Big Run Golf Club

Course was not as bad as most recent reviews. Fairways were a little dry as was the rough. Greens and areas around the greens were in good condition. Tee boxes were ok.

Wish I could have had a better experience but not on this day. The greens were super slow, fairways were burnt and hard where I was concerned I might snap off a club head, the pace of play was agonizingly slow. It was hot and no drink cart ever passed by. Would not recommend to anyone.

Big Run = Big Fun, One of the few course that really gives you a different challenge on every hole. The different elevations, bunkers, trees, and greens all designed to test your skills. The course and facility was built in the 30's so it;s a little weathered and worn but you get many majestic views of mother nature. The food from the kitchen is awesome try their breakfast sandwich, the grill master at the turn makes great to go food and the bar afterwards is a friendly place to cool off and talk about your round. The folks are super nice which makes the drive and $$ all worth it. I play this course at least twice a season and would more often if i lived closer.

The greens are very difficult given the different tiers and the fact you cannot tell what tier you are supposed to be on without any GPS.

If they were offering me $50 to play here again I wouldn't accept it. I have never played a course that was in this poor of shape. I played here years ago and it was amazing, however now the grounds are worse kept than Chernobyl.

I played the course last year and in the spring of this year and it was in decent shape but it doesn’t look like it has been watered. The ground was rock hard and grass was dead. Attached picture is the middle of the fairway. Sand had rocks in it too. Pace of play was pretty slow, 5.5 hour round.

Challenging course. Fairways are in rough shape. Needs water as it's all yellow. Greens are good shape. Teeboxes are decent. No cart person. No starter. Bare bones course at $65 price per round. I wouldn't travel far for it but its close by for me.

If you can get a hot deal for under $40, it's fun but brutal! Long and difficult course. My gripe with the course is they have made zero improvements in over a decade. Cart paths are absolutely brutal, cracked cement, roots growing through, dilapated bridges, etc. Not an enjoyable ride. Fairways are a cross between fairways and rough, some areas are hard as rock, fairways have some weeds growing through. Greens are unpredictable. Some are lightning fast, some are slow as Molasses, some are average. Big Run, spend some money and make some improvements!

Great track with very nice greens. Course is dried out, dead trees are everywhere (maybe 40 in total), no water or ranger anywhere. Played maybe 25 times total. Greens good, everything else bad. Very sad.

Played here years ago, I remember enjoying it.

The course is now in rough shape. Lots of trees and elevation changes are challenging. Greens are in decent shape. The fairways are indistinguishable from the rough. Rough is long. It’s difficult to find balls that should be easy to find. Your going to loose balls.

This course should be a lot of fun. Just seems neglected. $30 -$40 golf course with cart.

Naturally sloping and entertaining

Dry fairways made for unreliable iron play

Plenty dead trees with loss of the once mature tree presence

Greens were fine but very slow unrolled and not cut lately

Everything a bit dated on a potentially great course

Cart paths bad, bridges need work, rough too long, and no carts in fairways! Had twosome jump ahead of us on back nine. No ranger and no beverage cart.

Other than that, landscape and scenery has a great potential to become Lockport's premier golf course.

High roughs make it very challenging to find your ball. The change in elevation from hole to hole makes it fun and challenging regardless!

Big Run has the potential to be one of the best courses in the Suburbs of Chicago, but it has not been maintained in years. The rough was extremely thick, the fairways were fluffy, and the greens were slow and inconsistent. Extremely disappointing considering it has one of the most creative and scenic layouts in the area. Without a change in management the course will likely stay how it is. There was no ranger on the 1st tee to make sure people were on time and the cart paths/bridges need serious work.

I've played here in the past and was hoping with all the great conditions of nearby courses this course might not disappoint. However, with some very thick rough conditions it made the round much longer than it should have been. The ground fairways and rough were firm like mid June and browned in most areas.

There was no starter just the guy working the inside over the intercom calling people to the tee. There was no cart girl out on the course... on a Holiday. There was no ranger. I've heard the rumors and I think they might be true sadly. The redeeming quality the course has is its layout and undulations.
