Broken Arrow Golf Club's East Course is located in Lockport, Illinois, a southwestern suburb of Chicago situated along the Des Plaines River valley. Designed by Bob Lohmann, a regional architect active in the Midwest during the latter decades of the twentieth century, the course reflects the rolling terrain characteristic of this part of the Illinois River watershed. The property features mature tree-lined fairways and elevation changes that are notable for the relatively flat Chicago metropolitan area. The routing takes advantage of the natural contours, with holes that move through wooded corridors and across more open stretches. Water features come into play on several holes, typical of courses built in this river valley setting. The layout presents a straightforward test of golf suited to a range of skill levels, with strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward accurate approach play. As part of a multi-course facility, the East Course serves both members and daily-fee players. Broken Arrow operates as a public-access facility and has been part of the Lockport golf landscape for several decades. The course provides a traditional parkland experience within reasonable proximity to Chicago, making it a practical option for golfers in the southwest suburban corridor. The club maintains standard amenities including practice facilities and a clubhouse with food and beverage service.
