Big Run Golf Club

High roughs make it very challenging to find your ball. The change in elevation from hole to hole makes it fun and challenging regardless!

I've played here in the past and was hoping with all the great conditions of nearby courses this course might not disappoint. However, with some very thick rough conditions it made the round much longer than it should have been. The ground fairways and rough were firm like mid June and browned in most areas.

There was no starter just the guy working the inside over the intercom calling people to the tee. There was no cart girl out on the course... on a Holiday. There was no ranger. I've heard the rumors and I think they might be true sadly. The redeeming quality the course has is its layout and undulations.

Staff very friendly to our group of golfers. Bar staff, and half-way house staff was great. Challenging course would play agai n.

It’s a beautiful course, rough is a problem. Courteous staff and the layout is amazing. Greens are quite fast and challenging. I’d definitely play there again.

This is one heck of a course , shot a 92 , on any other course it would’ve been an 82 , simply amazing!

Dandelions all over, rough was so high balls going lost less than 10 ft from fairways/greens. Add elevation and blind shots makes it impossible to play.

Fun track. Challenge from the back tees, or can be easier and more forgiving from the front tees. Lots of trees. They seem intimidating, but there’s so many you’re bound to get a good kick into the fairway!

The par 3s are the most memorable. They remind me of cog hill / Dubs par threes, but a little easier and shorter. Bunkers All around, with down hill or elevate greens.

The staff is very friendly. The only thing to really deduct on is no driving range. They do however, have 3 or 4 nets to hit into. You are allowed to chip on the practice green.

Beautiful track- and TOUGH!! I'd play again 100%. Greens are some of the most difficult I've ever played. Uphill a club+ on most holes. I was highly impressed- and the VIEWS! Enjoy

The staff at this place is the rudest people I’ve come across the first time I played they were very rude to me and my group we decide maybe they were just having a bad day so we tried it again and yet again they were very rude again from the front desk to the bar tender it felt like we were bothering them with us being there if I’m paying 7 dollars for a hotdog a little better attitude would be appreciated also being told to hurry up on the course to keep pace when we never even seen the next group behind us just over all rude people

Big Run is my favorite course in the Chicago area with the hills, oak trees and tricky greens. The weather was perfect and the course was in the best shape in quite awhile. The only downside of the round was there was a 6-some that slowed everyone down (2:15hr front...good, 2:40hr back side- terrible) with 2 holes open ahead of them.

Thank god it was a very cold morning, no push due to lack of golfers. Very difficult course.
Beautiful layout.
