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.

Conditions Good Considering

Played 2 days after course received 4+ inches of rain, cart paths only needless to say. There was water in most of the bunkers and some wet spots on the course, but for the most part the course handled the rain well. Greens were in very good shape, except the countless ball marks that other golfers seem unable to repair. I golfed shortly after the completion of an outing, so pace of play was excellent, would also explain alot of the ball marks on the greens. The rough was incredibly thick because of all the rain, thankfully i hit the ball fairly straight this day.

Tough little track

I have been playing this course for years and it still provides me with a challenge.

Despite a deluge of rain, course was in good shape. The greens are in terrific condition. Traps were a little water logged, but that was a result of a 1/2” of rain the night before.

The driving range was water logged so we had to hit of of mats. The mats are in pretty bad shape and could be replaced.

The course sports 3 regulation 9 hole courses, North, East, and South. Sadly the East and South are only playing for 18 holes. I miss the opportunity to mix up the three. Wish they would bring this back.

Great day

Had a great time with some old friends at Broken Arrow on Monday. Never once waited to hit a shot and as a foursome we let a single and a twosome play thru during our round. Finished in 4:15 minutes which was GREAT! Kudos to DAVE in the pro shop for setting up our 4th player with a great deal to match the one we had on Golf Now. We will all be back in coming months. Keep up the great work on the course. You have a hidden gem here at a fair price!

Great day..I got hole- in-one. East 5th hole 190yd.

This is my first hole-in-house one of my life. It's amazing!!!

I hit a ball to right on the red flag,

Because wind is browned right to left. The ball( titleist nxt) is fried more high to flag. So I thought it's free good going.

I did!!! Hole-in- one

Good Value Good Condition

Played a 730 tee time. We started about 5-10 minutes late, but the pace of play was good as our foursome had 3 somes in front of us. Rich at the first tee was great. Conditions of the course were very good for this late in the year and for not having rain in the last few weeks.

I would play again.
