Broken Arrow Golf Club - South/East
About
Broken Arrow Golf Club, located just southwest of Chicago's Loop, offers 27 holes of championship golf. There are three nines: East, North, and South that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The South/East Course begins with a links-style nine. The front of the course is accented by the landmarks of its former use as a farm. The original farmhouse and silo can be seen from the first teebox. Throughout the front nine, golfers will be faced with 22 bunkers, seven ponds, and multi-tiered greens. The golf course doesn't get any easier on East nine, which is arguably the most difficult of the three. The back nine features a slew of sloped fairways, hidden water hazards, and strategically placed bunkers. Course management is essential throughout the entire golf course.

Numerous issues with course.
I have played there many times over the years, but unfortunately I will not play it again this year. They have three nine hole course where I played the East and North courses. The East course had 3 holes where the greens were destroyed due to the weather - literally no grass on it and the North had two holes that way. They had a water main issue so no drinking water available - only bottled and port a potties.
The other issue for some golfers is the available tee lengths - the longer boxes Gold Blue and White do not have a great difference in lengths roughly 6900, 6600 and 6300 for 18. The next level down - Red is only 5200 yards. So if you want to play something closer to 6000 yards, you're out of luck and will probably not have a good time.
Greens are a real problem
Played East/North and 5 greens were unplayable. Rest of course was find. Clubhouse closed and couldn't get any water anywhere on or off the course. Very disappointing. Should have known about the condition before and would not have gone.
greens are dead
half of the greens had no are practically no grass. Apparently they had a mishap with the chemicals they used. I don't remember a warning on the Tee Off site warning of the conditions. Long Drive, frustrating conditiions and no warning!
The putting green is bad
Played here last year,Too bad almost all putting Green is dry n dead I not play this course until that fix n maintained this putting green.
7 playable greens
The course messed up their greens with the wrong dilution of chemicals. Burned up all the grass so they were essentially unplayable. This was the case for 11 of the 18 greens on south/east. The GM said we received a ten dollar discount for the “5-6 really bad greens”. . . We did not receive a ten dollar discount. I know how much I paid John. And 5-6? I mean. . . It’s either 5 or 6 not both, and it was actually 11 of them. Not customer service skills when contacted about the laughable conditions. Will not return even with the greens are back in shape.
A very experience. Please return my money
I truly want my money back. The course greens are in worst condition. The green had some chemical issues which killed the grass. It was a waste of timE, driving and expenses.
Greens are DEAD
Played July 4th. The overwhelming majority of the greens on the South & East 9's are DEAD. We were told AT THE TURN, NOT BEFORE. Would have been nice to know BEFOREHAND. The clubhouse is being renovated, so no 19th hole to speak of. Only candy, chips and Gatorade at the turn. The course, with the exception of the greens are actually in decent shape. Bunkers we're hit & miss, some good, others were typical Illinois bunkers with dirt/sand mix. I've always enjoyed Broken Arrow, a little less so this time.
Don’t charge me full price with greens that were absolutely destroyed. At least warn me the greens were destroyed before I play.
Greens are in horrible confitiom
14 out 18 greens were burn out ( brown). No one did a word whoever reserve the tee time nor st check in.
The clubhouse was closed, not indoor restrooms available, only portapoties.
No place to grab a sandwich!
Not a good experience!
Terrible Condition
The Clubhouse and Washroors were not Open.
Looks like they may have been remodeling, but noone was there , and the doors had "STOP WORK ORDERS POSTED."
.No explanation at the temporary pro shop.
Half of the Greens were unplayable . Some Disease I assume. . I had played there at least oncce a year for the last 20 years, I have never seen anything like this befire.
... Do Not waste yoyr money there. !!!!!!!
Greens
The greens on multiple holes where very bad , don’t know if it was due to lack of rain or some kind of bug issues. Was there a month ago and it was much better don’t know what happened over the last month
Needs Improvement
A number of the greens have no layer of grass. As if the grass had disease. You’re basically hitting onto/putting on a layer of dirt/mud. Additionally, the restroom facilities were exceptionally dirty in every way. Too expensive of a green fee for the condition of the course.
Greens were horrible
Greens were in horrible condition. Big mistake not warning the golfers of this condition and charging them full price. I’ll definitely warn my buddies to avoid this course.
Destroyed/Unplayable Greens
Most greens are destroyed due to what appears to be chemical burns.
