Type Public
Par 72
Length 7034 yards
Slope 132
Rating 74.9

There are 27 holes of golf available at Broken Arrow Golf Club, which are broken down into the East, North, and South nines. They are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The East/North Course begins with the most challenging nine of the three. Sloped fairways, hidden water, and strategically placed bunkers make good course management essential. The back nine is considered the most scenic but it boasts another distinction. It is the only course with a dual-green concept in the Midwest, meaning that golfers have the choice of playing to either of the two flags on each hole. It was designed to give players control over the difficulty of the golf course. There are also 30 bunkers and mature trees that come into play on the back nine.

Misslaed

The clubhouse was a sake and the person was rude saying I was a lying who I was. But that was not the only thing that was wrong the greens where dirty and the freeway had a bubble in one hole so they were just the whole cures should not be open to the people.

Muddied greens

Played this course about ten rounds a year I play a lot of golf. This is probably the last time I’d play here !! Course layout is nice and staff is very friendly. For some reason they have a clubhouse in a trailer but course was in terrible condition mainly one third of the greens were not playable. No joking we had to take a two putt cause we couldn’t putt on approximately 6 of them no joke the greens were mud. I’d never play here again I wish I’d taken photos of the mud I mean greens

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.

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.

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.

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.
