Type Public
Par 72
Length 7027 yards
Slope 134
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.

Great day of Golf...... But ?

The courses were in good condition. We played North & South. Heavy grass clippings on some of the fairways cost us a few balls which could have been avoided by cutting the grass a little more frequently. Overall the courses were in good condition. The only drawback was the ground superintendent had the fairways being watered during play which we had to call to have shut off so we could play and we had a very slow foursome in front of us which we had to call the proshop 2X to get a ranger out to move the play along. We were 4 deep when the ranger finally came and the play never eased up. They should have made the group move ahead a hole to resume normal play. The rangers need some work to keep it flowing or people will go elsewhere. There is no reason walkers should catch up. Over 5 hours for 18 is to long.

Best hidden gem in Chicagoland

I found this golf course 3 summers ago. 3 nines and each a little different. It's always been in great shape. It's challenging - check out the rating and slope - but fair. The greens fees are among the fairest in the whole Chicagoland area!

Double pins…why???

We played the North and the East courses. A very strange feature of this course is the double pins on each green. This made gps ineffective, not to mention a nuisance to figure yardages. The design was enjoyable. Conditions were satisfactory. The pace of play was slow. Course workers wielding weed-eaters were an annoyance. They seemed to be oblivious that we were playing thru the distraction. As much as I enjoyed the East course, I didn't enjoy the North.

A nice layout with good design.

A nice design. Moderately difficult. The rough was brutal, very lush, hard to advance the ball from some lies. The greens were a little slow but consistent. I enjoyed the East course.

Tall roughs!!

Keep on the fairways boys & girls! The greens r good, fairways r nice, but our biggest complaint was the roughs!!! The grounds keerpers need to lower there blades , & pick up the grass clippings! If you hit just off the fairway left or right chances are you might loose your ball!!! I'm a pretty good golfer & I lost 4 balls in 10 holes!!! And all 4 of those balls were totally findable , now I know the rough is called rough for a reason , but every time you hit just off the fairway, &. Spend way too much time looking for your ball that's totally ridiculous !!! It wasn't only me that had this problem, it was all people in front of us too!!! And because everybody was looking for their ball it totally killed the pace of play!!! It took my wife & I 4 plus hours to do 10 holes, & after 10 we bailed out packed up our clubs and went home!! So if go there defently go thru golf now or make sure u get a cheep rate, cause is not worth $60!!!!! Just sayin

Tight fairways

Overall not a bad course. Friendly staff.

Pros: reasonably priced. Conveniently located off 355. Grounds were in good condition. Good rolling/hilly course. Back 9 (east) was a fast pace.

Cons: tight fairways. Front 9 (south) from holes 3-9 were extremely slow. Many 4-somes ahead of us. Impossible to play through them all. No beverage cart in operation.

Not very friendly and SLOW!

Played here yesterday and found pro shop staff to be very rude. When my cart broke down on 2nd hole I called pro shop. Jared couldn't seem more annoyed. Not once did he apologize for the inconvenience. I walked remainder of hole 2, all of 3, and most of 4. Took over 30 mins to get a new cart and the person who brought the cart out never apologized either. When I returned my cart key for $1 deposit I was never asked about my round, thanked for choosing Broken Arrow, or invited back.

Staff could use some basic customer service training.

One of my regulars

I've been playing Broken Arrow for years. The difficulty is moderate to difficult based on where you play from. Not a lot of trees, but water comes into play often.

It is a good course for serious golfers and once-a-year hackers as well.

Personally I don't think the experience warrants the full price rates, but discounts are readily available. I jump on the opportunity to play if I can get a solid deal.

This is not a 1 star course nor a goat patch, be serious. This course is normally in very good condition and is a very good value play. I play golf twice a week and will have no problem going to Broken Arrow. I think you are forgetting about the constant torrential rain the Chicago suburbs received the entire month of June and into July. Pretty much every course I have played this summer had difficult rough depending on timing. They just couldn't get out and cut.

Have to be able to control your ball flight to succeed here. But hey when youre down wind and can let it rip, its SO FUN

I mean theres nothing better than taking on a 560 yard par 5 and hitting driver-5 iron to get on in two

Defintely will be back here to play

Should be $28 or less

Its super narrow and residential buildings were surrounding the whole course. About 5 homes were getting repaired from paint to the roof (noticed visually and bit noisy). If it was under $28 its good to go. Personally I wont go back unless I have to.

Upset with the staff

The course is in great shape and I'm still not sure about the 2 different pins/greens on the north course but it is a nice course.

The Staff was the worst. They were fertilizing the greens while we were playing and the guy doing it was basically following us around the east course and waiting by the green while we hit then fertilizing after us. It was very annoying. They were mowing the whole time we were out there as well and they did not stop mowing while you were swinging. Not on the tee box, not in the fairway, not by the green. Also quite annoying. When I complained afterwords (I didn't ask for anything just recommended they don't continue the practice) I was shrugged off. I may be back but only if the price is right.
