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.

A nice course but not worth the money they charge

For $100+ round I don’t really see what you get out of that compared to going to inniscrone or downingtown. Nothing at this course explains why it costs so much. They rake the bunkers but the bunkers have huge rocks in them. The greens aren’t maintained that well. The fringes aren’t fringes. The driving range is a mountain. I’m not even kidding. The beverage cart didn’t have any hot food, just chips. Clubhouse isn’t that nice. If you’re a single they make you ride with another single or you pay an extra 20 dollars. I recently played a course in Maryland for $65 that had free titleist range balls, a maintained course, and lots of opportunities to get food and beverages throughout the round.

Very challenging Course

Course was in excellent condition except the greens. Very slow. Extremely challenging, but too many blind shots. Last time I played here it was Tattersall, so it’s been awhile. Seems at $115 a round, it’s joined other area courses in upping the costs to play these upper tier tracks.

Cresco gem

Broad run is a very hilly course with ALOT of distance between holes.. Now for the good, very challenging with very good conditions and multiple tees to make it challenging for advanced players. Greens, fairways , tees and traps were all good. Not recommended for beginners or people who struggle walking on hills. Overall excellent for intermediate and advanced golfers.

Great course but terrible pace.

This is a gem of a course with a beautiful and challenging layout. Be prepared to hit every club in your bag at some point. Course was in good condition and not enough can be said about the views.

Unfortunately management has sold it soul to the devil for a few extra sheckles. My last round would have lasted over five and a half hours had I not left after 11 holes. Pulling up to each hole there was a group on the tee box, on the fairway, and the green. Unacceptable and disappointing. Friends have had similar experiences as well. Is it worth the terribly slow pace for a few extra tee times squeezed in?

A lot of potential for a great course but pace will prevent me from going back.

Great Course

The course is really fun, greens rolled well early and it’s a challenge on every shot. I’ll definitely be back

The only gripe I have is for the goofball ranger who did goofball ranger things all day. They really serve no purpose.

Played Yesterday. Such a good course I went back and played today

Immaculately kept. Greens were perfect. they dont move as much as it looks like they would. Seems every miss was high).
Fairways were perfect.
Views were great. Wildlife was around and just made it cool.

Played yesterday, had a few holes get away from me and shot in the 90’s from the blues. Went back today knowing I could play better and shot an 85 from the blacks. Par threes are challenging and the pins are protected by either sand or water.

Will definitely be back.

AERATION ALERT

The course won’t tell you but I will.
Greens were punched on Aug 14
Wait a couple of weeks and enjoy the round. Or give your green fees to the course now and have a sub par experience.
It’s maddening how very few courses will alert their customers in advance of aerated greens. I enjoy Broad Run immensely but this deceptive practice ruined my day. I won’t play here again this year because of this. Probably 4-5 rounds of green fees lost by Broad Run. I’ll play next year but will call the pro shop every time and ask about conditions.
