Good layout but need better maintenance
Car path and rough coniditions must be maintained much better.
Ok Course - Too Far from Chicago
This course was recommended to me by a friend, but I do not think I will be returning. The course just overall felt "weathered" and outdated. I was told by someone on the course it's been up for sale a few times. The course is in decent shape and has a lot of challenging holes with water and trees. The "hot deal" rate was very nice and if you live near the course worth it, but I think it's not coming from Chicago.
Course is hard fair ways need attention
Fair ways need attention rough grass is high hard to find Balls n hole pin placement is tough.
Course in bad condition
I used to love this course but the fairways were more like roughs. Weeds were growing on the fairway on one of the nicest weekends like it hasn’t been cared to for weeks.
Overall fun but the course conditions were extremely poor for the price
Big Fun
This course is long, challenging, and in pretty good shape. A lot of other courses you can get to par 5s in two shots but with 600 yarders here you need to play more strategic. I also like that they have a 200 yard par 3. They space tee times out enough where we never really had a long wait until we got to 14 because one slower group caused a bit of a log jam. I plan to add this to my consistent rotation of courses.
Lost balls....
I don't know what kind of grass is on this course (bentgrass?) in the rough....but wow.... I lost about 4 balls in the rough just because the grass was soo long and thin bladed... There was times where I was standing right next to my ball and took 2 minutes to find it because of how long and dense the rough was.... Also it was impossible to hit out of unless I used a wedge.
Had a 7:50 am tee time and it took us five hours to play due to very slow pace of play. There were no course rangers to help with pace of play.
The greens are also very slow.
Won’t be in a hurry to return.
Old course
It's been years since I played this course, and it was a good outing. The greens were a little slow, and very undulating. Made putting a challenge. Staff was friendly. I'm playing there again next week.
Big fun at Big Run
The best overall golf experience in Chicago land! The course has some of the best views and challenges for any golfers skill level. Very well taken care of, nice staff. Good food and a great bar to relax in when your done. Big Run is our favorite and we play it at least 3 times a season!
