Rating 74.8

Located just 40 miles southwest of Chicago's Loop, Broken Arrow Golf Club is one of the most popular golfing facilities in the area. The club offers 27 holes of championship golf, divided into three unique nines that offer different challenges and scenery. The golf courses: East, North, and South, are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The North/South is the most scenic of the courses. The North is especially beautiful, but it also has another distinction. It is the only course in the Midwest with a dual-green concept. The design allows golfers to control the difficulty of the course by offering the option to play to either of the two flags on each hole. The club's former use as a farm is evident on the South nine where the original farmhouse and silo can be seen from the first tee box.

Ouch the greens and ouch the attitude

Apparently someone made a fertilization mistake and killed the grass on the greens. The green fees were reduced so it’s hard to complain too much about that. The rest of the course was in great shape.
What is noteworthy is the attitude of whom ever works the counter first thing in the morning and answers phones. We had some bad weather rolling through when my tee time was approaching so I called ahead to see if they were letting people play. I asked if I should bother coming out with the weather and the response was “what kind of question is that? Do you want to play golf or not?” I guess the fella has never heard of severe weather and golf with steel clubs. The attitude wasn’t appreciated, but I made it to the course and checked in with someone else who was great at actual customer service. Not sure where the crabby guy was at, but was happy the tone was better when I arrived and was able to get part of a round in and was issued a rain check.

Some of the greens were in terrible condition. It was lowers than putting on the rough.
We could have been told about this problem by the staff beforehand so it wasn’t a shock.
Not sure what was going on, but they may have had a disease.

Stay away for the rest of 2022 - at least! A total rip off.

Half of the greens are unplayable - not just bad, but literally unplayable. And it will take a miracle to get them into decent condition before the end of this season. When we complained about the conditions at the turn, the guy gave a rude response like he clearly didn't care. This course shouldn't even be open with the condition it's in.
They have 3 nines, but the South was closed so we played East-North. The design of the North greens are a joke - they're huge in size & really weird shapes. The few yardage markets they have are worthless because you don't know what they're measured to.
You couldn't pay me to go back.

Great layout and in good shape besides greens

Great course but currently the greens are under repair but still very playable. Rest of course is in great shape. They discounted green fee for the greens issue.

Greens were crap. There was a small discount but for how poor they were (couldn’t even putt) there should have been a more significant discount

Should be closed

The course shouldn’t even be open it is in such bad shape. Half the greens are straight mud with patches of grass. Clubhouse is closed with a stop work order from February meaning ownership isn’t taking care of any upkeep just trying to get suckers to come play there at high rates. Totally disgusted at the lack of professionalism from those working there as well.

Muddied greens

Played this course about ten rounds a year I play a lot of golf. This is probably the last time I’d play here !! Course layout is nice and staff is very friendly. For some reason they have a clubhouse in a trailer but course was in terrible condition mainly one third of the greens were not playable. No joking we had to take a two putt cause we couldn’t putt on approximately 6 of them no joke the greens were mud. I’d never play here again I wish I’d taken photos of the mud I mean greens

Many greens were "killed" accidentally and are impossible to put on.
In many places the car paths are "bone rattling".
Due to water damage from a sprinkler failure, there is no access to restrooms (only porta-potties), and no drinking water on the course.

Greens were pure mud …not playable

Tee times should not have been sold for this course.
ALL 18 holes , the greens were pure MUD. Absolutely NOT PLAYABLE. It was a shame that Golf Now even offered this course.. But if Golf Now was not made aware of it, then Broken Arrow is responsible for allowing the sale to go through..The Pro shop at B A said, because we booked thru GN, we should talk to them.
