Big Run Golf Club

Good day, pace of play, great staff, course in great shape

I was really surprised that the course changed me an extra 10.00 for the cart. I thought the cart was included with my quoted price through Golf Now. Course if very difficult and found the conditions tough with the windy conditions. If you are a pro golfer, then this course if for you.

Great challanging layout. Tee boxes were beat up and bunkers need sand but what do you expect for bonus November Chicago golf.

Kind of like the perfect storm. Played the previous Sunday and colors were spectacular. On 11/10 however, the wind kicked up and all the leaves wee a flying. There was no way the staff could have possibly kept up w the pace of leaves falling. You could hit the ball in the middle of the fairway and still have less than a 50/505 chance of finding your ball. The course, is a must for anyone looking for one of the most challenging public course in the SW Suburbs, maybe The Most!

I love this course! Especially with a deal for so cheap. I would play this course for double what I paid...

Awesome deal for this course. We luckily got a Hot Deal through GolfNow

Course is great. Unfortunately it played at a snail pace of 3 hours on the back nine. A couple of really slow groups drinking heavy and screwing around in front of us.

Office folks are really friendly and run a tight ship which generally keeps play moving. As with any course, when twosomes get forced together by the golf course, play can dramatically slow. I always think it helps play to have a twosome intermixed among the foursomes at a 1 to 4 ratio, especially if that is how the customers picked their times. That ratio really helps the course move on busy days. There are not a lot of "freebies" on this course... you have to hit long and straight in order to obtain a good score on this challenging course. Despite its immense size, course is very well maintained.

I played this course 2 months ago and the course was in great condition then. However, the recent stormy weather has resulted in some water damages in the low lying holes. It took 5 hours to finish the round.

We booked our round through GolfNow 'Hot Deal' for less than half the usual rate. Maybe that was why our twosome was paired with another twosome. Even though every group in front and behind us were twosomes.. Whatever, we had a great time, met two very nice gentlemen and finished in 3 hours 40 min.

This is a challenging course. I find it a good test of how I am really playing. I played pretty early in the am as a single. Lost two balls in the rough that I am sure I would have found with more eyes but note to self, stay out of the rough. The fairways and greens were in very good shape. Good mix of interesting holes. Quite a few long/uphill carries.

Par 5's are brutal. Plays longer than listed yardage since many greens are elevated. Several holes are very narrow. Well bunkered. Pay attemtion to the slope on this course and chose the correct tees or you will be in for a lot of pain.

Me and my colleague were traveling for work and found ourselves with some time in the late afternoon. Instead of heading to the hotel we started looking for a place to play nine holes of golf. We stumbled on to Big Run what positive experience. Now this is not Harbor Town however, the staff was second to no where the course was challenging and in good shape. I can truly say Bill the pro and his team made you feel like you were at your home course.

Thanks Bill and the BIg Run team

Teed off at 4:30 and the back nine was still backed up.

For such a great course, the pace of play needs to be increased. A ranger would help this.

This is a great course but the slow pace makes downgrades the experience significantly.

Behind two elderly women and two elderly gentlemen that should not be playing 18 holes at 6700 yards. Round took 5.5 hours.....never had this issue here, really ridiculous. Course was in spectacular shape and still fun to play.

For a $70 course I expected faster greens, they kept them long because of the drought and probably didn't want them to burn out or use more water. Generally the nicer courses have faster greens and the dog tracks have super slow greens. I've played here before and the greens were very fast but not yesterday and just couldn't get used to the slow speed, came up short a lot.

Course was good, greens were receptive but a little slow for my taste. Knowing there are always pace of play issues I booked a time with 4-5 open tee times ahead of me. We flew thru the front nine and had a death march on the back. No ranger or beverage cart. If there was a ranger this could have been helped

If you like six hour rounds, this is the place for you. Course is in great condition and offers a decent challenge. But the pace of play is unreasonable. Played in a three-some and it took 5 hours and 10 minutes to play 18. The 3 men in front of us must have been prepping to make their PGA tour debuts and also never wanted to not play a shot with the three of them together. When I called the club house, because there were no rangers on the course, the ranger who came out told the group ahead of us to pick it up. They decided to play slower. From the time I called the ranger, to finishing 4.5 holes, it took 90 minutes. When I saw the ranger again at that time, he told me "there were no gaps in play." What a joke. Price not worth the hassle.

Everything went great when it should of been a disaster. Both the indoor and outdoor staff were amazing. They had lost power the night before and it was still out when I got there; and when I finished! How the indoor staff made that all work was awesome. Since they had a rain storm the night before the staff on the course seemed to be everywhere. The were picking up all the fallen branches, mowing everywhere and working on the standing water in the sand traps. I was really impressed with the entire staff's dedication and work ethic! Well done Big Run, Thank You

Great course very challenging and good staff
