Big Run Golf Club

I love the layout of this course, especially the up and down contour of the holes. The greens are in good condition. Thank you! However, the cart paths are extremely rough and in very poor condition..... despite they run only shot lengths near tee boxes and greens, The ride from 12 green to 13 tees is just plain awful. However, the cart path near 10th tee has been improved! Thank you. But I still won't use that segment. I recommend this course with a cart path WARNING!

good hilly track. needs some sprucing up here and there but a lot of fun to play. the par 3 on the back 9 is one the best in the area.

Did not feel like I was still in Illinois. Course was beautiful, but not overly tricky with all sorts of water traps. It was still a challenging course with the hills.

Big Run is in great shape and getting better. I always see workers and especially reworking and fixing traps.

Big Fan of Big Run.

This is such a fun course. So challenging. I got chewed up and spit back out by it but would love to play it again.

Pace of play wasn’t great though, especially considering there only 3-somes ahead of us…it was still over 4 1/2 hours.

I do wish the course was in better shape though. Fairways were incredibly hard. Lots of bunkers under repair which is a good sign, glad they’re being redone.

Lots of sparse areas that had as much mud as grass.

Given the difficulty of the course, I wish there was a good warmup area or at least a simulator to get your swing going.

A improvements and this course could be a gem.

I golf every Sunday for the past year and I’ve never Experienced such alienation. I get I “look young” and black. But there’s no reason to change how you treat me compared to all other players that arrive. I waited until line and watched how everyone was handled and my experience was terrible. To top it off, my wife walking the course with me was called a “liability”… also something I’ve never heard. This place staff wise was a joke to say the least. But the course itself not to shabby. I liked the overall feel on the greens.

Enjoyed the course and conditions were overall very good. I was very disappointed that there were multiple groups of 5 allowed on a Sunday morning which caused our round to exceed 5 hours.

Hadn't played this course in many years. The fairways are lined by large trees on a lot of holes giving it a Michigan feel. All of the flags were red so there is no way to tell where the flag is on the green. The greens had been aerated relatively recently but that did not affect the putts too much. Overall, the greens and fairways were in good shape. The clubhouse is run down and the carts too. No GPS. The par 5 9th and 18th are just so long. Tough finishing holes for each 9. Course was in better shape than I expected.

This course is a nice test! Lots of terrain change which is unusual in the Chicago area. The greens were a little furry and are generally soft and slow. Run an 8 on a stimp meter.

Played 20 years back, best value course in south burbs. Stopped playing - heard it went into disrepair and became a dog track. A few years back started playing but reviews were not great. This year decided to give a try as I heard it was on the upswing. While the cart paths have a little to be desired, the fairways, roughs and greens were all in good shape. The layout, up and downs make it a real challenge and fun to play. Still needs some work but definitely worth a play or two….
