Rating 74.5

Broken Arrow Golf Club, located just southwest of Chicago's Loop, offers 27 holes of championship golf. There are three nines: East, North, and South that are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The South/East Course begins with a links-style nine. The front of the course is accented by the landmarks of its former use as a farm. The original farmhouse and silo can be seen from the first teebox. Throughout the front nine, golfers will be faced with 22 bunkers, seven ponds, and multi-tiered greens. The golf course doesn't get any easier on East nine, which is arguably the most difficult of the three. The back nine features a slew of sloped fairways, hidden water hazards, and strategically placed bunkers. Course management is essential throughout the entire golf course.

4:15 for 13 holes

Awful pace. 1st 3 holes on south were under 35 minutes. Got to par 4 and sat at every hole after that. Terrible pace. Either too booked or not enough administering of pace of play.

This course has challenging holes

Enjoyed the course except for the bunkers which were essentially unplayable. Rest of the course was in nice shape and the greens rolled nicely.

Good course with interesting holes. Friendly staff

The cart paths on the North Course need repairs. Otherwise great value for the money. Electric carts are nice and quiet.

Very Nice Course

Played here in a foursome on an autumn Friday morning. Course was well attended but not packed. Course was in very good shape, including the greens -- which had either not been punched yet, or have already recovered from being punched. Nice wide fairways most of the times for the more casual golfer, but a good bit of water and woods OB to make it a challenge too. I lost more golf balls than usual this round, but that's not the courses' fault. The pro shop is small and only has essentials. And the snack counter (?) only has hot dogs, bags of chips, candy, and some cold drinks (beer/pop/water/sports drinks) in a refrigerator. Would have liked a bigger food offering, but oh well. I'd play here again.
