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.

Many greens were "killed" accidentally and are impossible to put on.
In many places the car paths are "bone rattling".
Due to water damage from a sprinkler failure, there is no access to restrooms (only porta-potties), and no drinking water on the course.
Greens were pure mud …not playable
Tee times should not have been sold for this course.
ALL 18 holes , the greens were pure MUD. Absolutely NOT PLAYABLE. It was a shame that Golf Now even offered this course.. But if Golf Now was not made aware of it, then Broken Arrow is responsible for allowing the sale to go through..The Pro shop at B A said, because we booked thru GN, we should talk to them.
Poor Green Conditions
The price was not bad and it was wide open but 3 greens on the east course and 2 on the north we in terrible condition and not even playable.
Buyer beware. Greens are in terrible shape!
Played East North and about a third of the greens were in dreadful shape. Not just dead, but nonexistent. We were putting on mud! No mention of this online or at the “clubhouse” when we checked in. Not until we mentioned it at the turn as to why we would be charged full price for this experience and the marshal couldn’t even make eye contact. Looked away like a scalded dog and said something about a “chemical issue”. It wouldn’t had been as big of a deal if someone had just mentioned it to us when we checked in. East coarse was way worse than North. The south course was “closed” just to find out they were saving it for an outing that was happening that afternoon. Sure, stick the rest of the paying stiffs with the unplayable holes and keep the presumably good course for the outing. Just felt deceived.
Clubhouse is under repair and being run out of a shack. Don’t expect to stick around and have a beer after your round, unless you want to buy it from a guy selling them out of a cooler in the parking lot. Not kidding.
It’s a shame. I’ve played this course several times in the past and won’t be back until it’s fixed.
Greens are a real problem
Played East/North and 5 greens were unplayable. Rest of course was find. Clubhouse closed and couldn't get any water anywhere on or off the course. Very disappointing. Should have known about the condition before and would not have gone.
Numerous issues with course.
I have played there many times over the years, but unfortunately I will not play it again this year. They have three nine hole course where I played the East and North courses. The East course had 3 holes where the greens were destroyed due to the weather - literally no grass on it and the North had two holes that way. They had a water main issue so no drinking water available - only bottled and port a potties.
The other issue for some golfers is the available tee lengths - the longer boxes Gold Blue and White do not have a great difference in lengths roughly 6900, 6600 and 6300 for 18. The next level down - Red is only 5200 yards. So if you want to play something closer to 6000 yards, you're out of luck and will probably not have a good time.
greens are dead
half of the greens had no are practically no grass. Apparently they had a mishap with the chemicals they used. I don't remember a warning on the Tee Off site warning of the conditions. Long Drive, frustrating conditiions and no warning!
A very experience. Please return my money
I truly want my money back. The course greens are in worst condition. The green had some chemical issues which killed the grass. It was a waste of timE, driving and expenses.
Greens are DEAD
Played July 4th. The overwhelming majority of the greens on the South & East 9's are DEAD. We were told AT THE TURN, NOT BEFORE. Would have been nice to know BEFOREHAND. The clubhouse is being renovated, so no 19th hole to speak of. Only candy, chips and Gatorade at the turn. The course, with the exception of the greens are actually in decent shape. Bunkers we're hit & miss, some good, others were typical Illinois bunkers with dirt/sand mix. I've always enjoyed Broken Arrow, a little less so this time.
The putting green is bad
Played here last year,Too bad almost all putting Green is dry n dead I not play this course until that fix n maintained this putting green.
7 playable greens
The course messed up their greens with the wrong dilution of chemicals. Burned up all the grass so they were essentially unplayable. This was the case for 11 of the 18 greens on south/east. The GM said we received a ten dollar discount for the “5-6 really bad greens”. . . We did not receive a ten dollar discount. I know how much I paid John. And 5-6? I mean. . . It’s either 5 or 6 not both, and it was actually 11 of them. Not customer service skills when contacted about the laughable conditions. Will not return even with the greens are back in shape.
Terrible Condition
The Clubhouse and Washroors were not Open.
Looks like they may have been remodeling, but noone was there , and the doors had "STOP WORK ORDERS POSTED."
.No explanation at the temporary pro shop.
Half of the Greens were unplayable . Some Disease I assume. . I had played there at least oncce a year for the last 20 years, I have never seen anything like this befire.
... Do Not waste yoyr money there. !!!!!!!
Greens
The greens on multiple holes where very bad , don’t know if it was due to lack of rain or some kind of bug issues. Was there a month ago and it was much better don’t know what happened over the last month
Needs Improvement
A number of the greens have no layer of grass. As if the grass had disease. You’re basically hitting onto/putting on a layer of dirt/mud. Additionally, the restroom facilities were exceptionally dirty in every way. Too expensive of a green fee for the condition of the course.
Greens were horrible
Greens were in horrible condition. Big mistake not warning the golfers of this condition and charging them full price. I’ll definitely warn my buddies to avoid this course.
