Long course
This is one of the rare courses where you get to use your entire bag. This round I used every club in my bag at least once. The course is long (two 600 yard par 5s and 200+ yard par 3). Some tough pin positions too. The course always gives you a challenge. For how early it was in the season the course was in pretty good shape.
1st Round Here
Beautiful track- and TOUGH!! I'd play again 100%. Greens are some of the most difficult I've ever played. Uphill a club+ on most holes. I was highly impressed- and the VIEWS! Enjoy
Big Run gives a golfer a chance to hit every club in your bag.
Risk Reward shots get better results in Nov with no leaves but in July when I’ve played it you will rethink that approach..
surprisgly the fairways & greens where in good condition for Nov.
Staff sucks
The staff at this place is the rudest people I’ve come across the first time I played they were very rude to me and my group we decide maybe they were just having a bad day so we tried it again and yet again they were very rude again from the front desk to the bar tender it felt like we were bothering them with us being there if I’m paying 7 dollars for a hotdog a little better attitude would be appreciated also being told to hurry up on the course to keep pace when we never even seen the next group behind us just over all rude people
Long course
Thank god it was a very cold morning, no push due to lack of golfers. Very difficult course.
Beautiful layout.
Great Course
Big Run is my favorite course in the Chicago area with the hills, oak trees and tricky greens. The weather was perfect and the course was in the best shape in quite awhile. The only downside of the round was there was a 6-some that slowed everyone down (2:15hr front...good, 2:40hr back side- terrible) with 2 holes open ahead of them.
Must be new management
I play this course 4-5 times each summer...and I can honestly say this was the best condition I have seen this course in....Greens were fast but in great shape, fairways and rough were properly maintained. Great job to maintenance staff at this course. Kudos on job well done.
Will play again.
This course was challenging but managed to finish with a 92.
The course layout was great but it wasn't maintained as expected, This course CAN be top 10 in the Chicagoland area if the owner can maintain the course.
Will play again.
The course layout was great and hope to play again in near future. The staff at the counter was not friendly at all.
The prince were paid with a cart included but he said, it was a seat of cart not a whole cart and must share with other player. (He did let me take a cart but he will charge me a fee next time.
