Designed by Rees Jones, Broad Run Golfer's Club boasts one of the best layouts in the area. The course sprawls across over 370 acres of rolling hills countryside. The dramatic elevations are definitely not something you would expect from a golf course that is conveniently situated so close to downtown Philadelphia. The elevated tees feel as though they're in the clouds and mature trees frame most of the holes. There are hazards lurking throughout the golf course including swampy marshlands and tall, dense grasses that are all just waiting to swallow errant shots. It is a challenging layout no doubt but it is made more player friendly with generous fairways and Jones was also light on the bunkering. One of the most difficult and scenic holes is the par-5 15th. This hole plays uphill, featuring a blind tee shot to a plateau green surrounded by trees.

First time

Enjoyed the course, first time playing. Some blind shots, would help tip have a better map of the holes, either on the tee box or maybe GPS on the carts. A bit pricier than average but course is very challenging and has great views throughout.

Great track

This is a really great and challenging golf course. Pace of play is consistently an issue. They do not monitor to make sure people keep moving. We have ended up standing around alot most of the rounds that I've played here. Yesterday was particularly bad. A foresome playing from the blues who should have been in front of the reds. Hunting for lost balls all day. Ranger actually came by and tried to hassle my group. We sent him forward but he was useless and never seen again.

Great course

Course was in great shape except for the traps. I’m thinking due to lateness of the season maintenance of traps has stopped.

The course personnel were extremely friendly as usual. This is only my third time playing Broad Run and each tie out I’m enjoying the course more.

Fantastic

This course is fantastic . Its a great course I really enjoyed the day. Friendly personal. Course in great condition. My observation is that some golfers are really not great golfers for this type of course. The pace on the back nine could have been faster. Two groups in front of us kept losing balls and spending long time looking in the woods for the balls.

Picturesque Fall Golf

We played a round yesterday in beautiful fall sunshine. Course was very well maintained compared to most other local courses. Rolling hills and amazing undulation on 75% of the holes. This place is unique, over 18 holes only 2 fairways run next too each other but you wouldn't know. This give each hole an individual personality. I could play this course for decades and never get bored. Nice that the course is split from front and back 9, 10min turnarounds welcomes a break and a snack. Love this place - highly recommended.
