Rating 74.8

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.

BRING A BUG NET!!

THE BUGS WERE OUTRAGEOUS! Paid for 18, only ended up playing 9 because of the bugs. And when I went to get my money back for only playing 9 the staff member Ryan rolled his eyes and said, “Well there’s nothing we can do about the bugs.” Ummm you can fumigate the course to help keep them down! The course was in good shape, but the experience with the bugs and staff made it very unpleasant and I will not be returning. He tried to offer me a rain check before he refunded me for the back 9 and I told him I don’t even want to come back. ALL THE GROUNDSKEEPERS HAD ON BUG NETS ON THEIR HEADS WHILE CUTTING THE GRASS. If you play here. Bring a gallon of bug spray and a bug net to wear!

Course layout is open with water on play almost every hole. Pin placement was very tough. When wind is blowing makes it very tough to get close. People need to fix divots on the green.

Broken Arrow

Traps are in terrible shape...no sand, almost all mud, North Course was extremely wet and it has huge greens that your GPS will misread. Get rid of the big greens and if you can’t afford the sand, turn the traps into bunkers

Course good, golf now lied about cart

The course was in pretty decent shape considering the rain we got. My issue is that Golf Now has it booked as a “cart included” but that’s only if you have a disability. Need to update their listings and give the difference back of walking rate

Pretty open layout

Played on a windy day it’s a pretty open layout so had to keep the ball flight low. I liked the course but I wish the fairways were a little less crowned. It seems like everything rolled off the fairway. Will try it again hopefully in a little less breeze.

AVOID

Course was poorly maintained. Sand traps were water traps, cart path only, fairways had cut grass all over. Greens were good. To be fair, we have had a good amount of rain lately. Staff treated me like it was an inconvenience to check in. No marshalls anywhere to be found. I won't go back

Round at Broken Arrow

Course was in very good shape. Had a lot of water from a downpour early in the morning. Driving areas were fair and holes challenging for the average golfer. Course was fair and not tricked up. Overall a good value for the money.

Course was in great shape except for the sand traps. All the traps were either packed down or flooded.

The snack shop was closed and no beverage cart was on course

Usually a fun and friendly course.
