About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 7034 yards
Slope 132
Rating 74.9

There are 27 holes of golf available at Broken Arrow Golf Club, which are broken down into the East, North, and South nines. They are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The East/North Course begins with the most challenging nine of the three. Sloped fairways, hidden water, and strategically placed bunkers make good course management essential. The back nine is considered the most scenic but it boasts another distinction. It is the only course with a dual-green concept in the Midwest, meaning that golfers have the choice of playing to either of the two flags on each hole. It was designed to give players control over the difficulty of the golf course. There are also 30 bunkers and mature trees that come into play on the back nine.

Broken Arrow…a hidden gem

Course is well kept with a variety of joke layout. It provides a very appealing rate for both seniors and non-seniors. This course does not appear to get the amount of golfers that it should. As such, the pace of play was very good. It seems early afternoon the course seems wide open.

Nice course

Course was in decent shape - sand traps were bad, probably due to recent heavy rains.

Getting better, still a long way from its previous reputation

Course was in pretty decent shape with the exception of a couple greens. Smoke from the Canada wildfires made it a little less appealing but obviously they have no control over that. Hopefully their construction ends soon and we can see the finished product. It seems like it’s taking an unnecessary amount of time to complete.

Never once saw a beverage cart or a ranger which is concerning but that may have been due to the wildlife smoke. Only mention that because the twosome in front of us (3) had a severe absence of course etiquette and time awareness. Would have been nice to see someone stop by to get them moving a little faster. We did see the beverage cart pulled out in front of the clubhouse but never saw it on the course. Unfortunate. It would have been a nice afternoon to enjoy a couple wobbly pops.

Really Nice, a couple things needed

Beautiful day for golf, wish I stayed out of the sand more, but a great time. Assigned to the North and South courses. A couple of issues:

1) All 3 courses need to build a set of true “senior tees” that play 2700-2800 yds. Red tees too short and whites too long for the average senior golfer.

2) North course greens are extraordinarily huge (Originally designed to contain two pins to create an 18-hole facsimile course out of a 9-hole layout). The green layouts are distracting and also difficult to get a valid GPS distance reading. Quite honestly, these greens need to be downsized and repurposed as 1-pin greens. (The original wacky intent was abandoned shortly after the course opened.)

Otherwise the course is in great shape. Sand traps a bit “crusty” in spots. Greens recovered beautifully from last year’s fertilizer burnout incident. Nice overall course layout. Clubhouse/ pro shop rehab complete and now open. Recommended.

Much better condition than last year

Course in nice shape, greens rolled nicely. Bunkers could still use some work but greatly improved from last year when they lost several greens.
