Broken Arrow Golf Club - North/South
About
Located just 40 miles southwest of Chicago's Loop, Broken Arrow Golf Club is one of the most popular golfing facilities in the area. The club offers 27 holes of championship golf, divided into three unique nines that offer different challenges and scenery. The golf courses: East, North, and South, are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The North/South is the most scenic of the courses. The North is especially beautiful, but it also has another distinction. It is the only course in the Midwest with a dual-green concept. The design allows golfers to control the difficulty of the course by offering the option to play to either of the two flags on each hole. The club's former use as a farm is evident on the South nine where the original farmhouse and silo can be seen from the first tee box.

Golfer Reviews
Excellent Links course
Was not impressed with the club house or practice facility, but the course itself was just great. Excellent fairways, for the most part level tee boxes, huge greens that were very very nice.
Drawbacks were it was in a condo, apt, housing development and no GPS.
Played the Blue tees of South and East 6,600 yards was a lot to deal with in the wet and windy conditions.
Rating and slope don't align with the course
Everything about the round was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. The pace of play was very acceptable. We knew ahead of time that the clubhouse was closed and the amenities were slim.
My big issue is the slope and rating. This is an easy course, especially the South course. It is forgiving off of the tea, and easily avoidable trouble once you're off the tee. The rating and slope are too high and unfairly affects one's handicap index.
We played the South-East layout, and the East course was much more challenging. Still overall, easier than the rating indicates
Disappointing pace of play and pin placements
A 8:30 morning round with a cart should never take almost 5 hours to finish. I think for starters they did not space out the tee times far enough part. Then the pace of play was very slow and there were no rangers out monitoring the speed of play. On one hole the group of front of us just stopped to get drinks in the middle of the fairway holding our group and the group behind us on the tee. Also the pin placements were not ideal with just about every pin being placed at the edge the green.
Overcoming the Bad Rap
I've seen a lot of negative reviews on this course since they had a run of bad luck with weather and course management [for whatever reason] and was leery to play it...but I was pleasantly surprised. Fairways were groomed and mowed short, bunkers were soft, greens were running smooth and overall I think this course is rebounding nicely. No clubhouse? Who cares...I didn't go there to lounge around and enjoy the decor. Beverage cart saw us three times over the course of our round too. Glad we gave it a chance to earn our business again.
Great shape...
I read reviews that the course was in bad shape. When we played in early September, the course was in a GREAT shape. We got out early and there was still dew on the ground. This is a no frills course. Pro shop is a shack. No bar. The beverage service on the course has only beer and two alcohols. We teed off at 7:20am and was looking forward to some bloodies to no avail. I would come back.
