Elks Run Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Elks Run Golf Club in Batavia was designed by Greg Norman. It sprawls across 163 lush and secluded acres where golfers will be hard-pressed to find a home anywhere close to the course. Norman carefully utilized the natural terrain, incorporating the meandering creek on several holes and also adding a few holes that venture up the side of a hill. Thanks to the dramatic elevation changes, there are some tees where your ball seems to stay in the air forever. The first nine is more open with a traditional links-style layout that then leads to the more densely wooded back nine. In addition to the trees and other natural hazards, there is also an unusually thick first cut of rough as well as tall stands of native grasses.

Solid Course
Solid course, good layout. Open, not many trees, but a thick rough to offset that. I shot a personal best during a twilight round, so course is fairly forgiving.
A bit odd a few greens didn’t have a fringe/first cut.
Greens weren’t in the best shape, mainly because other golfers refused to fix divots. All in all good, biggest complaint is with those other golfers who bang up the green and leave it for the next person to deal with.
