked and caution - late afternoon pace of play was extremely slow due to leagues, etc.

Cart path only.... But could have been 90* easy... Sand traps....don't even try to fix them...... Golfers do not come 1st at broken arrow!

This course has 2 holes on the north course, it's cool you can go for blue or red, each plays different. There are hidden traps behind hills on south course. Two holes have teired greens that is a challenge, 1 par 3 had a big drop. We play here when we score a great deal from Golf Now.

Enjoyed the course very much. Can be challenging from the tips. Overall a good value. Good service at the counter. The ranger was very nice considering how busy it was. Would recommend this course.

I caught this special at Brolen Arrow, Lockport, IL on GolfNow.com for $36 including cart. The course was in great shape and the rating from the Blue tees is a tough 133. The pace of play for us as a 2-some on a Sunday mid-morning was an astounding 3 hours.

Great golf course good location and specially have more choice to play with 3 courses...

Went out on a foggy morning and played the South/North courses. After trying to wait out the fog, we decided to give it a go. Played first 5 holes in clearing fog but since the holes were not too long, we were able to track our balls. Once clear, we were able to play a nice course with a lot of character. First time playing the course and really enjoyed it.

A fairly wide open couse, young trees, north course is my favorite

Broken Arrow is a pretty nice course, but beware of GolfNow reservations. They do not honor the courses booked on GolfNow. I booked the East/South combo and was told we were playing the East/North combo. A bit frustrating in my opinion but we ended shooting all three haha. North course has double greens which at first is a good idea but it becomes tiresome as you play.

Very slow afternoon round - 1 foursome ahead of us with 4 open holes ahead of them by the time we reached 12.

Complained at the turn to a dismissive staff. No rangers were present the entire day.

The whole course was backed up behind the group ahead of us.

Fairways were in bad shape. Patchy and rock hard. Rough was the complete opposite.
