Broken Arrow Golf Club - South/East
About
Broken Arrow Golf Club, located just southwest of Chicago's Loop, offers 27 holes of championship golf. There are three nines: East, North, and South that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The South/East Course begins with a links-style nine. The front of the course is accented by the landmarks of its former use as a farm. The original farmhouse and silo can be seen from the first teebox. Throughout the front nine, golfers will be faced with 22 bunkers, seven ponds, and multi-tiered greens. The golf course doesn't get any easier on East nine, which is arguably the most difficult of the three. The back nine features a slew of sloped fairways, hidden water hazards, and strategically placed bunkers. Course management is essential throughout the entire golf course.

Wonderful Course(s)
Really fantastic course. I played the South/East combo. There weren't a ton of people on the course so I flew through my round. I think both of these 9 hole tracks are really great. Par 4's are not that challenging, fairways have some nice rolling features to them. The par 5's are well designed with water in the right places to make you think about your next shot and whether going for the green in two is worth it. All the grass is well kept, watered, and mowed. Greens were practically immaculate. What I especially loved about these designs is that, while there are houses adjacent to the fairways, the direction of play always places them on the left. Wonderful, considering most golfers are right-handed slicers (if you hook or slice left-handed, be nice to the neighbors...though the houses aren't that close to the fairway, and the holes themselves are designed to hit away from them). The par-3's are great, either hitting with water as a danger or to a multitiered green. Carts are electric, all have divot sand and rain covers. No GPS, but the clubhouse offers yardage books for 5 bucks. There are courses in the area where you'll pay a lot more and get two-decade-old carts and jack from the clubhouse besides an attitude. Broken Arrow gave the feeling that golf is something everyone enjoys and hope the people who play there leave with an enjoyable experience. I certainly did.
Overpriced
The bunkers were full of knee deep water.I lost 6 balls in traps. For what they charge, they need to address this or cut the greens fee.
Good Parkland Course with moderate difficulty
The course will be much better if the divots were fixed. Water hazards are eyesores to say the least.
Nice course slow play
Broken arrow is a fun course in good shape with many challenges forced carry water ect. The greens are nice good speed and true. The only issue is most people play form in correct set of tees. The white tees are 6,300 yards to long for most occasional golfers the Blue tees are 6,600 yards where most play so they end up with three or fours shots on Par 4’s which slows pace. If you can’t drive 260 don’t try
The blue tees you will get crushed and slow pace down. I only play here in off peak times due to the slow play. Weekends are a 5+ hour round
So I booked a tee time for myself in 4-14-2024
For 2:20pm . I get there check in pay and head over two the north course as I pull up they had a threesome about tee again I was alone so instead of pairing me up with the threesome. Thomas the starter went under the tree and called the pro shop complaining about why they booked me alone. So he sends me to the east course and says I should be good to go that wasn't the case. Their was two foursomes just hanging out . I drove 40 minutes to this course which I live by several courses but wanted to give this course a shot.
So between the guy running the pro shop and the starter they ruined my day.
I work 6 days a week and just wanted to golf.
Maybe thomas can take another math class so he knows 3+1=4.
I don't understand why I could play with the threesome.
Fall Golf
The conditions and pace of play at this course was great. The only downside is lack of restroom facilities on the course. Otherwise, the course was well maintained and looked great for fall!
Had a great time with my sons
Took my sons out for our first round of golf together. Very nice and toasty day. We all had a great time.
