Broken Arrow Golf Club - South/East
Played On 04/12/2024Good Parkland Course with moderate difficulty
The course will be much better if the divots were fixed. Water hazards are eyesores to say the least.
Phillips Park Golf Course
Played On 04/05/2024Walkable course with moderate difficulty
Played after 3 days of continuous rain/snow. Hence the ground was quite wet. However, it was not a detriment to walking the course. If the players fixed the divots and ball marks, it would even more enjoyable for all.
Orchard Valley Golf Course
Played On 03/27/2024On the mend
Ever since Troon took over and Ben Nachway was put in charge, this course has been improving. Just make sure the ball marks on the green and the divots on the fairways are fixed. Ben is doing a wonderful job. Also, kudos to the starters.
Orchard Valley Golf Course
Played On 03/04/2024Good course, maintenance needed
Fairways in good conditions, except for numerous divots that need to be filled. Almost all bunkers are in immediate need of repair. Greens are in average condition.

Stony Creek Golf Course
Played On 02/14/2024Very good Lay-out with 8 par 3's
This is a very good course with some unique hole designs. Par 65 with 8 par 3 holes. Some maintenance on the fairways will make the rating go up. holes 6, 7, 14 and 15 are quite challenging.
Tamarack Golf Club
Played On 02/01/2024Senior-friendly, walkable course
Good: Flat layout, easy for walkers. Plenty of water hazards. Fairways/greens in good condition. Some winter debris still lingers, but playable. Management responded after my last suggestion to clean the greens. Thank you!
Need some work: Some sand bunkers still have mud,. Hopefully they will be fixed by spring.

Played On 01/04/2024Flat course.. Main hazards are water, water, and water
Good: Easy course for seniors to walk. Fairways are in very good condition.
Need attention: Greens need some cleaning (understand it is winter, but as long as the course is open, pls clean the greens). A few bunkers need some maintenance.

George W Dunne National Golf Course
Played On 12/08/2023A very good layout being killed by poor management
The good: Greens, driving range, practice putting area
The bad: Fairways under poor repair. Plenty of open divots
THE UGLY: Cart paths in too many areas under horrible condition.
Hughes Creek Golf Club
Played On 11/17/2023Good course with some elevation changes
This is an old course that has gone through a few management changes recently. Maintenance is just adequate, although holes 4 and 5 need major work. Cart paths are generally in really bad condition.
Settler's Hill Golf Course
Played On 11/15/2023Greens OK. Bunkers good. Fairways Horrible.
This is a course managed by Golf Visions. From the looks of it, this course is about to b shut down, Will not recommend this course to any golfer
Settler's Hill Golf Course
Played On 10/11/2023They have practically murdered this course!
Once a decent track, this course has fallen victim to neglect and mismanagement. The greens are in just OK condition. The bunkers are good. But the tee-off areas and the fairways are in AWFUL conditions. The ground is hard, divots from months ago are still there. There is no glimpse of the new clubhouse that was promised. Multiple reviews I wrote have not made any tangible results. What a tragedy!
Orchard Valley Golf Course
Played On 08/18/2023A mature course. The new Superintendent OK
Must have changed management. The previous operator ran the course down. Either they got religion or the Park district changed management. The new chief Ben N is a great guy. Bottom line, the course is getting better. Now, if they could clear some of the overgrowth around ponds and fairways, it would be even better. Hole # 17 needs a major makeover. I heard rumors that the course may be remodeled in the near future. ??
Big Run Golf Club
Played On 08/04/2023A very good layout being persecuted by the Management
Great layout... Used to be a course one would love to play. Except for the greens, this course has not been maintained at all. The cart paths where they appear, are in shambles. The poorly maintained rough is safer than the cart paths. The signs say drive carts on the rough! A few bridges on a creek that runs across the course look very unsafe. This course if not repaired should be shut down!
We appreciate your feedback on the course layout and apologize for any negative experiences you had due to the lack of maintenance. We will address these issues promptly to provide a better experience in the future. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Bloomingdale Golf Club
Played On 08/01/2023Typical parkland course for the region.
A very playable course for seniors. Good challenges on #11 and #17. Most of the greens are fairly elevated from the fairway. Will go back again some time.
Hello, u000002679259. Thank you for visiting us at Bloomingdale Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Tanna Farms Golf Club
Played On 06/15/2023A reasonably good course gone down in quality. Good: Greens are in excellent shape
Except for the excellent greens, nothing much to say about this course. Fairways are in bad repair, The cart paths are in horrible condition. The numerous bumps and pot holes make riding on the paths a literally back-breaking proposal. For practice, there is a small patch of putting green,
Orchard Valley Golf Course
Played On 06/01/2023Good: Friendly staff, good restaurant, course lay-out good.
Need Attention: Tee Boxes are in really bad shape. Major fixing needed....... Ball washers are totally dry.
Big Run Golf Club
Played On 05/22/2023From Old Glory to Cash Cow
Good: Best layout in the area. Greens in good condition
Bad: Rough is cut high so that if a ball falls on it it disappears. Unless you step on it it will be lost.
UGLY: 1. Cart Paths are only around tees and greens, and that are in TERRBLE shape. 2. Bridges over creeks look dangerously out of repair. 3. Clubhouse area very unattractive, 4. Carts were not allowed in the fairways?
With some repairs and better maintenance you CAN bring this course back to its old glory, With a perfect day for golf, there very few players playing!
Tanna Farms Golf Club
Played On 05/04/2023The new management is atrocious!
This used to be a really good course UNTIL Golf Visions took over as management. The tee boxes are in extremely bad condition. Fairways are aplenty with deep divots left over from last years. Ball marks on the greens are still there from last season. The cart paths are full of bumps and pot holes. No, i won't recommend this course to a friend. I recommend the owner to fire Golf Visions and go back to really managing the golf course...please!
Hughes Creek Golf Club
Played On 04/06/2023A good course going to the dogs with poor maintenance
This course is under some private management and the course is being neglected. The cart paths are atrocious, fairways are full of bumps . The warm weather lately has helped grass growth, but this course has become a cash cow for the management. The front nine was unplayable due to standing water so we were asked to play the back nine twice.
Orchard Valley Golf Course
Played On 01/11/2023Temporary (winter)Greens are awful
This is a good course for average golfer. However, they close the regular greens for winter and use the fairway close to the green as temp greens. These temp greens are awful. It would be nice to roll the temp green -- may be once a week? The water hazards attract a lot of Canada geese and they graze on the fairway and leave a mess. Almost every hole on the course is on or very close to a water hazard and you can imagine the amount of "stuff" you collect on the bottom of your shoes!
Hi u000002679259, thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you've noticed improvements under Ben's leadership at Troon. Your point about the ball marks and divots is duly noted and we'll continue to work on maintaining the course to the highest standards. We'll be sure to pass along your kudos to the starters as well!
