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.

27 holes with Willow Trees that mark hidden water hazards.

The course was in good shape and the ground crew was great about stopping their work for golfers to play through. The pro shop staff, the starter, the rangers, the cart girl, and the bartenders were all friendly and accomodating. This was my first trip to Broken Arrow but it certainly won't be may last. They have a reasonably priced annual package that I'm giving strong consideration to. If it was 20 minutes closer to my home the check would already be in the mail.

27 holes - Hidden Gem in the Chicago area - Great Value

I admit I am kind of a golf course snob. I really enjoy pristine conditions and will gladly pay for it.

Anyway, a friend of mine needed a last minute foursome and with a cost of $55 with cart on a Sunday I automatically assumed the course would be in bad shape.

I was pleasantly surprised! Challenging yet fair design with well maintained fairways and quick greens which I like. I played the North/East side and then ended up playing again in the afternoon South/North and they got us out with no problem.

Having 27 holes mixes things up and throw in multiple flag locations and it's one of a kind in the Chicago area.

Had a burger which was very good but thought the onion rings were outstanding! This course is really a hidden gem for the $$

Broken Arrow in 3 hrs

Monday afternoon at 1:30 and were finished in 3 hrs! greens are very difficult with lots of undulation and thick rough just off the putting surface. conditions overall were very good and well worth the $40 golfnow rate.

Good experience

Well designed course in good condition. Especially like the dual flag options on the North nine. If I had the time, would have replayed that nine on the different flagsticks.

Very challenging par 5's on North and South courses.

Played on Sunday, July 7th in under 4 hours. Course was full, but pace of play was outstanding. Great work by the rangers. Conditions were better than average..very nice greens. Price on GolfNow saved the foursome money, and we were able to find a course on a Sunday that wasn't loaded with permanent tee times.

Broken Arrow is in no way broken, this arrow flys high in my book.

Golf course was in great shape and had an awesome round and replay. Bar staff and manager were friendly and wings and pizza bread hit the spot afterward. Could have been a bit faster play but i think its expected on a holiday weekend.

Nice mid-range course

This course is actually made up of 3 9-hole courses so with the combinations it is a little different every time. Course is solidly maintained with good sized fairways and not a lot of hazards. Pace of play was 4.5 hours on Father's Day, which is pretty reasonable. Carts have GPS, but on the whole, club doesn't have a whole lot of amenities. Nice price for the course and not difficult to get a tee time.

Great value for the money - 3 different course combinations with 27 holes

More challenging that the rating dictates in my opinion. Nice conditions and freindly/helpful staff. GM Michael Chen was a pleasure to deal with and got us some great rates for a company outing.
