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.

Course was in great shape except for the sand traps. All the traps were either packed down or flooded.

The snack shop was closed and no beverage cart was on course

Usually a fun and friendly course.

Great round

Course is in great condition. Fairways are clean, rough is in good shape, greens roll true. Only issue is the bunkers aren’t in great shape. All in all, a great day on a great course. Will definitely be back.

3 Full 9 hole coases.

If you like pure greens with multiple breaks and just enough water to keep you on your game, this is the coarse you. Multiple tee boxes which can challenge even the long hitters, but will allow everyone with a tee box to fit there game..

Broken Arrow is a good spot to play for all abilities

I played here with my 16 year old son who is a pretty good competitive golfer. He found some challenges along the way. We had an unusually hard time finding errant shots (mine) but all in all it was a good day. It was a bit wet but not crazily and I thought 90 degrees would have been good enough vs cart path only for the carts. The layout is good, with a couple quirky holes but all in all a great experience

Broken Arrow golf club

Overall the golf experience is very good! The only disappointment is the bar girl! When ordered the drinks, we thought that our drinks will be served at where we were - Patio! After waiting a while, I got I and found out that the drinks are I. The bar counter! I immediately paid the drinks, the working girl did not even offer to help get the drinks out! It took me twice to take the drinks out to the restaurant patio!

Great course myself and the guys can get out on and not worry about simple things. This course isn’t a pack and play. They do a great job or space and keeping it moving but enjoyable. Many holes are challenging and make it fun for some friendly wagers.

Windy Day

All in all Broken Arrow is in decent shape. Still opening up - range was closed but should reopen soon. See my review of 7/28/18.....conditions were about same - sand traps are hit and miss you'll never know what you'll get but they are maintained - several did not have rakes (yet). Greens still have some aeration marks but are rolling decently - a tad slow but okay. Broken Arrow is a pleasant play and with 27 holes you can make a day of it. I really like the double green North nine - it's the best designed. South nine is nice- the East nine is the most difficult of the three. 3.5 stars overall due to good pace of play this day - gave it a 3 because the fairways need to have the divots filled/tee boxes need attention/some sand traps are dirt. Recommend. A nice play in the Southwestern burbs - $30 value.
