Big Run Golf Club

Dandelions all over, rough was so high balls going lost less than 10 ft from fairways/greens. Add elevation and blind shots makes it impossible to play.

Course was in nice condition. Pace of play was great. Two of the toughest finishing holes in Chicagoland on nine and 18. All around, a fun experience, and a humbling one as well.

THIS IS A COURSE THAT WILL CHALLENGE YOUR GAME. Several of the toughest holes you will ever play are here, but it’s worth it (and the ensuing frustration) when you hit the 19th hole. Be forewarned….this is NOT a course for really high handicappers….

Fun track. Challenge from the back tees, or can be easier and more forgiving from the front tees. Lots of trees. They seem intimidating, but there’s so many you’re bound to get a good kick into the fairway!

The par 3s are the most memorable. They remind me of cog hill / Dubs par threes, but a little easier and shorter. Bunkers All around, with down hill or elevate greens.

The staff is very friendly. The only thing to really deduct on is no driving range. They do however, have 3 or 4 nets to hit into. You are allowed to chip on the practice green.

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.

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.

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

Thank god it was a very cold morning, no push due to lack of golfers. Very difficult course.

Beautiful layout.

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.
