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 comeback

Played after an inch of rain but course was in great shape. Greens were excellent after being lost two years ago. Traps will need some work after the down pour.

Great Course - a bit expensive for what you are getting

I have played this course many times. I previously lived on a townhouse on the course. They do a pretty decent job maintaining the course, but there has recently been a couple issues Two years ago, they accidentally over fertilized the greens which became extremely burnt and caused me to stay away from the course for the remainder of the year.

This weekend, I was disappointed to see that there still was significant standing water in the bunkers (especially the fairway bunkers) and it had not rained for 4 days. I understand it takes time to do this, but for $70 and 4 days without rain and the bunkers were like quick sand if you stepped into them, I find these green fees to be unacceptable for this condition.

Overpriced

The bunkers were full of knee deep water.I lost 6 balls in traps. For what they charge, they need to address this or cut the greens fee.

First Time Playing

So I booked a tee time for myself in 4-14-2024

For 2:20pm . I get there check in pay and head over two the north course as I pull up they had a threesome about tee again I was alone so instead of pairing me up with the threesome. Thomas the starter went under the tree and called the pro shop complaining about why they booked me alone. So he sends me to the east course and says I should be good to go that wasn't the case. Their was two foursomes just hanging out . I drove 40 minutes to this course which I live by several courses but wanted to give this course a shot.

So between the guy running the pro shop and the starter they ruined my day.

I work 6 days a week and just wanted to golf.

Maybe thomas can take another math class so he knows 3+1=4.

I don't understand why I could play with the threesome.

Good Parkland Course with moderate difficulty

The course will be much better if the divots were fixed. Water hazards are eyesores to say the least.
