Type Public
Par 72
Length 6945 yards
Slope 137
Rating 74.5

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.

Value for money for dure

Staff were great. The course was wet from a ton of rain the night before. Bunkers didn’t drain. But, for the amount of rain that fell over Thames past few days it’s not surprising. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were absolutely amazing for the recent weather. Still rolling about 12 without being able to be cut or rolled for the past few days I’m sure. I’mmd definitely come back again.

Quick Round

Played on a day when weather was threatening and as a result not many golfers were on the course. Played in 2.5 hrs (just a twosome) and course was in great shape. Will definitely be back.

This course is back

This course is back from having its greens ruined by a groundskeeping mistake. A little long for the older guys in the group. They would benefit from a "senior" tee box.

Good round

Course was in very good condition with the exception of he bunkers. Most were completely unplayable. Other than that course was in good shape and what little staff there was friendly and helpful. Carts were ok, no GPS and showing their age, but serviceable. No bar open during the week but cart girl was attentive. Lots of water but if you can hit it straight not a problem.

Great layout and in great shape

Pace of play needs to be managed better. A lot of groups of 2 that should have been paired to make foursomes. Played 5 holes at normal pace… then there was 2-3 groups on a hole at a time. Would tee off and then sit in the fairway or rough for 5-10 minutes waiting to hit your next shot. On a weekend I could understand being backed up but not on a Thursday especially on a course that has 3 nines. Spread the tee times out better pair groups up and have a Marshall monitor pace or play
