Broken Arrow Golf Club - North/South
About
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.

Terrible Condition
Most of the greens were burnt out and mud (it rained the previous day) because of a fertilization issue. Some were barely playable, but some like the par 3 third on the East course was nothing but mud, with tire tracks and deep gorges throughout, making it totally unplayable. We were not warned about the course condition at the time of making the reservation, which was made by phone. Also, the price did not reflect the condition of the course, as we paid $50 to walk (full price). To make things worse, the bunkers were not pumped out, and most had several inches of water in them, making them unplayable. In addition, apparently, they had a water line break and flood in the club house, which was not usable and closed. GolfVisions, the course management company should be embarrassed for taking golfer’s money and permitting play on this course, if you can call it that. It needs to be shut down, and play should not resume until the greens (or in this case “muds”) are reseeded and in proper condition.
There was a fivesome in front of us so we had a substantial wait on just about every shot.
4-5 of the greens didn't even really have grass/were mostly just mud. Rest of the course was actually in pretty decent shape and they do have a grass range with a dozen or so stations.
Stay away from these Greens
The greens on the course have a major problem this year. They were mostly compacted dirt. I do not know what the problem is but they have never been this bad. The course layout is a good challenge. The club house was closed they are doing major remodeling, so bring your own beverage.
Average in Parts, great in others!
We played the North 9 and South 9 and the North 9 was considerably better. I’d say 6/9 greens were in fantastic condition whereas the South 9, the greens were really bad. Black in many areas and were very burnt. The rest of the course was nice minus the greens, fairways and tee boxes were nice. Probably will play somewhere else which has a course in better condition.
Stay away for now...
I can't recommend based on current conditions of the greens and inaccessible clubhouse.
Pro shop stroke
First of all course is in horrible condition for the price especially. Secondly the old guy in the pro shop (trailer) is the biggest douche I have encountered at a golf course. Couldn’t even get some ice for the beers.
Greens are a mess!
14 out of 18 greens were severely damaged by either disease or over fertilization because they were brown with parts of the greens had some grass on them.
There was no notification ahead of time, nor at check in.
We won’t be back this season!!!
Disappointed
Of the 18 played maybe had 3-4 well taken care of greens. Driving range closed. Clubhouse closed. Overpriced given the cons.
THE BEST THING ABOUT THE COURSE WAS THE CART GIRL
THE GREENS WERE BURNT AND NOT GREEN BUT BAD CARPET BROWN AND SUPER FAST. DONT KNOW WHY? THE LAYOUT OF THE COURSE WAS FINE AND CHALLANGING. BUT THE CLUB HOUSE IS CLOSED AND THE LITTLE HOUSE WHERE YOU GO CHECK IN HAD A GUY KINDA ACTING STRANGE AND NOT VERY APPROACHABLE.
Greens were brown
Was an extremely hot day, driving range and halfway house were both closed. Arrived an hour early to practice and couldn’t. Wasn’t any food besides a snickers and bag of chips the entire 18. Didn’t see the cart lady on the back 9 so couldn’t even eat a second snickers. Was starving by then end of the round. The greens were brown and as slick as glass. I won’t be going back anytime soon unfortunately.
Dead greens
8 or 9 of the greens were a dark brown completely. We waiting about 10 minutes to tee off on every hole and when we're were finishing on 18 there were 4 foursomes waiting to tee off on the south course. Really disappointed in this course for the money I paid. I won't be back any time soon.
Agreed. There's something a little off about that dude...
