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.

Greens in Poor Condition

The general condition of the tee boxes, fairways, and rough was fine. The problem with the course begins with the greens. They appear to be burnt out, so much so that there is no grass on them. The Greenskeeper has done what he can to make them playable, but it's like putting on a pool table. They are lightening fast and unpredictable. Of the 18 holes played, only 2 or 3 were actually majority grass.

To be fair, the club is fully aware of the issues and are doing everything they can to address it. Give it a couple of months and thing should be back to normal.

Greens burnt to a crisp

Between my son and I, we have played Broken Arrow 20+ times and we’ve never seen the greens so trashed. They were brown and hard - little to no grass on 12 of 18 green. 6 we’re in really good shape. We got to the point where we refused to putt, gave 2 putts and moved on. Not sure if the hot stretch of weather did that, however, watering them properly would have gone a long way to make them somewhat playable. Rest of course was in good shape. For now, stay away until they address the greens.

Broken Arrow Green

Almost every green was burned out, from chemicals they say. And didn't tell us until tee time. Main clubhouse closed, not that it was much, but no bathrooms, the outdoor portables were full and dirty, and they were closing g them and apologizing.

Not worth the money at this time..........

What happened?

Broken arrow seems to be in trouble. Water pipe broke so entire pro shop, restaurant and clubhouse closed. Half of the cart storage roof missing all its shingles. Everything being done thru the ranger house which holds maybe 5 people. No rakes in any sand traps. Only one course worker seen in 18 holes.

Fairways in ok shape but several greens burned up and brown. Driveway and lot needs patching.

No indications from staff as to plans to update and repair things.

Broken Arrow

Course has gone down hill. Greens were brown in many places. Looks like someone killed grass on greens. Had to go to rangebuilding. Clubhouse closed and had no food. Had a hot dog before a year ago bread was old . Use to be nice course now a complete waste of time.

Broken Arrow was Rough

In years past Broken Arrow has been one of my go-to courses, based on a nice layout and good conditions. My latest visit was disappointing, however, as the course conditions were not what I’d experienced before. For example most of the greens were brown and slow - not sure what might be causing that. Also, due to some construction getting food and drinks was tougher. All in all not as good a value currently as some other comparably priced venues.
