TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I booked Big Run using golfnow and was able to find an unbelievable deal of $4/person (yes, $4) including carts for this Sunday. An hour later I received an email from the golf pro Bill stating that he wont honor the price, and instead will let us play for $45/person. I told him I understood there was a mistake, however there needs to be some convenience/leeway considering golfnow and myself didnt make the mistake, instead Bill from Big Run made the mistake. Bill gave me HIS BEST OFFER of $39, which is a $2 discount of a hot deal at Big Run. I told Bill $30 is more than acceptable/reasonable but Bill never budged, ultimately putting disadvantaged college kids in the hole and ruining their Sunday plans because incompetent Bill cannot honor and man up for his mistake.

Ive played this course three times, and in terms of a challenge and playability it is terrific - one of the best in Chicagoland. However, the pace of play is atrocious, especially on the back nine. Ive never completed the back nine under 2.5 hours, and todays round took a total of 5.5 hours. 3.5 hours in, and only on the 12th hole, I called the pro shop to inform them that three groups were stacked up on one tee. They said I should try to understand because these people are trying to enjoy the weekend. I dont understand. Until management can get a handle on how to maintain an appropriate pace of play, I wont be coming back.

This is one of the hardest courses in the area with 2 par 5s over 600 yards from the white tees and a 210 yard par 3 to an island green. So if you are looking for a challenge this would be the course for you. Be prepared to add 6 to 10 strokes to your normal score, If you manage to survive the front nine the back nine will surely punish you Ive played with scratch golfers that struggle to break 80 from the white tees but a very nice course at a decent price. Also the golf carts are new as of last year and each one has a laser yardage finder with comes in handy often.

Right from the first tee, you realize what youre getting yourself into. This is one of the most challenging courses Ive played in a LONG TIME, so add at least 12 strokes to your handicap. But this is a VERY WELL MAINTAINED course, with the most intimidating par 3s youll ever want to see. So when you get here, BRING YOUR A GAME, and play SMART! And if you go to a golf course to enjoy the clubhouse, this isnt the course for you, as this clubhouse is very dated. But if you want to have FUN, and be CHALLENGED with your golfing experience, well now youve found your PLACE!

If you want to play golf course that is challenging and has a old world golf feel, this is the place to go. This is a great place if you want to spend a lot of time on a course practicing your game, its not easy. Youll realize what youre getting yourself into right off of the first tee. The grounds are unlike anything around in Lemont; they are hilly and difficult... very beautiful course love it

CHALLENGING - have to bring some game to play. The course is very well maintained. Lots of big mature trees and smooth greens. Something you dont see a lot of places is the Rangers doing something always. Rather moving golfers along or filling divots to keep the place looking great. If you appreciate the game and just not going out and swinging this place is a must. Will return again and again

Older guy at the gold shop was very rude, pushy and arrogent. Cart paths are beat up and rough so if you have a drink in your cart it will be spilled. Would not recommended going here for the price, plenty of other course in the area where your money and time is appreciated. This place makes you feel like you are intruding on there time.

This course is old and beautiful. Unless your an accurate shooter, your going to get run over on the Big Run.. The views are awesome and help to cope with the beating this course has to offer. Were coming back for sure. Thank you

Adam Rasmussen

Absolutely love this golf course. Extremely affordable and the course is absolutely wonderful in terms of its layout with all the hills and slopes. Its a more difficult course but that is what makes if fun.

Evan Celing

The course is long and challenging, but upkeep of the course is average at best and facilities havent been updated since the 60s or 70s (at best ???). A fun challenge if you know what youre getting into!

Some long holes on a course with with normal yardage and huge greens. The time I played the greens were a bit slow in my opinion but this course can get very tough.

Nick Capone

Probably the most challenging course Ive played this season...its LONG and cluttered with bunkers....and its in average condition but well maintained.

One of the only hilly golf courses I have played in the Chicago land area. Very well maintained, great pace of play, and great value.

John Marsh

Challenging golf course. Halfway house food and drink Service good. One draw back is that their is no driving range.

john niemann
