what a great track!

Very interesting golf course with a lot of different shots that you have to make.you can't just pull out the driver every hole. iron play is essential on your second shot. the only thing I could say negative about it, was the pace of play. there was an outing in front of us that was horrible. there was a twosome in front of us(us being a threesome) and a foursome behind us. there were a few holes where we were waiting on the next T box for the twosome to tee off, and the foursome came up behind us.Yes, there were three groups of golfers on one tee box. So bad course management. all in all it was a great round of golf though.I will definitely go back the next time I'm passing through the Pittsburgh area!

nice course!

This is a really nice course! The staff is unbelievably friendly, going out of there way, making sure that I enjoyed my time there. I live just outside Philadelphia and expected a very flat, uneventful, Golf Course. the front 9 is the exact opposite. The hills made me feel like I was nowhere near the Midwest. Course conditions were outstanding! I would definitely go back!

feels like the first time playing this course

I've played this course a few times, years ago. I found a great deal on golfnow, but didn't know anything about the course conditions. I remembered I like the course layout but not that great in condition wise. I saw a lot of raving reviews on golfadvisor.com so I decided to try it . WOW WHAT A GREAT COURSE! I can't wait to go back! the only 2 problems I had was there's no practice range, and yardage markers were you and far between. I found myself asking how far am I a lot.

Could be Fantastic

The layout is very interesting. When the new grass settles in, it will probably be great. I'm from the Philadelphia area and I never played on Zoysia grass. I lost 3 balls just off the fairway because the ball would just settle to the bottom. My playing partners who were locals were even complaining about it. It also felt fake, like astro- turf. (Give me bent grass any day)... Its a very hard turf. Difficult to figure out the grain. I was even told there is no grain, but I dont believe that due to how the putts reacted at different times. I know this sounds negative, dont take it that way though. It was an above average course and I would definitely play it again. Golfing in the south is just very different than up north.

WOW!!!!!

I was thoroughly impressed! Every aspect was FANTASTIC!
From conditions to the staff. It is on the expensive side unless you can get a deal on Golfnow. I played for free(golfnow rewards), my buddy played for $48.00 while everyone else paid $78.
It was a slow round, but the rangers were doing everything they could to speed it up.

From tee to green the course was in great shape. Im not from the area (thank god)(GO PENN STATE!!), so I cant really compare it to others nearby. If Im in the area again I would definitely come back.

Play it if you get the chance!!!

Great Links course. If youre not in view of the power plant, its a beautiful place. I also played it on a NON windy day. Im assuming on a windy day, it plays tough. Cant wait to get out there sometime again. I live 100 miles away. But will definitely go back when passing from Central PA to Phila ...Staff was incredibly nice as well. This was a hot deal and I was making a delivery in the area. My delivery held me up past my tee time. I called the pro shop and they told me not to worry about it, come when I can, and they would still honor the golf now deal...and hour and 10 mins after I was supposed to tee off.

What an AWESOME course

The greens are small but the design of the water and bunkers near the greens makes it very interesting. Hit a good shot and you are rewarded. Hit a bad shot and, well just have another ball handy. The views are incredible!!!!

Broad Run is one of my favorites In The Country. The scenery and the layout is absolutly incredible. The staff is very nice, and they seem genuine. The conditions could be a little better, but thats mostly from golfers not repairing ball marks, and divots. I play this course every chance I get!

The more I play this course the more I like it.

Seems like a stretch, but I played Beth Page(the green course) in the beginning of the summer, and I have to say, this reminded me of that a lot. From the tight tree-lined fairways, to the elevation changes, even the way they cut the fairways. Deerfield has a GREAT layout.

Major storms of and on all day. the staff seemed great for the nightmare they encountered on this day. We had to stop and come in twice and just hold off twice more. And not once did any staff member flinch. Great job!
