Big Run Golf Club

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.

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.

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!

Great course layout. Greens were in great shape. Fairways and rough were rough. Shame because this could be a fantastic course if $$$ was put into course maintenance.

Greens were slow but understandable with heat. Rough a little high .

VERY confusing getting to clubhouse. Needs more direction signage from the street. Also, course needs more directing signs between holes. We got lost at least twice going to the next hole.

Came here for the first time feeling excited after looking at the course. Man is this course difficult, I sit around an 8 handicap and today I shot 16 over thru 18. The terrain makes it nearly impossible to hit off of an even lie- and the pin placement made some putts feel impossible. Be ready for a challenging today & maybe I suggest moving up to the closer tees. Some fairways were dried up & the rough made it hard to find your ball. One thing I’d compliment is the greens, they were in great shape. Pace of play was solid as well.

Not the greatest shape but always challenging. Price is ok too

Horrible. They didn’t cut rough grass for many days. Tall weeds in the fairway? Just bad, almost like they gave up trying. Years ago this course used to be good too.

The conditions here are terrible. The only saving grace is the layout. With two 600yard holes it can be very treacherous. I have been coming here for 20 years. Rumors of the course selling for the last 5-10

years have been unfounded. Whatever the issues are the fairways are burned out, No difference between fairway and rough in many areas. This course in it's well manicured state was right up there with Dubsdread. Greenskeeper turnover and lack of capital have left it as an also ran course. I would gladly pay $50-75 for this course if it was maintained properly.
