About this course
Broken Arrow Golf Club in Lockport, Illinois features a 27-hole layout designed by Bob Lohmann, with the North and South nines forming one of the primary 18-hole combinations at the facility. Lohmann, a Chicago-area architect active from the 1960s through the 1990s, designed numerous courses throughout the Midwest with an emphasis on playability for a range of skill levels. The course sits in the southwestern suburbs of Chicago, where the terrain typically offers gentle rolling land shaped by glacial activity and proximity to the Des Plaines River valley. The North and South routing likely takes advantage of the natural topography common to this region, incorporating modest elevation changes, mature tree-lined fairways, and water features that come into play on several holes. Courses in this area often feature parkland characteristics with defined corridors and strategic bunkering that rewards accuracy over pure distance. The layout serves a membership that values accessible daily golf in a suburban setting, with the 27-hole configuration allowing for varied play and pace management during busy periods. Broken Arrow operates as a daily-fee facility, making it part of the public golf infrastructure serving the greater Chicagoland area. The club provides a straightforward golf experience typical of regional courses from this era, focusing on solid conditioning and playable design rather than championship length or severe hazards. The combination of nines allows golfers to experience different routing options depending on availability and preference.

Getting there
Broken Arrow Golf Club sits in the quiet farmland southwest of Chicago, accessible most directly via Chicago Midway International (MDW), roughly forty-five minutes south by car through the gentle roll of Illinois prairie and suburban transition zones. Those arriving from O'Hare International (ORD) on the city's north side should allow ninety minutes for the drive down I-55 and local roads into Will County. The final miles unfold through a landscape of open fields and tree-lined country roads that signal the shift from metropolitan reach into the agricultural heartland where Lockport anchors this exclusive enclave. Broken Arrow's discreet entrance and manicured grounds emerge as a refined sanctuary, a private refuge that feels worlds removed from the urban sprawl despite its proximity to one of America's largest metropolitan areas.
