Big Run Golf Club Tee Times

Had such a great time had big run golf club from a vendor standpoint. Loading was amazing making it super easy to navigate the grounds. Definitely a very spacious deck right off the golf in green.

One of the most challenging courses in Chicagoland, true test of skills, average conditions but beautiful layout makes up for it. Love it!

Incredible layout and history- mature course at a beautiful setting- definitely has slight pace of play issues, at least on the day we played- but well run and friendly staff. Course maintenance could be slightly improved as the conditions were very dry and the ground was hard in fall of 2024. Some very memorable holes, tight driving conditions so you'll want to play an iron or 2 off the tees if you spray it with the driver. Would play again- this course is a sleeping giant.

Difficult course. Really not a good course to play if you have a high handicap. I enjoy the layout. It's unique for the Chicago area as the tee boxes are high up and you hit down to a valley and hit up to the green. It is not uncommon to have a green 30 above where you're hitting and a couple are more than that. Needless to say, it is impractical to play unless you have a riding cart. The greens have a lot of terrain making reading them challenging. The biggest knock as to why giving it only 3 stars is they do not have any indication as to where the pin position is. All the flags are the same color and there is no pin position chart. So unless you have range finder that's reliable, knowing the distance to the flag is a problem. The place was planned to be sold a couple years ago and it had been let go a bit. Roads and bridges in disrepair. It now has new management and perhaps will improve.

With a few minor tweaks this course could be beyond outstanding. The layout is interesting and the terrain is pretty hilly for Illinois. We only got lost once, but quickly figured it out. A few bunkers had weeds, in rough shape, or under repair, but the majority had been freshly raked. Some standing water, but we'd had torrential downpours the two days prior. The tee boxes were in great shape for being tee boxes. The greens were also in great shape and we appreciated trying to figure out the undulations. The fairways and rough were an appropriate height. The water on the course makes it challenging, but that's more a reflection of my beginner skill. My husband enjoyed the level of difficulty. One of the only downsides were the cart paths are in rough shape. Looks like they're putting down fresh gravel in places to improve the experience, but some of the blacktop is rough. Bridges could use sprucing up or painting, but that's just aesthetics. Many dead oak trees really need to be taken down. Staff was super nice. Even let us start a few minutes early since we were ready. New bathrooms and an old-school bar. Maybe not the luxury experience some people want, but the overall price and quality were well matched. It's going to cost a lot more with a few improvements.
