Broken Arrow Golf Club - West Short Link

I’ve played Broken Arrow multiple times hoping it would get better, but unfortunately it has not. This most recent time the greens were as thick as carpet, but was worse was that there was a bachelor party of 12 guys holding pace of play, and the rangers did not do anything to speed it up. For the price there are better courses.

Course itself was good, but amenities severely lacking. Only Porta-potties!

Everything about the round was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. The pace of play was very acceptable. We knew ahead of time that the clubhouse was closed and the amenities were slim.

My big issue is the slope and rating. This is an easy course, especially the South course. It is forgiving off of the tea, and easily avoidable trouble once you're off the tee. The rating and slope are too high and unfairly affects one's handicap index.

We played the South-East layout, and the East course was much more challenging. Still overall, easier than the rating indicates

A 8:30 morning round with a cart should never take almost 5 hours to finish. I think for starters they did not space out the tee times far enough part. Then the pace of play was very slow and there were no rangers out monitoring the speed of play. On one hole the group of front of us just stopped to get drinks in the middle of the fairway holding our group and the group behind us on the tee. Also the pin placements were not ideal with just about every pin being placed at the edge the green.

I've seen a lot of negative reviews on this course since they had a run of bad luck with weather and course management [for whatever reason] and was leery to play it...but I was pleasantly surprised. Fairways were groomed and mowed short, bunkers were soft, greens were running smooth and overall I think this course is rebounding nicely. No clubhouse? Who cares...I didn't go there to lounge around and enjoy the decor. Beverage cart saw us three times over the course of our round too. Glad we gave it a chance to earn our business again.
