About

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.

There was a fivesome in front of us so we had a substantial wait on just about every shot.

4-5 of the greens didn't even really have grass/were mostly just mud. Rest of the course was actually in pretty decent shape and they do have a grass range with a dozen or so stations.

Terrible Condition

Most of the greens were burnt out and mud (it rained the previous day) because of a fertilization issue. Some were barely playable, but some like the par 3 third on the East course was nothing but mud, with tire tracks and deep gorges throughout, making it totally unplayable. We were not warned about the course condition at the time of making the reservation, which was made by phone. Also, the price did not reflect the condition of the course, as we paid $50 to walk (full price). To make things worse, the bunkers were not pumped out, and most had several inches of water in them, making them unplayable. In addition, apparently, they had a water line break and flood in the club house, which was not usable and closed. GolfVisions, the course management company should be embarrassed for taking golfer’s money and permitting play on this course, if you can call it that. It needs to be shut down, and play should not resume until the greens (or in this case “muds”) are reseeded and in proper condition.

Burnt Greens

And I’m not talking about food. The greens were cut so low that it not only made them Uber fast but on most holes it appeared as if they were burnt. Bumps, brown and black in some areas, it was not a 3 put green for most.

Stay away from these Greens

The greens on the course have a major problem this year. They were mostly compacted dirt. I do not know what the problem is but they have never been this bad. The course layout is a good challenge. The club house was closed they are doing major remodeling, so bring your own beverage.

Average in Parts, great in others!

We played the North 9 and South 9 and the North 9 was considerably better. I’d say 6/9 greens were in fantastic condition whereas the South 9, the greens were really bad. Black in many areas and were very burnt. The rest of the course was nice minus the greens, fairways and tee boxes were nice. Probably will play somewhere else which has a course in better condition.

I can't recommend based on current conditions of the greens and inaccessible clubhouse.

Greens are in horrible shspe!

24 out 28 greens were in poor shape , they looked either burnt out or damaged by over fertilization. Couldn’t access clubhouse because of water damage.

Neither problem was communicated at the time of making reservation, nor at check in.

Greens are a mess!

14 out of 18 greens were severely damaged by either disease or over fertilization because they were brown with parts of the greens had some grass on them.

There was no notification ahead of time, nor at check in.

We won’t be back this season!!!

Disappointed

Of the 18 played maybe had 3-4 well taken care of greens. Driving range closed. Clubhouse closed. Overpriced given the cons.

Greens were brown

Was an extremely hot day, driving range and halfway house were both closed. Arrived an hour early to practice and couldn’t. Wasn’t any food besides a snickers and bag of chips the entire 18. Didn’t see the cart lady on the back 9 so couldn’t even eat a second snickers. Was starving by then end of the round. The greens were brown and as slick as glass. I won’t be going back anytime soon unfortunately.

Dead greens

8 or 9 of the greens were a dark brown completely. We waiting about 10 minutes to tee off on every hole and when we're were finishing on 18 there were 4 foursomes waiting to tee off on the south course. Really disappointed in this course for the money I paid. I won't be back any time soon.
