Great course layout and lots of tee choices
Was waiting 3 years to play this course after attending a wedding at the clubhouse in 2019. The golf now rate made it more affordable and the course was not crowded. We did have one slight problem with our golf cart at the 14th hole and the cart battery died. The staff at the course were very efficient and got us playing again in about 10 minutes with a replacement golf cart.
Big Ruin...
This course should be closed or sold. It's a dump, no excuse for it's horrendous shape. Nothing even remotely redeeming about it. It's an embarrassment to golf, the City of Lockport and golfers everywhere. A dead raccoon laying in the fairway, fungus on every fairway, brown spots, hard pan, and there is no maintenance. Under no circumstance should this course be allowed to take anyone's money. They should pay you to play here. It's a disgusting place.

Could be amazing but isn’t right now
Amazing layout, has clearly seen better days. Hilliest course around. Greens are slow but in good shape. Rest of the course is bone dry. Needs some TLC to get it back to former glory and it’ll be an absolute monster track.
Hello! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at Big Run Golf Club!
Returned to play after 50 years
It was probably in the 1970's, the last time I played this course. I don't believe the course has changed much in that time with some holes making it a challenge to reach the hole. Enjoyed the layout and the staff was very friendly. Google maps tried to guide me in the maintenance entrance when I arrived at the course, but I was able to correct that. Recommend playing here and use the golf now rate.
Hello. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. We would love to know how we can earn those last two stars next time! Thanks for playing Big Run Golf Club.
So unique!
Big Run is a pleasure to play and is one of the most unique courses in Chicagoland. There are meaningful elevation changes on 9 of the 18 holes that make you really think about your shots. There are a number of "you don't see holes like this anymore" moments and it makes for a memorable round. Conditioning could be better but it is not problematic.
Dry Course
Fairways are very dry and would not play there again in those conditions.

Playing off concrete
I had never played Big Run before. While it is pretty course, extremely long and has many challenging hills, peaks and valleys, the course's fairways were in terrible shape. It was like playing in the desert. It was apparent, the fairways had not been watered in quite some time. All day long it was hitting off a hard pan, On the positive side, shots rolled for quite some time, which definitely helped on the longer holes. The greens were in decent shape and were challenging with up and down hill putts. I would only play this course in early spring when fairways shouldn't be that hard and have green grass vs. the brown grass we experience all day.

No fairway sprinklers and no rain
This could be a nice course, but drought conditions and no fairway watering leave it with grass not growing. The greens are in good shape as they get watered. Maybe some rain will revive it.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the current conditions of the fairways due to the drought conditions. We appreciate your feedback and hope for better weather to improve the grass growth.
Attractive course
They pace of play was good. Greens were in decent shape considering the lack of rain. The fairways were very hard and needs watering. Rough was thick with weeds. Staff was friendly and helpful. Will play again in the future.
bone dry
almost unplayable as there has been no rain or a sprinkler in a fairway

Gooey
Fairways are non existent course needs a lot of help incredibly dry looks to not have been watered all summer
We apologize for the condition of the course during your visit and appreciate your feedback. We are working to improve the course and hope that on your next visit you can see the improvements we have made. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
Dry
Some of the fairways were dust and the course has only been watering the tees and greens in this weather. Probably ok at $40 a round or less but not worth the round at $65.
Thank you for leaving a review. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the course conditions during your visit and appreciate your feedback regarding pricing.
A little dry
Course was not as bad as most recent reviews. Fairways were a little dry as was the rough. Greens and areas around the greens were in good condition. Tee boxes were ok.
Big Disappointment
Wish I could have had a better experience but not on this day. The greens were super slow, fairways were burnt and hard where I was concerned I might snap off a club head, the pace of play was agonizingly slow. It was hot and no drink cart ever passed by. Would not recommend to anyone.

Best overall Golf experence.
Big Run = Big Fun, One of the few course that really gives you a different challenge on every hole. The different elevations, bunkers, trees, and greens all designed to test your skills. The course and facility was built in the 30's so it;s a little weathered and worn but you get many majestic views of mother nature. The food from the kitchen is awesome try their breakfast sandwich, the grill master at the turn makes great to go food and the bar afterwards is a friendly place to cool off and talk about your round. The folks are super nice which makes the drive and $$ all worth it. I play this course at least twice a season and would more often if i lived closer.
Hello. We appreciate the review. You rated us 3-stars which means there is room to improve on your recent experience at Big Run Golf Club. Let us know, in the comments, how and where you would like to see changes from the course. Thanks for the feedback!
