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.

I’m a very experienced, low handicap senior player. My club had an event today so I decided to try an upscale public access course. Greens are practically uncut on a Sunday. Maybe a5 on the stimp. If you are the type of player that doesn’t mind paying premium prices for good conditions, try a different course.

Beautiful Course

Very Well Maintained, great course layout with every hole having a different elevation. Hole 17 is a great par 3 with a huge drop and fantastic views. Would recommend this course to anyone who enjoys golf.

Too pricey for winter conditions

I've played Broad Run many times and it's a nicely maintained and challenging public course. But I was very disappointed paying a premium winter season price for a course with sand traps under repair and temporary tee box locations. It was cart path only. too. It's understandable to have these course conditions during the winter season, but the price should be lowered due to the greatly diminished golf experience.

They have to lower their prices

Every course is almost booked out tomorrow for weekend golf. These guys have a wide open Tee sheet. Nobody’s playing this course for $110
