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.

Starter / ranger?

No starter or ranger which caused confusion about where to go and what do about the slow play. A little common courtesy is all that’s needed.

Poor customer service

I accidentally booked for the 1st October. Tried to cancel immediately, and went onto live chat. No one from Golf Now responded. Had to eat the reservation. Realize it was my fault, but absolutely no contact or response from Golf Now. Will not be using anymore based on principal alone

Not Good Enough To Go Back

No GPS on Golf Carts

Range Balls were in awful condition, some of them were cut by the lawn mower and still made it into a range bucket.

No starter or ranger to monitor pace of play

Saw beverage cart once on the 3rd hole, that was it.

Bunkers literally had rocks in them and you had to either pick your ball clean or just take it out of the bunker because they’re not maintained at all (rock hard)

Some of the greens were pretty beat up

Not worth $52 for 18 with cart.

Course has great views.

The only thing that I would recommend is that the golf carts should have gps.

Fun Layout So So Conditions

Really enjoyed the layout but the bunkers were unplayable on most holes and greens were a bit rough in places. Will play again as it's a good value with decent pace of play.

Nice Track, but slow and wet

Really nice track, 27 holes, well maintained and a fair price. Not sure if no ranger due to COVID, but pace of play was slow. I had to leave before we finished and the round ended up taking my buddy close to 5 hours. Also, the course was really wet and there had been no rain. Not sure why they overwatered it

Would not go back

Day did not start well when I find out that there was a $15 up charge per person on taking out separate carts in a 3 some. This is the only course that has done this all summer. So at 6 AM on a Tuesday 34 for golf - 13 for cart - 15 for an up charge to take out separate carts. Very excessive fee

The East & North course we’re in okay shape but the pins were on angles way too much. On 2 separate holes my partner had uphill putts that when they got to the hole rolled back past his feet. Really unfair for a course to have that. North course since the holes are no longer double flags - greens way too big. Makes for times that you have to chip from the green.

The course flags are still the American Flags so no way of knowing if the pins are up, middle or back. There was no starter to tell you what number the pins were on the card & the manager who checked us in was not very helpful at all.

Overall a really poor experience.
