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.

Excellent Links course

Was not impressed with the club house or practice facility, but the course itself was just great. Excellent fairways, for the most part level tee boxes, huge greens that were very very nice.
Drawbacks were it was in a condo, apt, housing development and no GPS.
Played the Blue tees of South and East 6,600 yards was a lot to deal with in the wet and windy conditions.

Pace of Play

I’ve played Broken Arrow multiple times hoping it would get better, but unfortunately it has not. This most recent time the greens were as thick as carpet, but was worse was that there was a bachelor party of 12 guys holding pace of play, and the rangers did not do anything to speed it up. For the price there are better courses.

Rating and slope don't align with the course

Everything about the round was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. The pace of play was very acceptable. We knew ahead of time that the clubhouse was closed and the amenities were slim.

My big issue is the slope and rating. This is an easy course, especially the South course. It is forgiving off of the tea, and easily avoidable trouble once you're off the tee. The rating and slope are too high and unfairly affects one's handicap index.

We played the South-East layout, and the East course was much more challenging. Still overall, easier than the rating indicates

Disappointing pace of play and pin placements

A 8:30 morning round with a cart should never take almost 5 hours to finish. I think for starters they did not space out the tee times far enough part. Then the pace of play was very slow and there were no rangers out monitoring the speed of play. On one hole the group of front of us just stopped to get drinks in the middle of the fairway holding our group and the group behind us on the tee. Also the pin placements were not ideal with just about every pin being placed at the edge the green.
