Big Run Golf Club

This is not your typical golf course, you have tremendous elevations up-and-down, tricky green that slope in every direction . you have some shots that are way down below you, some shots that are way above, you. I believe this is the most challenging golf course around here. Also it's very pretty, and peaceful . If you can score good on this golf course you have an all-around game. I love playing this place

Took 5 and half hours for 18 holes, no rangers, fairways in terrible shape. Bad spots all over, bunkers were either little sand of mud. Never going back again.

I couldn't imagine walking this course. Elevation changes are constant. A lot of elevated Tee's to valleys to elevated greens. Multiple 500+ yard holes. Course was in great shape. Pace of play was very good. $40 for a Saturday afternoon isn't too bad for a nice course. Guy we got paired with only paid $14 on a last minute golfnow hot deal which is a steal. Would definitely play again.

Great challenging course! Very hard to find a level stance on this course with lots of slope. A rangefinder, gps, or scope a must when you come here. There are very few legible yardage markers on the course. The carts have a scope attached that is outdated and did not work for most of the round. Bring extra balls, and hit them straight or suffer the consequences of a forests supply of of very mature trees. Great staff and a nice bar. We will be back.

There are some very long holes, but the front tees are up far enough to give me (female) a fair advantage. Holes are spread out far enough you never feel cramped. Took about 5 hours to play 18 but that is a very decent pace considering the length of holes, and we were really never waiting behind anyone, nor did we have anyone creeping up behind us. Staff is friendly. Quick refreshment window at the turn.

I have played Big Run before and it never lets you down A great mix of holes very interesting due the the change in elevation on the course most tee shots down hill but course is long almost 6700 yards from the White tees Greens are true and fast you will be challenged And like this course

Course was in great shape despite the relative lack of rain lately. Host staff are always friendly and they do a great job of getting people off at the right time. As a twosome we were behind a group of 4 and a threesome was behind us. The pace of play was excellent. I like that they didn't force another twosome with us as it was a daddy/daughter teaching day. At the turn, we grabbed their hotdog, chip and beverage special and the service was super-fast allowing everyone to continue play without a backlog. The course is super challenging in its length, with the 9th hole playing over 605 yards. It is a monster. The Par 3s in the front are short, while the back Par3s are quite a bit longer. They are beautiful AND tough.

This course was first opened in 1930. It has a beautiful layout that includes some of the toughest and longest par 5s in the area. Almost all the tees and many of the greens are elevated. It is in better shape this year than it has been for many past years. Just a really unique course that you should play. The only downside is that it is always a slow round. We teed off at 7:30 on a Friday and it was still 4.5 hours. The staff is not the friendliest but is just typical old school "south side " attitude. Put it on your list.

Big Run is an old school tree lined course that will challenge the best of golfers. The course is generally in good condition, but the bunkers were, for the most part, lacking sand. We have received a goodly amount of rain this year in Chicagoland. That may have contributed to the conditions of the bunkers. Green fees are reasonable for the product provided. Overall, a great course if you are looking for a challenge.

Course was well maintained. Pro staff were very courteous. Always enjoyed playing this course and would highly recommend it!

One of the more difficult courses I've ever played but still a lot of fun and would definitely recommend it to play this course at least once if you never had before. Tons of elevation changes and it always seems that a lot your shots between tee to green is never a level shot. Meaning you're on some type of slope whether it being downslope, up, left or right slope. Challenging and fun. I will be back and hopefully shot a better round than last.
