If you're looking for a golf course that has all the characteristics of a tour course in the Chicago area, Big Run is it. The layout of the land has severe slopes from fairways to greens. Fairways are also lined with mature oak trees; there are doglegs from both sides and run outs beneath thick branches of the trees all over the course. The course is worth the price and drive just to experience a course like this that's unlike any other course in the Chicagoland area.

This course starts with a pat 3 hole which is unique. It has 5 par 3's and 5 par5's and yardages are balanced for scoring; they have a couple of par 5's measuring over 600yards from the tip. It's a fun course no matter what yardages to play from. I would recommend this course to play and play again as there're holes that have blind yardage carry from the tee box.

Played this course mid November and was surprised how the greens were rolling. They were rolling true and about 10-11 stimp. As far as course layout, it's challenging from the tips for advanced players and friendly from the advanced tees. There's a practice area and a grass driving range. It's a great value for the type of course it offers.

I would recommend this course for their layout and their great greens. Played it early April and was surprised with the greens condition. They we're firm and rolling truel.

Being that it's late December, the greens are in great condition. The rest of the course, however, is a different story. The fairways were soggy caused by overnight rain. The course couldn't absorb the rain water along with the thawing from the December freeze given the course layout is relatively flat. I would recommend this course for itts playability with beginners and option to play close to 7,000 yards for advance players.
