Big Run Golf Club

About Big Run Golf Club

This public track in Lockport delivers honest, no-frills golf at a price that won't break the bank. The course sits in relatively flat terrain typical of the Chicago suburbs, but the layout makes good use of mature trees and strategically placed water hazards to create legitimate scoring challenges. What sets Big Run apart from other municipal courses in the area is its walker-friendly design. You won't find yourself hiking between distant tees and greens like at some poorly planned public courses. The 3.8 Google rating tells the real story here: it's solid golf without pretension. The conditioning is typically what you'd expect from a public facility that sees heavy play, but the greens are usually in decent shape and the fairways are maintained well enough to give you honest lies. If you're looking for a course where you can walk 18 holes without feeling rushed or gouged on price, Big Run fits the bill perfectly. Just don't expect championship conditions or dramatic elevation changes. This is straightforward suburban golf that gets the job done.
