Length 6945 yards

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.

In the name of covid

Not thrilled with the fact that there was no water on the course, no cart with drinks, and low selection at the turn. When asked why? Covid precautions....okay I suppose that’s fine, then how about a little discount, no none of that. Cant be too safe....sure, is it not safe to keep up with the grounds, greens as well. Golf right now is a bit like the Cubs in the 80’s and 90’s. Selling out, so no need to do a good job, all good....Whatever, it’s fine, first time last time.

Very Good Track, fairly maintained, staff a bit aloof

I played the south -to-East. For all the moisture we had lately, this course is in great shape. Because of the weather greens are a bit sift and not too many people are fixing ball marks. Management should see that these ball marks are promptly fixed, otherwise the greens could be severely damaged.

Decent course

Greens and tee boxes were in rough shape. The guy checking us in was a bit rude. Would not allow us to rent a 2nd cart.

Good Times

I enjoyed the day at Broken Arrow, weather was great, pace was good for the most part course was in good shape. The north course was closed but I enjoyed playing the other two nines. Thanks for an enjoyable day in November to play which was fabulous.

Fun Course

Golf Course was fun to play and challenging. Course was in very good shape except for bunkers which could use a little work (this time of year they get a pass)_.

Always a great day at Broken Arrow

Had a one hour frost delay - would have been nice to send an email when you make a reservation. However we got out and course was in great shape. A hair overpriced but most courses are in 2020 with the demand but challenging and fun course. Love the layout. Fairways were in great shape. Greens were perfect. Tee boxes a bit muddy from recent aeration but hands down one of my favorite courses to play in chicago south suburbs!

Lockport’s Hidden Golf Gem

I originally booked this course because of time and price. After playing 18, immediately played the next nine holes as well. This is arguably one of the best 27-hole course with many challenges but a very fair course.
