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.

Numerous issues with course.

I have played there many times over the years, but unfortunately I will not play it again this year. They have three nine hole course where I played the East and North courses. The East course had 3 holes where the greens were destroyed due to the weather - literally no grass on it and the North had two holes that way. They had a water main issue so no drinking water available - only bottled and port a potties.

The other issue for some golfers is the available tee lengths - the longer boxes Gold Blue and White do not have a great difference in lengths roughly 6900, 6600 and 6300 for 18. The next level down - Red is only 5200 yards. So if you want to play something closer to 6000 yards, you're out of luck and will probably not have a good time.

Greens are a real problem

Played East/North and 5 greens were unplayable. Rest of course was find. Clubhouse closed and couldn't get any water anywhere on or off the course. Very disappointing. Should have known about the condition before and would not have gone.

7 playable greens

The course messed up their greens with the wrong dilution of chemicals. Burned up all the grass so they were essentially unplayable. This was the case for 11 of the 18 greens on south/east. The GM said we received a ten dollar discount for the “5-6 really bad greens”. . . We did not receive a ten dollar discount. I know how much I paid John. And 5-6? I mean. . . It’s either 5 or 6 not both, and it was actually 11 of them. Not customer service skills when contacted about the laughable conditions. Will not return even with the greens are back in shape.

A very experience. Please return my money

I truly want my money back. The course greens are in worst condition. The green had some chemical issues which killed the grass. It was a waste of timE, driving and expenses.

Greens are DEAD

Played July 4th. The overwhelming majority of the greens on the South & East 9's are DEAD. We were told AT THE TURN, NOT BEFORE. Would have been nice to know BEFOREHAND. The clubhouse is being renovated, so no 19th hole to speak of. Only candy, chips and Gatorade at the turn. The course, with the exception of the greens are actually in decent shape. Bunkers we're hit & miss, some good, others were typical Illinois bunkers with dirt/sand mix. I've always enjoyed Broken Arrow, a little less so this time.

Needs Improvement

A number of the greens have no layer of grass. As if the grass had disease. You’re basically hitting onto/putting on a layer of dirt/mud. Additionally, the restroom facilities were exceptionally dirty in every way. Too expensive of a green fee for the condition of the course.

Greens were horrible

Greens were in horrible condition. Big mistake not warning the golfers of this condition and charging them full price. I’ll definitely warn my buddies to avoid this course.
