Rating 74.5

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.

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

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!

Stay out of the traps

Overall the course was in good condition, but the traps were not raked and often had only one rake for a large trap. The greens are still recovering from last years issue, a little rough in spots, but puttable. Fairways were in good shape, but the lack of divot fill was surprising.

Course in nice shape

My expectations were lower since it is a Golfvisions course, but I was pleasantly surprised. The fairways were well maintained. The greens were soft and about average speed - the on course greens did not match the practice green. The East 9 was longer and more challenging than the South. The fairways were wide and not many blind shots. A good test for any golfer. The bunkers were in poor shape and the pace of play was slow. Overall a nice course and worth another visit.

Last time I gave this place a bad review cause greens were so bad they really weren’t greens it was mud on a quarter of them. But really they made changes and course couldn’t be in better condition I’m happy they’re really taking care of this place still hate the double greens on the north but all three 9 s are fun and challenging
