Slow Play
Have been playing Big Run since the eighties. Big difference between then and now. Several of the tee boxes are in need of extensive repair; as are some of the fairways, and greens. Numerous pot holes pockmark the cart path. There are no sand containers to fill in divots on the carts. Pace of play was extremely show at 5 1/2 hours.
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any negative experience you had while playing at Big Run. We are aware of the issues with the tee boxes, fairways, greens, cart paths, and pace of play and are working to address these concerns. Thank you for bringing them to our attention.

Big Run Review
Staff was friendly.
No driving range but has a few nets to hit into.
The putting green was a good representation of what you found on the course.
The course was very hilly. Greens were a little slower than what I am used to but was probably good with all the undulation on the them. Pretty challenging course overall. I would play it again
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that you found our staff friendly and enjoyed the challenging nature of our course. We apologize if the greens were slower than what you are used to, but we hope to see you again soon.
Pace of play
The course is beautiful and it’s the third time I’ve played it. Unfortunately, it’s the third time it took over six hours to play a round of golf. I don’t agree with the way they stack the tee times so close together. I get it that you’re trying to make money but for $75, you shouldn’t be waiting 20 minutes in between every shot.
Thank you for your review and for your continued support of our course. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the pace of play and the close stacking of tee times. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve our service in the future.
Should be sold for real estate
Pace of play was horrendous. 5 hour round and there wasn’t a single ranger out there to check on things. Pins were in shockingly stupid locations. Sand traps were bare. Fairways were in horrible shape and were long enough to be the rough. Accessibility was absent. “Carts in rough only” made zero sense when the fairways were practically the rough. And some holes had string to prevent carts from accessing the other side. What stupid idea was that? Sell this course.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the pace of play, condition of the course, and accessibility issues. We apologize for any frustration caused and thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention.

So unique!
Big Run is a pleasure to play and is one of the most unique courses in Chicagoland. There are meaningful elevation changes on 9 of the 18 holes that make you really think about your shots. There are a number of "you don't see holes like this anymore" moments and it makes for a memorable round. Conditioning could be better but it is not problematic.

A very good layout being persecuted by the Management
Great layout... Used to be a course one would love to play. Except for the greens, this course has not been maintained at all. The cart paths where they appear, are in shambles. The poorly maintained rough is safer than the cart paths. The signs say drive carts on the rough! A few bridges on a creek that runs across the course look very unsafe. This course if not repaired should be shut down!
We appreciate your feedback on the course layout and apologize for any negative experiences you had due to the lack of maintenance. We will address these issues promptly to provide a better experience in the future. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Poor service & conditions
Service was rude from the get-go. Waited for pro shop guy to check me in while he was taking a smoke break and then told us to tee-off when we were fully aware of our tee time (course was empty)...all the while my partner was waiting to purchase drinks from "carry-out" and no one assisted after ringing the bell for several minutes so he eventually left. The condition of the course indicates that ley have let it deteriorate. Fairways were beat up and it doesn't look like they spray for weeds anywhere. My partner stepped in a 2 foot crater hole just off the 12th green and sprained his ankle. For the price, course and service should be much better.
We apologize for the rude service you experienced at our pro shop and for the lack of assistance at the carry-out. We take your feedback seriously and will address these issues with our staff. Thank you for bringing the condition of the course to our attention, we will work on improving it. Thank you for leaving a review.
Hello. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time! Thanks for playing Big Run Golf Club.
Rude
Got out Saturday at 6:30 am. Groups ahead of us got out early. On the 4th hole ranger told us to pick up the pace , that we weren’t on the group that started a half hour earlier. 4some behind us was a hole and a half behind us. Looked at the time and we were on pause for a 4 hour round. Apparently that wasn’t good enough . Very rude and ignorant staff . Play there every year for my birthday golf round. Doubt I’ll ever go back !!!
