Will County, Illinois doesn't get the same golf headlines as the Chicago resort corridors to the north, but it has quietly built a solid base of public golf — and Big Run Golf Club sits comfortably within that tradition. Lockport itself is one of the older communities in the Chicago metropolitan area, a canal town along the Des Plaines River whose industrial past has given way to suburbs while retaining patches of the flat, open terrain that defines this part of the Illinois landscape.
Big Run plays as a public facility, which in this corner of Will County means it serves a broad cross-section of golfers — weekend regulars, beginners, and serious players who want a full par-72 test without a membership. The Des Plaines River valley corridor tends to produce courses with some natural movement in the land, tree lines that create definition off the tee, and the kind of turf conditions that reward local knowledge built up over many rounds.
If you're coming from Chicago or the southwest suburbs, Big Run represents the kind of accessible, unpretentious golf that holds a region's game together — not a destination track, but a dependable one worth knowing.
